    Rear Audio Controls (Series II TD5)

    Howdy again. Not having kids, I haven't ever really sat in the back of my Disco and tried the rear audio controls. Until today (Yes, I was really that bored) And they didn't work! I plugged in some headphones, and nothing happened. Neither of the units seem to work! A bit of googling...

    Tyre pressure solution

    Following the advice on this forum (regarding fuel consumption), I have increased my squidgy tyres to 36psi front, 40psi rear. I thing mpg has now increased, but by god it's a harsh ride now onroad. :eek: Might back 'em off to 36 at the back to match the front as a compromise. My...

    Ignition Key Sticking in Barrel!!!!

    Thanks - I was really battling with it and then one day I realised that I hadn't noticed it for ages - But when I think about it it gets stuck! When I do it subconsiously it's okay! Stick with it, you'll get the knack.

    Ignition Key Sticking in Barrel!!!!

    Mine's a bit stiff too (oo-er missus :rolleyes: ) and when I first got the vehicle I had problems sometimes getting the key in at all, but I find it's second nature now after a month and I just seem to have found the 'knack' - Goes in no problems now. I know that's not a very prectical answer...

    Sunroof Blinds

    Hmmmm... Weird, I can't find some anywhere for you on the 'net.... I can only find them for models up to March 1994? Click here They must have changed the trim. I have to admit, on mine, they look very "fitted" into the headlining - not sure how destructive you'd have to be to retro-fit them...

    Coolant Top-Up

    I admit this is a bit of a stupid question, so apologies in advance. I noticed my TD5 coolant header tank is only about quarter-full in relation to the min/max markings and so I want to top it up. I have some OAT coolant pre-mixed with water in a 50/50 mix (I used to carry a lot round for my...

    Scotland - No Public Access?

    Despite much searching, the only advice I can find regarding the question legal access / legal routes in Scotland is: Driving a vehicle off road Environmental Protection Act 1990 (Section 87) It is an offence to drive a motor vehicle without lawful authority on: • land of any description (not...

    Harman Kardon Stereo - Adjusting Settings?

    Right - Think I may have been looking to solve a problem that isn't there... There is sound coming out of the rear door speaker but it's just bass.. I though it would be really punchy, like a bass tube, but I think it's just my expectations, and in fact it's just more of a frequency thing to...

    Harman Kardon Stereo - Adjusting Settings?

    Hi - and thanks...! It's not an aftermarket one, it's the "Premium" stero I believe. A bit more searching seems to show that it might actually be an "Alpine" unit not Harman Kardon... The one I've got is the one explained in the 'Premium' section of this page...

    Harman Kardon Stereo - Adjusting Settings?

    Hiya, I've got one of these 11-speaker (or is it 12?) jobbies in my TD5 and it sounds lovely, but there's hardly any bass. I've adjusted bass up to +9 in the settings (button with the musical note on it) but it doesn't seem to help too much. Then I realised that there's nothing coming out of...

    Freelander Gone.. (But a positive thread!)

    Well, it's gone.... Entered the world of 4x4 via a 1.8 1998 Freelander 50th Anniversary 5dr almost exactly a year ago. The bug stayed, and actually got worse :rolleyes:, and so this weekend I picked up a 2000 TD5 Disco II Adventurer. I've started browsing the Disco forums now too :eek...
