    Help Needed for a visit

    G'day guys...it seems I will be alighting on your shores all the way from the Aus Outback on or about the middle of April next year, and I was looking for a bit of advice. (yeah yeah.."stay home!" I hear you advise :p) We are looking at a driving holiday south from London to the coast, along...

    Auto box and electrical gremlins..any suggestions?

    Hi Guys...seems that it never rains but it pours. Went to start the D2 V8 beastie Sunday morning after not having driven it on Saturday and the battery was flat. It showed 11.5 v and wouldnt turn the V8 over. I got a jump start so I could take it down to the guy I bought the battery off 7 weeks...

    D2 Sport mode

    I know the Sport Mode selector is supposed to change the revs at which the auto transmission changes, but does it alter the fuel flow through the ECU as well?

    Summer Rain...and women drivers!!!

    We had a bit of a downpour out here in the desert last week, got almost 2 inches in an hour or so and things aren't used to that much water so all the roads flooded. My missus was out at some friends that night and I got a little phone call on her mobile phone saying she went through a bit of...

    Toolbox!!!!!

    Remember some time ago I think it was Yella that put a link to a pink toolbox in ebay and myMissus saw it and wanted one. Well I bought her one for Christmas. (see pic) She tried to put it in the Disco but it rejected it, just like two magnets of the same field..haha. Worrying thing is that I...

    Tyre pressure solution

    Some time back I posted that my S2 V8 was wandering all over the road and I was looking for a solution. I climbed under and over it checking bushes, steering dampers and tie rods. I had just put new tyres on the back and at the same time fitted a UHF radio to the roof console taking the...

    Wandering Minstrel

    I have fitted some new tyres to the back that have a higher ply rating and the pressures are up too, but now it seems that the front end is wandering. Before the new tyres I had Michelins all round with softer sidewalls, I would have thought if it was going to wander it would have done it then...

    New Tyres

    Some of you might remember my recent difficulties with constant punctures; well having staked another @#$%^& Michelin I spat the dummy. I went looking for Michelin A/T 235/60 R 16 tyres and had a heart attack when they were quoting $400 each plus fitting. Looking further I find that they are...

    Smoke & Mirrors...

    Well...more like drinks & mirrors. S2 interior rear vision mirror decided to commit suicide but for the wire on it saving it from certain death and letting it dangle from the windscreen. It looks like it has been fixed before a bit on the cheap. Is there anything to get dried rearvision mirror...

    A little worried---no drive for a few seconds.

    This is a bit long, I apologise... OK..the heading might sound a little weird, but I was passing through a wash away (wadi) today that wasnt too deep or steep, just a little bouncy. It was of such little consequence that I didnt even select low range. I bounced up out of the wadi without any...

    Headlights

    While waiting for my outback landy dealer to get me some headlight protectors, (not done on the local after market) a #@$%^ing stone has gone through my DS headlight and left a hole.. #$%^&*%^&#$%^#$%^&*()(*&^%$ Are the headlights on these things complete or is the glass replaceable? The other...

    Stoopid Question..

    Will 7.50x16 landrover series wheels and tyres fit onto the Disco 2? I thought it might be a better choice for me to have them for when I go away into the scrub that I can bash about and have truck strength sidewalls on these gibber stones and mallee roots that spike tyres with great alacrity...

    Green Laning?

    Ok... for a colonial, I can only guess that green laning is running along the divides between the fields, the old rights of way, but please someone correct me if I am wrong. It sounds like an excellent way to spend a day or three. I would appreciate any pics of you guys up to your gunn'els in...

    Snorkel

    I have ordered my Safari snorkel today... specially given the crap I took out of the filter box after last week's trek looking for an abandoned well. I will be having it fitted by a 4X4 shop when I am in town in about 3 weeks. Surely the LR designers must have known that their vehicles would be...
