    Invalid media DVD Player

    Hi, Have a look at this string - which discusses the same problem in terms of region codes accepted by the player: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/disco2-factory-fit-dvd-player-105044.html If that fails then its probably a faulty laser inside the set, which will need repair (cost around...

    TD5 MOT advice

    Hi - it sounds like the MOT guy is talking about these: D44 Discovery 2 heavy duty turrets There must be some corrosion in the origionals. Disco 2 shocks are different to disco 1 - so I would guess the shock towers will be too. Its an easy replace - have a look at Nicks excellent web...

    roof bars

    Sounds like you are trying to fit something youve paid to have made but you dont like the way its been made. If its `custom made' why not send it back to get it to `custom fit' the way you want?

    First land rover, central locking problem... sorry new to this!!

    Its not my car (I've a TD5) - but while you are waiting for someone to respond it would be worth your going to the search facility at the top of the web page and type in `300tdi central locking'.

    fishsponge's ongoing thread of problems!

    Interesting isnt it. In the UK most garages wont let you watch - health and safety is often quoted. However, in most parts of the world you are a fool if you dont! Indeed in East Africa you usually go to the garage with the car prepared to get dirty and certainly watching whats done. You are...

    D2 TD5 coolant frustration...

    Hmm- you could try a compression test, but I dont think that that will necessarily confirm the head. Are you sure its not leaking from somewhere else? Have a look at: www.discoverytd5.com I had a problem of losing a cup full of water every few days, but when I added `K' leak treatment (cant...

    Dynachip remap

    I've dynachip chip - but I'm very tempted to get a remap... Trouble is if I had 10K to spend I can still think of things I'd want doing to the Landy that i couldnt afford!

    GS, XS, or ES

    All other things being equal - one difference is that the 2004 Landmark model should have diff-lock and any 2003 model probably wont even have it in the transfer box - you'll have to fit the bits in there (an extra £600 and a bit of effort). It depends whether or not diff-lock capability is...

    Why the Disco 1?

    I've noticed too that there are more off-road goodies for the disco 1 - though with the disco 2's price coming down owners may be more willing to `play' with them - so range of disco2 goodies may start to increase
