    Disco 2 Boot tray/mat/liner, genuine LR, semi-rigid plastic

    Hi Folks. Don't need the boot tray for my Disco so it's yours for a small fee, because it will have to be collected from north Norfolk - cannot be folded because it's rigid and I don't have a box big enough to take it! Apparently these are about £145 new, so shall we say £50 ono? PM me. Being...

    Three bongs *six* 'amigos' - any ideas?

    Well, in the end JSF took a look at it and it's just as well, because I would never have found the fault, which was a corroded connector at the SLABS ECU. That's been re-made so touch wood that will be the last I see of the six amigos. I was pleased that JSF were able to fix what was a...

    Oil pressure warning light on - Bernie, the bolt, please?

    Ok, you need to be as old as me at least to remember Bob Monkhouse and the Golden Shot and that catchphrase. In this case I am applying it to my sodding Disco just as I re-started it after walking the dog this pm. Warning light came on, so mindful of dire consequences of a lubrication...

    Three bongs *six* 'amigos' - any ideas?

    Just been to JSF 4x4 in Norwich to hitch the car up to their Autologic box of tricks. Came straight back with a SLABS ECU earth fault. Quick check of the earthing points in the engine bay was negative (if you'll pardon the pun) so back on Wednesday to have a gander behind the glove compartment...

    Three bongs *six* 'amigos' - any ideas?

    Wow - it's amazing how much you have had to spend not to be able to arrive at a cure. I suppose this is why people like Honest John refer to LR's 'shockingly bad build quality' on the Disco 2 and yet those of us who own them still love them regardless of this and what they have and continue to...

    Three bongs *six* 'amigos' - any ideas?

    Well, that is most interesting - thanks for the input, even if it's a tad depressing! Previous owner loved his Disco to death and spent a fortune on preventative maintenance and I have the bills to prove it. He even did the workaround to cure the classic 'three amigos' even though he'd never...

    Three bongs *six* 'amigos' - any ideas?

    OK, here is a mystery. Originally I thought this was a derivative of the classic THREE amigos problem, but actually it was a SIX amigos problem - see photo of instrument binnacle, above. I've just driven 700 miles in the last three days with these lights coming on, after three bongs...

    Reborn Disco TD5 owner saying hello again!

    Hi Folks from the wilds of north Norfolk. Just acquired a 2000 Disco TD5 ES with everything possible done to it, I think - TD5 alive stage 2 tune-up, anything that could go wrong replaced and then some, General Grabber AT2s, new Sony Bluetooth stereo that works with the steering controls. I'm...

    Mysterious steering wheel wobble under braking

    Ok, thanks - I will ask the LR specialist here to take a look at that option.

    Mysterious steering wheel wobble under braking

    Well, this is a strange one. In August 08 the front discs were replaced as there was pulsing coming back through the brake pedal and steering wheel wobble when braking. That solved the problem. I've done less than 5k miles since then and was careful to bed the discs and pads in. Recently, a...

    Hello from me and my Disco II 'Money Pit'

    Thanks folks - appreciated. Deepender = Defender? Nice rear view btw, Dirty Gertie, but then I expect you knew that already!

    Hello from me and my Disco II 'Money Pit'

    Greetings to all Disco owners. Mine is a TD5 XS auto registered May 2001 - yes, just two months too young to avoid the new punitive VED bands, as I discovered just weeks after buying it. Since I bought my Disco in March 2001 (from a bandit who was knocking out dodgy BMWs and probably saw me...
