The Auto's do take a while to warm up before they will go into top. If it's doing it all the time even when warm then there's a problem.

Hi, Sold that Disco quite some time back, so haven't got any pics. I then bought a 53 Plate TD5 Xs which I bought an additional set of 16" Rims and put a set of GG AT2's on those and kept the 18" wilth road tyres for the summer. The 16" Rims made the Disco a bit more comfortable on the road...

Hi Will, Congratulations on your new purchase. I'm afraid 22-24 is probably what you will get with a TD5 Auto, best thing I did was go to Gary at TD5 Alive for his Stage 1 Remap, totally transformed the Disco and I also get 1-2 MPG more. Highly recommended and no I'm not on commision.!!! :(...

Hi All, I currently have a 53 Plate TD5 XS Disco 2with 18 inch Hurricane wheels and 255/55/18 Tyres. For Winter I have from a previous car a virtually brand new set of 245/70/16 General Grabber AT2 Tyres and have purchased a set of 2nd hand Disco 2 16 inch Alloy wheels. My question is will...

Hi All, Currently I am fortunate that my sunroofs don't leak and I'd like to keep them that way. Just wondered if any of you use anything on your sunroof seal rubbers to keep them in good condition. I'm sure years ago I used to use a Silicon spray of some discription on an old convertible...

Hi All, I have a 53 plate TD5 XS, anyone know if it is possible to turn the passenger airbag off. Ideally want a rear facing child seat to go on the front seat but according to the manual it doesn't look like you can turn it off. Is removing the fuse a possibility or will that also disable...

LOL... Sounds like you've been on the recieving end of that one BM.!! Just hope the front "Protection" Bar doesn't make life any more difficult.!! Why they call it Protection Bar when it's made of rubber is a mystery to me, only thing it will protect is what you hit.!! :rolleyes:

Yikes, Cheers Matt, Great design that then!! Anyone Upgraded the bulbs in their lights, if so what did you use and did they make much difference. Cheers Wayne

Hi All, Just noticed that one of my Dipped Beam Bulbs has blown. I take it by a quick look you have to remove the Headlight to replace? If so anyone got any tricks/advice or things I should watch out for? Also has anyone put uprated bulbs in their lights, either Side, Dipped or Main...

Hi WB, 22-23 is about what you can expect on average. Maybe 25+ on a run. I recently got a TD5Alive remap on my 2003 TD5 Auto, made no end of difference to the driving experience and increased the MPG by 1-2 mpg overall. Would have thought your JE upgrade should have done the same. Like...

Hi Nipper, I recently purchased a 2003 TD5 from a local LR Dealer, when I looked at the car it too had faded arches, I spoke with the salesman about it and he said he would get them sprayed with a plastic coating, not sure exactly what this is but may be worth giving your local dealer or...

Can anyone else give any advise please?

Hi, The JE Engineering is a re-map not a chip.

Hi All, I have a 53 Plate Disco TD5 Auto which I was going to try and take to Gary at TD5Alive the next time I am up north. My problem is that I have just seen that in June JE Engineering are doing HALF PRICE Stage 1 upgrades and I happen to be near them early next month for a meeting...

RB, I've got a Disco 3 HSE at present as a courtesy car, had it a week, it's an HSE Auto and I think it's a lovely car to drive. I'm not sure to be honest about the problems you may encounter later in it's life but I must admit I wouldn't want to drive the Manual after driving the Auto...

CharlesY, Yep Auto TD5 is nearly 2 secs slower to 60 than the Manual doesn't sound much but on the road it does make quite a difference, even though all the gear changing is done for you. Don't want to start blanking things off as it's got a Years warranty on it, just putting the feelers out...

CharlesY, I do understand where your coming from, only as you say your Manual one is Gutless, well you ought to try the Auto, it's ever slower than the Manual, exits out of Junctions and Slips roads can be quite a leap of faith. I would just like to make it a bit more responsive and...

Cheers DB, Anyone else got any experience of any of these.

You wouldn't surprise me. I'm sure they do a lot of these to deliberatley make 4x4's look bad in the public eye.

Cheers Guy's, Land Rover left a message Fridat to say they'd sealed it and it was going in for "Water Soak Testing".. Guess what.... They found another leak :rolleyes: Still at least I'm putting miles on their Disco 3 and not my TD5 and it does more to the gallon.
