    Disco 3, or stick with the Disco 2?

    Are Landys just that well documented we hear about all the issues? Can't be as bad as Toyota as they get on the 6 o'clock news!!!!

    Disco 3, or stick with the Disco 2?

    It is looking possible but I must get £2500 for my td5 for it to be achieved. I think I should get that looking at the price/condition of others around. Wish I could have both, actually making me a bit sad it has to go!

    135k. Had it for 2 years. MOT December. Epson green. Good condition, mark here and there. All oils done, new fan, drop links, arb bushes, discs and pads, snorkel. Great family vehicle.

    Disco 3, or stick with the Disco 2?

    And if all looks good, my D2 needs to be sold for £2500. Very sad to see it go, maybe I can sell it to the Mrs, is that allowed? ?!!!

    Disco 3, or stick with the Disco 2?

    Hi, I may have a chance to upgrade to a Disco 3 for a good price. I am very happy with my D2 and feel happy with it at the minute, but the chance to go up to a 3 is so so tempting. I am just a bit worried about REAL maintenance costs, should I be? Are they more scary than a Disco 2?

    ABS, TC, Downhill Warning Lights

    2 Discovery's definitely warrants having your own gadget. It will surely pay for itself!

    ABS, TC, Downhill Warning Lights

    You could do with a diagnostic to point you in the right direction! £80 at Landrover, probably £30/40 to a bloke down the pub! If you happen to drive past Corby, my plug might slip in your socket if the Mrs ain't looking! !

    Ace system appears to be disconnected

    The non ace bars are thinner than the ace bars. I would attempt to find out why your ace is not working and what happened to the pipe!!

    Which make of tyres?

    Very brief, but a review all the same. And I wouldn't say they are noisy, especially compared to to the rest of a Landrover...

    Which make of tyres?

    I have Hankook Dynapro atm rf10's for the last 2 years and got me where I need to go, and plenty of tread left. Only ever seen 1 other truck with them on and don't know why???????

    Discovery td5 funny banging noise!

    This remained unsolved until recently. I done the front anti roll bar bushes and the links. The banging was then coming from only the back, confirmed as ball joint on a link arm. New bushes and link arms on the rear, now all is well!!!! Used genuine links as heard bad things about aftermarket!

    Galvanised Chassis

    Silly question, how difficult is it to remove the whole body from the chassis and what haz to be done to the new chassis?

    Disco 2 Gearbox Drain Plug

    I used a large 32mm ring spanner and managed to get my trolley jack on the end of it and used the force of that to crack the bolt.
