    Disco 2 Moving from 18" to 16"

    based on what I've learnt during my years as a tyre engineer, I'd recommend avoiding mixing those sizes!! If you're going to swap to 16" rims, change all four at the same time. Also consider, depending on tread depths of the tyres on both sets of rims, if there's too much of a difference, you...

    Good shout Swisstoe, I'd personally always say get something thats not been heavily modded or resprayed, at least then, if you want to add mods, you can make sure it's done properly, and get also get the look you want. A respray may also be hiding issues like rust that he's wanting to escape...

    Discovery 1

    I'm with Kevstar, seems a high price considering all the advisories. And if the tyres have bulges in them, a) the tyres should have been replaced, b) if they've not been replaced, I'd question the MOT full stops. Tyre bulges are an MOT failure (as far as I'm aware). Looking at the tyres in the...

    Laning weekend suggestions?

    Devon and Cornwall are great places. I've not driven any lanes down there myself, but seen some good ones on youtube.

    Disco 2 New seat options

    On one of our dates, when we got together the first time round, I took her along a rather good lane, admittedly a tad rutted and bumpy (she did say had she known she'd have worn a more supportive bra ;):D), and she is up for giving laning a real go (especially as it now seems our daughter seems...

    Disco 2 New seat options

    Totally forgot that, mine is the basic ‘S’ spec. So no added creature comforts. Suited what I wanted at the time, less to go wrong. Shame though, the guy that works on mine had or knew of a really good set of heated leather seats plus rears for £200, I should’ve taken them, but it was before...

    Disco 2 New seat options

    Not an option I'm afraid, engaged to be married and she's the mother of my daughter. and on a plus, when we were working out finances etc, it did come up that the D2 is an expensive hobby as I've not got out so much over the last 18months, and maybe it was time to sell it, but she said no, she...

    Disco 2 New seat options

    I've never found comfort an issue to be fair, but her last car before our little came along was a Merc C-Class coupe, and although they were sporty seats, were pretty comfortable. Now, having been in a RR vogue and a D5, she's thinking the seats are too dated and lacking in comfort in the D2...

    Disco 2 New seat options

    Shes not too worried about the general spec, ie air con etc, but she thinks the seats aren't really comfortable for a day/weeknd out on the lanes. She understands I'd not want to trade my D2 for another D2 as I'd have to start from scratch again buying and fitting the mods. I was just thinking...

    Disco 2 New seat options

    Sadly not. Her Kuga has leather interior, heated seats (that are pretty comfortable), air con etc. Nice SUV to drive too, although it'd never go the places a Landy could.But definitely more luxurious than my '01 D2.

    Disco 2 New seat options

    Afternoon all, I've always been keen to get the other half into green laning, we got back together a year ago and moved in, so I'm hoping she'll see green laning as a good family hobby with the chance of weekends away camping etc. We went to an event at Warwick Uni at the weekend, and they had...

    Nanocom in Guildford

    Hi mate, best bet is to go to the International Rescue section. The map will list people in the area and what recovery gear/diagnostics they may have. Worth a look, there's usually someone not too far away.

    New destination ... Scotland!!!

    Hi, Wales and the Lake District will be fine, just the usual case of checking your routes to ensure there're no TRO's or voluntary restraints. Scotland on the other hand is a different kettle of fish. There aren't any 'green lanes' as such like we have in England and Wales. I'd need to look...

    For Sale Discovery 2 interior parts

    Damn!! ‍♂️. Picked the ring up yesterday. Not sure the mrs would've been too pleased at me getting a cheaper ring . Keep me posted though, if it doesn't sell I may be interested.

    Someone's going to get a good deal here!! If I weren't paying out for an expensive engagement ring, I'd have been tempted to have a weekend away and had the lot off you!! Been wanting to swap the interior of my D2 for the darker one for some time!! Best of luck mate

    Any one help out with diagnostics

    Being in a club is definitely an advantage, people are more ready to help out, plus there's the benefit of making plenty of new friends that share your passion for the green oval.

    I do like the D5, and the rear number plate is fine too, I don't see the fuss, if I'm driving one, I'm never going to be looking at the rear number plate . Plus those that do slate it seem to forget that the number plate was never centrally mounted on D1, D, D3 or D4, so why should it matter...

    Any one help out with diagnostics

    Xat44 may be your best shout, to be fair, and at least by asking someone on here, even if it costs a few beer tokens, you won't have someone that's just out to make a quick buck, they'll be pretty trustworthy, plus they're on here because they love their Landy's. The ebay idea was more of a...
