Hi,
I have just had a bout of madness and bought a 52 plate Discovery xs which is in pretty good nick apart from some central locking gremlins and the intermittent appearance of the 3 amigos.
Thankfully I have access to a Nanocom.
I have previously owned a P38 Rangie so am no novice when it comes to the intricacies of bad electronics but its good to know there is such a huge brains trust when it comes to the quirks of Discovery 2s.
I am sure that I will need the forum for different technological queries and will also try to help out with other's queries as I learn.
I live near Cambridge and was wondering ir there is a local contingent that does the occasional green lane?
Thanks
Curly

Hi and welcome
You owned a p38 and came back for more!? You'll fit right in!!

It was pretty reliable as far as P38s go it was only towed home 4 times in the 12 months I had it.

How many times did you drive it during those 12 months?

I actually did just short of 60k miles in the 12 months I had it. I was driving up and down the country as a regional manager.

Thats not bad for that sort of mileage, what were the reasons for the recovery.

Welcome fellow Disco 2 owner.
Always keep the battery charged up. That will solve half of your electrical problems.
