    Manual shift on auto

    Does anyone know of a way to add a manual shift to the D2 Auto. I’ve had it on my FL1 and BMW X3, very handy thing, is it possible with the D2s auto box? Paul

    Plastic panels on FL1 sport

    So got myself a 2004 Sport, lovely truck. But I’ll confess, I’ve never seen the black plastic door panels before and can’t find anything on the interwebs. Any Hippo experts know anything about them? paul

    D2 vs FL2

    I currently have a D2 that is getting to the point were it’s never out of the garage, one thing then another and it’s ****ing the wife off. Now before she tells me to buy a car (shiver), I may have pursued her that a FL2 might do the job. I do Greenlaning, nothing too muddy, so would like a...

    M52B28 auto into Defender

    I’m starting to get the itch again. I need a Defender. I love my Disco 2, it’s a great family truck and Greenlaner. But I have always loved the Defender and miss my last one. I had to sell it because I need an auto. So an auto Defender, not a new thing with the 300tdi, TD5 and V8 autos. But I’d...

    Disco 2 The dreaded tyre size question, but with an extra question.

    So I’ve done a 2” lift. I want to fit bigger tyres. Considering either 265 60 18 ATs. or 265 65 18 ATs. Ive heard 265 65 18s can rub. Where? And how much would I need to cut away? Anyone got any pics of cut arches. Minimum cutting. Or would it be better to fit 265 60 18s? As I want the minimum...

    Disco 2 ECU waterproofing

    I’m sure this has been covered before, but I wanted upto date info. I’m fitting a snorkel at some point, but what’s the point if my ECU isn’t waterproof. So what have people done to waterproof their ECUs. As I understand it I can’t move it, I have an auto and from what I’ve heard the relocation...

    D2 Adeventures

    I don’t know if this is allowed, delete if not. But I have started a small Greenlaning group based mainly in Yorkshire, but we have a guy in Derby. It’s not entirely a LR group, we have my Disco 2, a FL1 and two new Jimnys. So far. But I have started a YouTube channel to record my D2s...

    Disco 2 Colour matching

    Has anyone colour matched the black plastic bits of their D2 facelift, ie Bumpers, Wing mirrors, wheel arches and grille? Pics would be nice. also I understand there’s a Range Rover grille that fits. Is it easy to fit and do you have pics? Paul

    Disco 1 Disco 1 wheel and tire options.

    I’m doing a bit of speculating for a future project. I have a vision of a Disco 1 V8, completely standard on the outside, including standard bumpers, but with wheel arch extensions if needed. So what size alloys and AT tires could I fit, not going any higher than a 2 inch lift. I like the idea...

    Disco 2 Off road capable phone holder

    So, I bought a magnetic phone thingy yesterday, the same as I put in the wife BMW. Problem is, it's fine on.road, but the slightest bump and the phone falls off. What holders are people using? Preferably not a windscreen one, too far away. Paul

    Next question

    My D2 is currently fitted with 255 55 R18 SUV tires, some ****ty brand I've never heard of. So I want a chunkier, fill the arches better, more capable A/T tire, that won't mess up my speedo/tacho/Odo. Let the opinions commence. Paul

    High mileage F2

    I'm looking at buying an F2. I'm limited to £4k. At that price, there are some nice ones, but they are all between 130k and 150k. Is that too hight to risk buying? Paul

    L O F clutch pedal assist

    Just had a L O F clutches clutch pedal assist kit fitted to my 200tdi Ninety. Wow, what a difference. Feels like I'm driving a well maintained normal petrol car. Hell of a difference. Lol, no I'm not being paid by them to advertise, just thought people with knackered left knees would like to know.
