    Disco 2 Heated seats - weird one

    Afternoon all. I've moved over from the RR section as I had to lose my beloved P38. A couple of years with an RR Sport under warranty almost drove me round the bend so I have bought a D2. As I did with the Rangy I've overcome most issues by reading on here before I start but I've come to a dead...

    Fonts

    I'm having real problems with font sizes and density in this new format. I'm viewing this on a 19" screen but am struggling to read a lot of the smaller print. Between it's size and the green colour used I am finding that I am straining and last night developed a headache trying to read a lot of...

    red triangle

    Where has the red triangle gone? How do I now wake up BB? (apart from driving up the M5 carrying a pointed stick) Is it the rather faint 'report' at the bottom of the post?

    Gearbox oil cooler

    2000 DSE automatic I want to change my weeping gearbox cooler pipes and would like to go the whole way and replace the cooler. However I've checked all the usual suppliers and only Island show a make - and that's Britpart :eek: I know that I can get the pipes made up so that's not an issue but...

    sealed calcium batteries leak

    Wasn't sure where to stick this as it's sort relevant to Series, Fenders, Discos and laning so thought this was the best bet. I deal with disabled equipment so with scooters and powerchairs I've spent years handling glass mat and gel batteries. You lot would know these as leisure or traction...

    Bristol to Perth

    New Year is almost upon us so next week end a Rangie will be travelling from Bristol to Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow, then back to Bristol. It'll only be two up so the boot is available. Any use to anyone?

    Early ambient air sensor

    I'm trying to find my ambient air sensor. My HEVAC is randomly showing from +18 to -40 with an occasional cheque book. I reckon it must be either a bad connection or the sensor failing. With a VIN number prior to 381430 and nothing behind the front grill, mine must be the one shown on diagram...

    Total loss of electrics - almost

    2000 P38 diesel auto This morning I jump in the car and turn the key to position two and pause, waiting for the heater plugs to do their thing. The dash all lights up and I hear the brake pump operating. Then, after a couple of seconds the dash lights all die and the brake pump falls silent...

    Bristol to Scotland

    Got a week off so will be heading home to see the family. Probably setting out on Sunday and heading for Perth. Will then be visiting Edinburgh and Glasgow before coming back down on Wednesday or Thursday. P38 two up so a fair bit of space available. Any use to anyone?

    intermittent gearbox fault

    Since I've had my 2000 diesel I've had a weird fault. Coming over the crest of a hill I'd lift off and the engine would cut out and I'd get GEARBOX FAULT on the dash. There is one road locally where I could almost guarantee that it would happen. Since I first posted about this others have...

    door lock, disabling super locking

    I've currently got my driver's door lock on the bench. My intention is to disable the super locking before it causes any issues. As far as I can see the small motor pulls a pawl back to allow the lock to travel further. Firstly is this is correct? Then, if I removes the pins that the motor...

    Starting handle

    At the Bristol & West show today I spotted a classic with a starting handle slot in the front bumper. There was a tunnel under the rad so it looked genuine. Unfortunately the owner couldn't tell me if it was standard and it's now got a diesel lump but he believed that it was originally a V8...

    Decision time

    2000 diesel auto with 110,000 on the clock. Well it's now official, my gearbox has bitten the dust. I lost drive in the middle of nowhere but with a lot of revs and a fair bit of luck it got me home. Now I've got to decide what to do. A refurb from Ashcroft, without any upgrades, but with...

    Refurbing an EAS pump - thank you

    I've just re-furbed an EAS pump for another member on here. It's the seventh of these I've done so I'm getting the hang of it. This, however, is little message to whoever has worked on this pump previously. for loctiting the cover bolts in so that one sheared off as I tried to remove them...

    Mozz

    Haven't seen anything from Mozz for a while. Does anyone know if the old bugger is O.K? I know that his health is not of the best.

    DPF removal - ECU remap?

    I need a new exhaust on my 2000 diesel. Both tail pipes are shot (big holes on top before the back boxes) but I hadn't noticed any excessive noise so I was thinking of losing a few bits and either doing away with the central silencer or those on the tail pipes. Then I thought that I might as...

    Insurance

    Well it's that time of year again. Just got my renewal through - £329.82 They want £381.35 for her Focus and she's got more NCB than me !!!! Total = £711.17 At a quick glance that's actually not bad, it's about £60 less than last year. HOWEVER I stick our details into the SAME...

    wanted ads, out of date

    Any chance someone could tidy up the wanted section. Sirus states that adverts will be removed after 30 days. A good start might be to remove the ads from 2011. :D

    cheap oil + free filter

    I've stuck this in 'anything goes' but I thought I'd repeat it in here for my fellow Rangie owners. Euro Car Parts have got their cheap oil offer on again. Order on line and enter 'WEBOFFER20' as the discount to get 20% off oil and a free filter. I believe they'll even deliver.

    Number of PMs in memory

    I'm not sure if I'm having a senior moment but, I'm sure that I used to have an allocation of 1,000 messages in the Private Message memory. I've just noticed that it now says that I have a limit of 200. Then it tells me that I currently have 223 in there out of my allocation of 200 ! I've...
