    Garage / Mechanic needed Berkshire or surrounding area

    I used Keith Gott close to Alton (Hampshire) a few times with my previous D2 and was very happy. Was just for service rather than repair, as I was blessed with more cash than time then! He also helped me with a bit of a lemon of a 110 CSW that I purchased from another dealer, which was...

    Disco 2 Driver's Seat Base Foam Replacement

    Hello, the outside bolster on the driver's seat is decomposing, and I want to replace the foam on the base only. I have seen a number of replacements are available, so my questions to the forum are how to best go about it. For context, the seat is in a '04 D2 Td5, is heated, and fully...

    Disco 2 Aux input for Becker 4765

    Also, I did investigate the option of adding a 3.5mm jack directly to the head unit, but the company does not offer this on the Becker Traffic-pro

    Disco 2 Aux input for Becker 4765

    My kit was a pass through, retaining (not replacing) the multichanger. I can hear the multiplayer changing discs etc, and it still plays CD’s, but when an input is provided by the 3.5mm jack, all you can hear is the Aux device.

    Disco 2 Aux input for Becker 4765

    Is it the satnav Becker? If so, then just play something through the 3.5mm jack whilst selecting CD....

    Disco 4 (LR4) Commercial D4 - Rear Seats?

    Thank you @tom1979, much appreciated! Good to have a benchmark. Also allows me to consider both unconverted and converted, what to look for and the premium for already having the option on the vehicle.

    Disco 4 (LR4) Commercial D4 - Rear Seats?

    Speculative question.... Currently run my beloved D2, but looking at the potential to go D4, but purchase through my company as a Commercial variant or "Panel Van". Clearly there are issues I need to address concerning the VAT, Corp Tax and BIK, but putting that to one side, has anyone any...

    Plus 1 to Dynachip.... if you have an auto, it’s the great feeling of pulling from 50 to (insert your own speed here) with the TC locked.. bucket loads of torque and doesn’t sound like a speedboat....

    my first (not so huge) project

    Have a look at the link I posted, I added in the details of the products, and also the install instructions (which may be useful to you in their own right). The lead wasn’t cheap, but it works and achieved everything I wanted without chopping the loom or binning the CD changer. May not be...

    my first (not so huge) project

    I purchased a plug and play lead that achieves what I think you are looking for, I retained the cd changer and inserted the lead in-line. When a signal is sent via the 3.5mm aux input it mimics the CD feed. I inserted the jack in the cubby box so all 100% factory look. I use a Bluetooth...

    Disco 2 Interior Trimming SE London/Kent

    To celebrate a clean MoT and complements on the state of the old girl from the tester, I plan to celebrate by getting the seat bolster /base on the driver’s seat replaced. Does anyone have any experience of any trim shops in the SE London/Kent area that would strip the seat base and replace the...

    Disco 2 Bonnet Up - Single Horn Toot

    If found that if you are in a hurry (and don’t want to wait the 30sec or wake up the street at 5am) then pop the key in the ignition and turn to position II and back again then lock. Seems to work for me.
