    Disco 2 Bonnet mounting spare wheel

    So, the lovely images tab on Google has gone and given me ideas again - damn it!!!! I've seen pictures of Disco's with spare wheels mounted on the bonnet. What's involved in this? I've tried searching old threads and can only find one regarding a Freelander (so not really the same). The issue...

    Disco 2 2" lift kit fitted - but should i stay on airbags or go to springs?

    currently on ebay bidding on an Allisport uprated intercooler to go with my remap - fingers crossed - if that goes in then I can't see any way it's going to struggle to tow anything (no matter how deep the mud is :)) gotta behave after that and stop spending on the Disco for a few weeks - got...

    Disco 2 2" lift kit fitted - but should i stay on airbags or go to springs?

    sounds like it's staying on airbags then - that'll keep the missus happy (as it's one less thing to spend on!)

    Disco 2 2" lift kit fitted - but should i stay on airbags or go to springs?

    that was my preference - my mates concern was the extended height with the spacers and the relatively small key that the bags lock into, he thought this give the potential for the airbag to simply break off the spacer if doing something a little more strenuous off-road. I think he's probably...

    Disco 2 2" lift kit fitted - but should i stay on airbags or go to springs?

    yeah little extension bars that go on to the ride height sensors to extend them. actually quite impressed with the quality of the Terrafirma kit, I looked at a few cheaper versions and they just didn't instill confidence, these seemed to be fairly decent quality and certainly the ride is...

    Disco 2 2" lift kit fitted - but should i stay on airbags or go to springs?

    Yeah, seems to be able to (not that i'm that familiar with the function - the "experienced users only" warning comes up before going in to that section so I've had a look and not messed with anything (yet ;)) - might see what it does. I was hoping it would be a case of all four corners going up...

    Spot light bar advice please

    I'd use a bit of touch-up paint if you've got any. nice bar - I've just fitted similar to my Disco, I found that there's a decent range of LED lights by "Mictuning" but don't buy them from Fleabay as the same oneson Amazon are much cheaper. 6 x 3w cree LEDs in each makes them really good. They...

    Disco 2 2" lift kit fitted - but should i stay on airbags or go to springs?

    Well - project Disco has moved on another step - today it's been treated to a Terrafirma heavy duty 2" lift kit (springs and shocks on the front and shocks, airbag riser blocks and ride height adjusters for the rear). So now it's got the ride height Land Rover SHOULD have made it with (well, in...

    Hi all, I'm looking for an Allard / Allisport / Serck / or similar (not Britpart!) uprated alloy intercooler for my 2004 D2 TD5 manual (15p). I'm also looking for a washer bottle relocation kit - weighed up the options and would prefer to relocate it rather than have to put bottle guard on...

    *CANCELLED* LandyZone 13 - 24th/25th June 2017 - Everything you need to know!

    :( it's sad that the event didn't go ahead - I was very much looking forward to going, meeting all you nutters for the first time and generally having a good weekend, getting the truck all muddy and sampling the much-discussed food and beer (and those cakes that kept being mentioned ...

    *CANCELLED* LandyZone 13 - 24th/25th June 2017 - Everything you need to know!

    Sorry for being a bit late to the table here - had a lot on my plate for the last week of so and not had chance to get on here - absolutely gutted it's had to be cancelled, was really looking forward to my 1st LZ weekend and the chance to get my Disco muddy down some new lanes. Really appreciate...

    Tamworth to Weston-super-Mare (or to Landyzone 13 / Stanford Hall)

    Hi all, Now I know this is probably a big ask (mainly because it's an awkward size) but would anyone be able to collect a roofrack from Tamworth and bring it near Weston-super-Mare / Bristol / or this neck of the woods? Or Alternatively, to collect it from Tamworth and bring it to LZ13 at...

    Disco 2 Uprated rear bumper

    So here's a quick question for everyone that's spent many hours trawling the interweb for these things..... I'm looking to replace the standard bumpers on my 2004 D2 facelift with uprated steel / off road ones. Ok, so this seems simple enough and there's a huge range available (well huge range...

    Query for all you CB radio expert

    That's brilliant, thank you. We'll I guess that's my weekend planned then - systematic check of the whole install until I've found the source and eliminated it (good thing the missus is away this weekend or she'd only find things to distract me!!)

    Query for all you CB radio expert

    I was wondering that myself - I remember the good old days of putting a suppression on my Audioline cassette player (with 3 band graphic equalizer - cos it was a posh one!!) to get rid of the interference when listening to good old Radio 1 on medium wave! Had a quick look on eBay and there seems...

    Query for all you CB radio expert

    The squelch adjustment can cut out the noise. I managed to get a fairly weak signal on the way home this evening (I could hear 1 person talking but not the other, the one I could here was heavily distorted by the static noise and I guess I could understand about 65-75% of what he was saying...

    Query for all you CB radio expert

    it's like a slightly more course / gritty version of normal static white noise and it seems to cut in and out as throttle is depressed rather than slowly fade in (hope that makes sense?) but once it's cut in then it does seem to increase slightly more as the throttle is pressed harder. This is...
