    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    I'll keep an eye out - but just in case I miss it, if you wanted to put one to one side for me then i'm sure we can find these beers that are apparently gonna be on tap and talk over the price!! ;)

    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    Any news on whether you've decided to make some of these for sale Ryno? Was wondering if you're gonna have any with you if we make it to Landyzone 13 and how much you gonna want for one (me and the missus are hoping to make it there)? Cheers.

    Discovery 2 v8 breaking Parts available!

    don't suppose you've got a drivers side powerfold mirror (that works properly in all directions and folds properly - I know, that bits the big ask!)? If so, how much if I collect?

    Landy zone 13!!

    ok, so put us down as a 'maybe' on the list - will have to check we can both get that weekend off work and get a sitter for kids as they a) aren't really interested, b) will go into complete meltdown when they realise there's going to me no TV and no wifi, and also someone to have the dog as a)...

    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    Completely agree - so i'm controlling the urges and hoping this is going to pass in a few days! More importantly though, having the power on tap when I do need it makes a huge difference. It should also make a massive difference to towing with it - we tow an 18' caravan several times a year and...

    Landy zone 13!!

    So is this weekend open to all? Have you got room for a newbie (and the missus if I can convince her to come along to make the tea) if we can manage to get a weekend away? Would be nice to put faces to some of the names, and to get Disco a little mud to play in - you'll have to be gentle with...

    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    Quick update - i'm ignoring the T/C issue and it's getting no worse (so presumably ignoring it is the best course of action!! o_O??) So went and had Alive Tuning do the remap for me - via local agent, Rowan at RDT Tuning (in case anyone in South West wants the details just check look him up on...

    Disco 2 Wanted - Mantec Load Lugga rear shelf for Disco 2

    Ok, found it now. Any idea if I can move this post, or do I just repost it there as well?

    Disco 2 Wanted - Mantec Load Lugga rear shelf for Disco 2

    Hi All, Apologies this is in the wrong section but it seems that, as i'm still new to the site, I've not written enough posts yet to be able to post in the for sale and wanted section. Hope this is therefore ok? Anyway, i'm looking for a Mantec Load Lugga rear shelf for a Disco 2 - this is the...

    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    It definitely feels like it's coming on more often than it should. Had the remap done (gotta say it's made a huge difference - wanted a good all round drive and not just ridiculous power, now it drives really well with lots more power & torque and much less turbo lag), during the job it had a...

    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    Forgot to add - I've checked all the paperwork and I feel I may well have bought a very rare "well maintained" example as I've not only got the EKA code but also the key code and radio code printed on the original little card which is neatly stapled inside the back cover of the service book...

    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    hahaha, last time I tried that one I got very abruptly told "you NEED to stop spending so bloody much on that damn car!!". Sometimes it's easier to keep the peace and have a few weeks in between spends - that way it gives her chance to find something she likes at the garden centre, then she's...

    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    Had a few minor complications to resolve first (i'm getting used to this "quirk" or Land Rover ownership - start doing 1 job and find 3 others that have to be done first!), found a water leak, had a little problem with clutch and a couple of little bits and bobs to sort. Finally got all that...

    Disco 2 Watling Engineering front / push towbar - anyone else had problems?

    I've had chance to talk through things with Ben at Watlington Engineering - what a genuinely nice, helpful (and very patient!!) bloke he is. Hugely recommended speaking to him if you're after one of the towbar. He's even provided me with a copy of the original design specs so I can check against...

    Disco 2 Watling Engineering front / push towbar - anyone else had problems?

    Hahaha, yeah neilly, it probably would be on a green lane or similar. Luckily, with where I live, most of the off road use is going to be on fairly flat fields and the huge expanse of flat beach here (which seems to draw tourists from all over the country to try and get their cars stuck in the...

    Disco 2 Watling Engineering front / push towbar - anyone else had problems?

    I got my hands on what looked to be a nice bit of kit - a Watling Engineering made detachable front (push) towbar. I was thinking this would be great for manoeuvring our caravan as well as very useful for recovery (especially as if I got stuck trying to pull someone out then someone else could...

    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    I get why not to buy an eBay £16.99 special from China but what's the benefit of a nanocom / hawkeye / lynx over something like the Terrafirma tf930 (rebounded icarsoft i930) or the later icarsoft lr2? Both of these seem to offer full diagnostics and reset, just don't do remap flash, and they're...

    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    ok, so you've convinced me - I've emailed Dynachip to see what they can offer and when they can do it. I'll update you all once it's done and let you know what the results are like.

    Disco 2 What's that noise and should i fix it or get a remap first?

    Thanks for the info, i'll get in touch with Mike then, I've just looked at their website and see the do a national "at home" service so quite easy to arrange and seem reasonable prices. Must admit, i'd only looked at Alive Tuning as I've seen lots of positive reviews of the TD5Alive Predator...
