Bought a D2 V8 ES last week and on the test drive noticed a ticking sound on acceleration (not there on idle). The dealer said it was normal for a Disco V8. Any person purporting to be a professional and representing themselves as such is bound in law to provide a level of service...

I typed Nanocom into Google and it came up with past posts from various Land Rover sites. I have to say a lot of them were rather critical of the Nanocom in that insufficient information is supplied in relation to many of the fault codes; it appears that Rovacom offers much more in this respect...

Nice one, I did not know there was anyone in Pool. It is only five minutes from me. I will give them a call. Am I likely to be damaging anything by continuing to drive it? Wife has to go to hospital in it every day. Did you see the Nanocom on ebay recently? I think it went for about £220.00...

Hi, it is constant amber. I have read the three amigos post but this problem only relates to the hill descent control. I have no way of checking fault codes, do we have a register of members who own Nanocom or similar software. Thanks,Will :).

Now I am worried, my intermittent hill descent warning light is now on constantly. I have never used it and can't understand why it would come on - any thoughts anyone :confused:. Will.

You have not seen my wife :eek::eek: - 4ft 11 with a black belt in being a nasty ba%ta%d .:violent: Trust me - it is best all round if I just do the grouting, and the tiling and the floor :(

Can't do this weekend - I'm grouting :(:(.

:welcome2: You have made the right decision, now sit back and spend - no sorry! I meant enjoy:D

You're on, I'm up for that :). Just let me know where and when. Sound's like a good day out :D.

Hi folks, before anyone asks - yes I have searched and read the three amigos tale but this fault relates only to my hill descent light. It came on tonight for the first time for no apparent reason and stayed on for about five minutes - 1 mile. I restarted the vehicle when I got home and all was...

Thank you chaps, traction control - that makes sense. I was wondering why earlier discos had diff lock and the TD5 did not. To be honest - I have never taken a four wheel drive off road yet and probably wont be unless anyone knows of a " soft roading" area any where near Leeds / Bradford /...

Can anyone tell me what a centre differential lock is, where it is and how / why you would use it? I have a 1999 td5 discovery, is this likely to have one? Thanks,Will.

Hi folks, can anyone advise whether lifting my 1999 TD5 Discovery with air and ACE would present any problems? Is it essential to alter brake lines at the same time or is their enough free slack? Other than air suspension bag spacers, front springs and front /rear shocks - what else do I need...

Hi folks, can anyone advise whether lifting my 1999 TD5 Discovery with air and ACE would present any problems? Is it essential to alter brake lines at the same time or is their enough free slack? Is their anything else which needs to be altered / extended? Thanks,Will :)

Do not be influenced by road tests / reviews, they will only make you anxious about purchasing the vehicle you have obviously already set your heart on. They are compiled in such a way as to include and account for myriad faults attributable to a particular vehicle; some or none of which...

Hi Folks, can anyone advise whether it is possible / adviseable to fit a 2" lift kit on a 1999 TD5 Discovery with air and ACE ? Also if anyone has done it - an idea of the parts / cost would be nice. Cheers,Will :).

Excellent post and very well put. I am afraid I may be looking at the same job very shortly. I am losing a pint of water per wek but she starts, runs and warms up fine at the moment :confused:

Thanks Nigel, thats tomorrow taken care of then :)

Hi Nigel, thanks for the response. When you say the long bits are you referring to the longer of the two hexagonal bolts? Cheers,Will :)
