Just a quick hello,
My name is Daniel and I'm a freight train driver from Harwich, Essex.
I'm interested in getting a "disco" td5 and thought I would join here first to pick your brains and generally get some info on them.
I used to own a defender but now want a bit more comfort but still have good off road ability.
ATB
Daniel, Danny, Dan or whatever else you want call me!

Well, with the ACE system fitted to a Disco 2, some say they corner like they're on rails...

WELCOME!

Haha, learnt something already. Never heard of the ACE system!

Active Corner Enhancement - a popular option - I take it you've searched for it?

Yes mate, I had to! Sounds expensive?

Depends what goes wrong with it
The system has been bypassed on mine: Just a pulley on a bracket instead of the pump and a diagnostic tool has told the Disco's brain (ECU) that it doesn't have ACE. Took me ages to figure out what had been done and why I still had a Landy that did not roll over through a hedge when cornering! The rams default to a locked condition for safety I guess, so it's like having a beefy anti-roll bar.

welcome. The reason I got a discovery was because the ace system had failed. I bought it a converted it to standard anti roll bars using a kit from dls landrover.
