I've had mine 2 years and I still love it, does everything I want too and simple to maintain

I've got a little gripe with mine (first of many I'm sure) the central locking seems a bit dim witted. When I press the button, either first or second time for full unlock, the mechanisms seem to take half a second to decide that they are locks and need to open. Any ideas? Solenoid? Actuators? Asked my brother in law who has a d2 too and his works straight away. Works fast and fine from the bottom on the dash of this is any more info?

Yeah mine has always been the same press once and it will only unlock the drivers door, press twice and it will unlock all the other days and takes a about a second or so to actually unlock the other doors, third press and it unlocks the boot, but they always do unlock and I just take it for granted that mine is 18years old now so things will take abit of time

Yeah when I was 18 I took an age to do anything too, feel like I'm interrupting it sometimes and I'm rudely making it unlock my doors for me

I don't mind it, it's just the Land Rover character to me which makes it for special for me my girlfriend moans at it and she won't drive it but it's a lot more fun than a her mini

Yeah they certainly do have character. I've missed that in a car. I love it to bits

Just a need a few bits to mine to make it more unique as it looks to standard at the moment
good to hear ur happy with urs
i also went from a freelander to the disco, , alas couldnt find a decent D2 , seeing the chassis issue
but then this project D3 came up, have realised of the hard work i've had to do to get it to a decent standard
but love the discos , along with the massive amounts of room and being able to eat the motorway miles in comfort, also knowing when going off road it has half decent capability
can't see any other model covering everything that i want a vehicle to do

welcome to the asylum!
My D2 can be a complete pain at times but i wouldnt get rid if it (except maybe for a D4!). My biggest niggle is that, like most big 4x4s, it should really have a 6th gear.
yes things go wrong but theyre normally straightforward to fix.... and adding stuff is easy. and its a joy to drive! 90 miles today on a mix of motorways and winding devon roads, and it just ate the miles up

couldn't agree more, but seems without a decent diagnostic reader ur onto a losing battle, due to its complex electronics the days of easy fixes i feel are over ,
annoys me sometimes , in how much u have to take off to get to the final replacement of a part , but at the end of the day it's a land rover after all , wouldn't change it for the world

I agree matt, I want to separate mine from the man down the road and make it my own

I second that penguin....needs a 6th gear
was really surprised to find out mine had the 6th gear , assume land rover have listened and upgraded it between the d2- and d3

I keep debating whether to change a to manual, I can get all parts from work but obviously pros and cons to an auto
