Anyone have experience of these am thinking of getting a set to cope with the mud and potentially snow whilst still being usable all year?

I live in East Sussex, and at Scaynes hill the Road just past the Sloop has flooded and is around 12" deep. Now my daughter rode through it on her horse, and I took the Disco up there to have a look. First car made it but sadly the lady in the BMW didnt! Being the decent type I offered to tow...

Mazda MX5 Mk2 1.8, dark metallic blue/ bark blue mohair hood/cream leather seats. Must be one of the best around, no known faults, drives as you would expect. - 68k miles - MOT till next March, no advisories - Fitted stainless exhaust, KN induction kit - New alloys with brand new set of...

OK following on from my other thread the Disco is now immobilised, the key will not work the central locking or disarm the immobiliser. Luckily its on my drive and not needed immediately. Its forecast warm and dry and my experience to date has been that once its bone dry it will work again. I...

My remote unlocking and more importantly alarm/immobilser is becoming less reliable and appears to be adversely affected by the wet weather. Looks like its time to drop the roof lining and replace the remote receiver, so a couple of questions: - How long is it likely to take me to get...

Sorry if it's a daft question but I have vibration which results in body boom at about 55 mph plus such that it is my practical maximum speed. Front and rear propshafts have been refurbished and there is no evidence of excessive vibration through the gear lever or transfer box lever. (which I...

Well the standard battery is an 072 which is around 550CCA and 68 AH which does seem a bit marginal for the TD5 lump, albeit mine hasnt been a problem as I keep it on trickle charge in the cold weather. In looking for a replacement the 019 seemed good at 830CCA and 95AH but whilst it would fit...

I tow a horse trailer with one or two horses weighing a max of 2500kg with my TD5 manual. Even on inclines I pull away OK in high ratio, but I have been told that starting inlow range is easier on the clutch and transmission.(makes sense) So can I pull away in low range then switch to high (at...

We have a TD5 Manual, with 145k miles, which does us nicely for our purpose which is towing a trailer with 1 or 2 horses, and getting us to and from the stables in poor weather. We dont want two sunroofs, front and rear climate control, heated seats or any of the other superflous stuff that is...

Has anyone else experienced better performance when the air is cold? Took mine out for first time in 3 weeks and it was absolutely flying. Have also found it's a bit sluggish when the air is really hot (well OK that is with 2 tons of horse and trailer on the back!)

Have topped up the oil but to no avail, it looks virtually new so I am guessing it needs air bleeding out of it, any ideas?

comprising taps, insertion tools and inserts: 1/4" 5/16" 3/8" 7/16" 1/2" All brand new and boxed I think there are 10 of each insert apart from 1 that was used to repair a mini cylinder head. Looking for £50, am in East Sussex, and can be contacted on 07830 959666 or of course on...

Not nearly 3ft!!!!!!! Taken from the BBC news site, its embarassing enough in a normal car but in a Landy?

Hi I am looking to get a reversing camera for our Disco 2 to help with parking but also to help backing onto our horse trailer as its twin axle and a swine to move! I am also looking to put a camera in the horse trailer so we can keep an eye on the horses whilst towing. There are loads on...

First bit of towing today, bought a an Ifir Williams 505 horse trailer and brought it back no problems - except the brake lights on the trailer wernt working and the 4x4 with a cross in the middle warning light was coming on with the brakes. When I got home I realised the brake lights on the...

If I disconnect the battery on my Disco 2 will it screw up the alarm/immobilisor and will it need to be reset? If this is the case will I be better keeping a 12v supply on at all times to avoid any issues?

Have checked the fuse, and also the switch. Pressing the button activates the wiper as it should, but there is no sound from the pump. Is the rear wash an MOT requirement? and how do I get to the pump, Haynes book of lies says remove the bumper, is there not an easier way???? I also have the...

I noticed "some corrosion" on both the side steps fitted to our Disco 2, so today set about repairing the drivers side one. As ever "the battle of the bolts" ensued, even after a good soaking in penetrating oil, and the 4 bolts holding the step on took quite a while to get out. Once the step...

Per title really. Disco 2 is now running well after a pretty big spend so no its onto maintaining its condition (if it ever stops raining) Plan A was to paint the chassis with zinc primer followed by a coat of hammerite smooth This will be fairly laborious and far from cheap so I am...
