    door handle locks

    Thank you. Shedload, that is exactly what I meant. I have a LHD Disco and was inquiring on a RHD lock, so that I may enter the vehicle from either side.

    Recommendation for D2 owners

    Oh, ok, sorry, I had misunderstood. Yes, everything worked. 1st press of the open button to open driver's door, a second press to open the entire car. I prefer it this way as it's safer against hijackings etc. So, I'll just order a new receiver.

    Recommendation for D2 owners

    The central lock/alarm receiver under the roof was oxidized and literally rotted away, so the LR Dealer had to bypass it; I can now open/close the car and start it in pure 1960s fashion. So, if someone parks too close to the driver's door and I can' access from there, I literally have no war to...

    Hello, Maurizio here from Rome, Italy. I have a similar issue. LHD Discovery 2 V8 I have had to disable keyless entry as the immobilizer was having fits. I can now enter only from the driver's door (left side), turn/twist key in the old school fashion. At this point, to keep things safe, I...

    Starter motor compatability

    Well, IMHO, if the engine block is the same, unless radical states of tune are considered, most/all components should be the same for the same model year. Looking at the 4.0 V8, if one model declares 183 bhp, another 185 bhp and another yet 190bhp, chances are it's all in the twists and turns of...

    Is my starter motor knackered? On my 3.9 v8i petrol

    One piece of advice, if I may... With your cellphone, take a picture of the starter motor and wiring before you undo all the wires, it'll help as you want to reconnect them and can't remember which goes where...

    Starter motor compatability

    Well, it seems I was right, the same item is listed with two or more ID numbers, so all's well that ends well.

    Starter motor compatability

    I would like to refresh this old thread, I drive a 2001 Discovery 2 with the 4.0 V8. The starter motor is beginning to do that "stuck pinion whine" - she starts on first turn of the key but that whine... So I looked for a new starter motor, to have on the shelf "just in case". I couldn't find...

    Engine weeping

    Thanks all. I have, since my initial post, been forced to change mechanic. The expert (he certainly is an expert and tunes and builds Rally/Raid Land Rovers) did charge me the price of a new Rolex, but carried ut the jobs listed for the price of a Timex. Diff oils not changed but topped up...

    Engine weeping

    Hello all, I have just bought a 2001 Discovery 2 with the petrol 4.0 V8, 99k miles on the clock. I've nicknamed her "The Camel", she's docile, she's a nice color... and she's THIRSTY! :D She runs nice and smooth and quiet, but little service history so upon purchase I took her to my trusted...

    WHICH Disco...?

    Deep breath... OK, I decided to ditch both candidates. Setting aside all the "ordinary" TD5 Disco2s in my own area, I have found two interesting candidates: - a D2facelift, TD5 with 'auto box, ~60.000 miles, leather etc., looks new; - pre-facelift D2, 3950cc (4.0L) V8 petrol with EFI and 'auto...

    ‘Murican boy joyrides in family’s Range Rover

    Hello all, two things caught my eye: 1. "Angel was speeding his North Phoenix neighborhood, disrupting his neighbors while his parents celebrated their anniversary in Las Vegas." Does this mean they actually left him on his own? One can be pretty responsible at 14, or... 2. "Angel's family...
