Hi All, Are there any disadvantages to buying an ex Military or ex Utility (HD chassis) vehicle? Are all parts compatible with these chassis types, including fitting ‘standard’ roofs, or are they specials and I’ll struggle?

Hi All, Apologies if this has been posted hundreds of times before, am happy if someone has a link... However, if I bought a project vehicle with a hard top and put windows in it, or a pick up and put a full length roof on, is there any issues in doing so in terms of the DVLA?

Hi All, Does anyone know where I can buy the BA 5068 model? All stockists I can find have it out of stock...

Swapped this out yesterday. For anyone ordering the silicon version from the horsey sounding guys in Matlock, it is worth mentioning it doesn’t come with a spring clip (the original is too small) for the most awkward connection at the bottom. I used a jubilee clip instead, but it is awkward...

Hi All, I’m ordering either a Nanocom or the HawkEye on Tuesday, but would like to know the pros and cons of each if you don’t mind (would be great to hear from SierraFery). I like the look of the Nanocom in terms of ‘usability’, but hands on feedback would be great.

Hi All, The frustration continues... Loss of power (engine revving but little drive) still present. MAF sensor proved to be defective - replaced. MAP sensor - cleaned. Air box temp sensor - cleaned. Engine still sounded lumpy, found a tiny bit of oil in the red plug, but not the ECU...

Having has a few issues, and finding a small amount of oil in the red plug (only), I’m swapping the rail out this weekend. I can’t seem to find any info of people changing the whole harness though, shouldn’t it be done st the same time as the oil will still be in cables/insulation? I understand...

Hi All, I want to inspect the red plug at the ECU but daren’t touch the battery as I don’t have a radio code...! I don’t want to fiddle around too much, but the radio isn’t very user friendly. Can this even be done, or do I definitely need the code, end of?

Evening all. Just been on the road for 15 hours, should have only taken 9! 2 hours in, I started noticing the odd flat spot, then it got progressively and significantly worse. Terrible when going up the box or hill climbing. Ok in top gear, very limited power in 2nd and 3rd. When I got to my...

Evening Gents, Where do you guys go for LR parts? Ideally I’d like to use just 1 supplier, any thoughts...? I’ve just realised I might be breaking some rules? If so, please remove the post, I’m new on here!

What cause some this red light to come on. I can clear it be restarting the engine, and it doesn’t come on so often, but don’t understand why it can come and go, either there is a fault, or there isn’t...?

Is it normal with the engine running, for the ACE fluid to be agitating? Is this just flow and return, or have I got an issue?

Lots of niggles all of a sudden! She wouldn't start or even turn over earlier. I got under and tapped the Starter with a hammer. Then started on the button. Is there anything I can do, or just replace? Battery voltage static and running is fine.

Hi All, D2 TD5 2000 plate. Is it worth swapping out the water pump and stat as a matter of course/preventative maintenance? I know it is a fairly big job given there isn't an immediate fault, but I need to invest some time and money into the old girl to breathe a bit of life into her.

Hi All, SOS time again please, the Wife is waiting to be recovered... again. She is doing some miles across to Manchester from Sheffield on a weekly basis and has said (didn’t tell me until now) that when on the motorway, she loses all power, the engine revs like mad, then when the revs fall...

Hi All, I have recently had air suspension issues that I don’t really want to have again. In terms of prevention/monitoring, has anyone fitted some kind of indication, gauge, ammeter etc to see when the compressor is running, but critically, to see that it is running when it shouldn’t be! Is...

When I set off in ORM, the Sports Mode light was flashing with an ‘M inside a gear light’ (Manual?). The D indicator on the speedo was also flashing, I haven’t seen these before. I took it out of ORM but could only get rid of the lights by restarting the engine. I might be being paranoid, but...

Hi All, The centre Bush has failed and I get knocking from it. What are the general views on replacements... OEM? Genuine parts? Polybush? I use the Disco mainly for towing a horse box. With that in mind, does anyone have advice on replacement shocks? It has air springs.

Hi All, First post so please be gentle! We have had our D2 for a while and are thrilled with it, predominately bought for towing a horse box. Unfortunately, it came home on Sunday on the back of a transporter after the nearside suspension sagged and the Boss (Wife) could smell a burning...
