    Disco TD5 Auto 2001

    Agree about the rattle - it was even worse in my freelander but still happens on my TD5.. sounds worrying but it's the ABS pump priming or something. Best way to reassure yourself is to put HDC on and drive down a dirty big hill.. you'll recognise the noise then. "Yes, it is supposed to sound...

    Don't forget chaps - Noisy is normal (on full whack) ... The additional hum/buzz/vibration is a new sound! :rolleyes:

    Vertical Take Off Mode

    Good god! :eek: Hope that's not it!! Interesting that you say there are two fans.. The 'extra' buzzing/humming noise is present for both cold and hot air, even on both ECON and AUTO modes. Which is now making me think that it might be a foreign body of some kind in one of the duct pipes? I...

    Vertical Take Off Mode

    Cb + Dii

    Can't show you my CB, but I can send you a picture of my Yaesu 7800 Dual Band amateur radio!! Faceplate can be separated from the head unit which makes for a nice neat fit in the centre console. Main unit under the dash, and external speaker under the seat. :)

    BBC News in 'non gas-guzzler tagline' shock

    I can't believe it but it's finally happened, The BBC manage to publish a picture of not only 4x4s, but Land Rovers, WITHOUT using the term 'gas guzzler' on the same page. :eek: BBC NEWS | In pictures: When the ship comes in, Off-road ..And what's that? Description of "soft peaty terrain"...

    OTT Adventures - Anglesey

    Anyone got any experience of this place? Read a post on another forum from over a year ago that said the owner didn't have the place rigged up to well for 4x4 playing but was getting it sorted.. Website shows it at about £35 for a couple of days playing, which sounds tempting. Can't dig out...

    Are tax discs printed on recycled paper? If you're buying a Band G disc I reckon you should get it on high quality non-recycled heavy weight bleached unecofriendly paper for the money. :eek: :D :eek:

    TD5 Air Con Control buttons

    Stupid/obvious comment time.. Are you absolutely sure they light up?? At work at the moment so can't check but I recall reading an article about the Series II Disco and its ergonomics and it mentioned that it was silly to have the four big buttons all the same shape, size and not illuminated...
