    Trick way to install satnav

    I think a TT One is small, but not sure how small?? Will it fit in the ashtray or coin holders? Then they can slide out and it's in there, plugged in and facing upwards? I know it's a bit out of line of sight, but I rely on the voice more than the screen instructions. Or somehow attach to the...

    +10mm Tyre Profile?

    That's a fair point! We checked the handbook (never thought of doing that in the first place) and it indeed does state that it should have 65's on. Ordering a set of five lovely Colway ATs tomorrow, £188 delivered! Bargain. Thanks for all the help guys :o

    +10mm Tyre Profile?

    It was fine when I sold it to him to buy my Discovery, honest!! :rolleyes: He broke the IRD doing the Old Coach Road with me in the Lakes. Last november, I took a workmate out in his TD4 to do a route in Bala that was published in Land Rover World. I was in my Disco. He did over...

    +10mm Tyre Profile?

    So the tyres he's got on now then are actually the wrong size?? Classic! He'll be made up to be able to order some Colway ATs based on this info. Many thanks guys! James :)

    2000 TD4 ES wing mirrors retract!

    I had my old freelander for 8 months before I found a CD multichanger under the seat one day.... :eek:

    +10mm Tyre Profile?

    Howdy all, My dad's freelander (which he bought off me :D ) is fitted with 215/55 R16 tyres that need replacing. I've just bought 5 new Colway ATs for my Disco which I am VERY happy with, especially with the price! Unfortunately though, they don't seem to make tyres in my Dad's size, the...

    Facelifting my Discovery...... Help please

    Purely personal taste I know, but I think later TD5 headlights can look a bit 'too big' when they're grafted into a series 1. Look a bit out of scale with the rest of the front of the car. Series IIs are quite surprisingly bigger than a series 1. I believe that the only shared body panel is the...

    Finally upgraded to a TD5!

    You've got a nice one there! Glad you're happy with it! I've got exactly the same vehicle (an Adventurer) in 'kent green' although mine hasn't had the headlight upgrade/facelift. But i think I prefer the colour of yours! :D I'm not too bothered about the headlight facelift as I knida...

    Colway ATs - Help!

    Arrgghhh!! I'm going bonkers trying to get hold of a supplier/fitter of Colway ATs anywhere near Chester or the Wirral.. Can anyone help? I'd rather drive in and wait whilst they fit/balance the five rather than get 'em posted and have to get someone else to fit 'em Anyone know where I can...

    Disco 2, 3rd row seats

    I have to give mine quite a forceful 'clunk' into the floor (ie: Actually give 'em a shove, not just let them drop under their own weight) for them to lock in and therefore release the backs. If you just let them drop, they do click, and you think they're in (you would still need to twist the...

    R990 Autochanger problem

    I had this happen, just once so far and completely out of the blue. Ejected/reinserted the cassette loads of times, it still wouldn't detect any of the discs. Only things that cured it was to change the order of the discs in the cassette! Maybe that was just coincidence, but keep trying, it...

    Rear Audio Controls (Series II TD5)

    It's good - but not as bassy as I thought it might be, considering it's got an extra subwoofer..? I've had that CD problem once, thought that it had died as it just wouldn't recognise/acknowledge any of the discs! Only way I got it to detect them was to shuffle them around (the order) in the...

    Rear Audio Controls (Series II TD5)

    I think (but could be wrong) that you get them when you have the Harmon Kardon stereo upgrade (Which I have). More info here Gingerbread men, eh! Who'd have thought it. :rolleyes:

    ABS lights

    Many thanks for the helpful replies! Eightinavee, I guess you will be right, it's just that I didn't get that convinced by the dealership when they just said "Oh, faulty sensor, needs replacing.. £320 thank you". They couldn't elaborate on their thoughts behind it or even tell me which wheel...

    ABS lights

    Glad that seems to have worked for you Martin - Good luck! :) I am in two minds. They have identified the sensor via testbook, but in my opinion this is just the thing at the time (for me) that sent a glitch/blip/crackle that upset what is an obviously over-sensitive system. I spent hours...

    ABS lights

    Squirral - Did you ever get any final solution to ABS/HDC/TC lights coming on? Mine did it for the first time yesterday, just had a quote from Land Rover to fit a new ABS wheel sensor - £329 fitted :eek: Part direct from LR is only £60!!! :rolleyes: Not sure if you got anything...

    Tyre pressure solution

    Great explanation, understand what you're saying! I agree, if it reduces my monthly fuel bill, I can deal with 1k less mileage on the tyres! Cheers James

    Rear Audio Controls (Series II TD5)

    Had a brainwave 5 mins after writing this (yes, I'm still that bored) ..Try it with the ignition on - hmmm there's a clever idea Yes, it works... :rolleyes: So, there you go, if you want to use the rear audio, the ignition needs to be at least position 1. Thankyou and goodnight....
