    Disco 2 Smashed and drove off....

    It's termed by the insurer a disallowed claim or something similar... so they pay out and although it's a no fault, its still against me as a claim..... strangely enough I am enjoying the small print of my policy now, whilst looking at the bay of e for parts.....

    Wanted D2 Facelift Bumper

    Long shot, but following being hit by an uninsured driver in a cloned car earlier today, I am in the market for a new front bumper for my '53 Discovery 2 Facelift (the one with the round fog lamps) If anyone is upgrading to a winch bumper, or indeed has one laying around and in good condition...

    Disco 2 Smashed and drove off....

    So, headed out today, and within 1 minute of leaving the house, got hit on the driver's side front by a car that pulls out from a side street on the right to cross the main road. I move forward and onto pavement to clear the road, they reverse and then speed off. Front of their Vauxhall...

    Disco 2 What are you doing today?

    Over the years I have realised that you can’t judge others by your own standards... once I accepted that, I spent a lot less time being disappointed.

    Disco 2 What are you doing today?

    No, don’t think you are old fashioned, more just common decency! Sounds like the people I bought a house from once.... took every lightbulb with them..... Glad that you are happy though!

    Disco 2 Heated Leather Seats?

    Definitely different switches and connection blocks, but as @Jamiegreen says, can’t confirm how these connect together in the loom. Had my centre console out a few weeks ago to refinish the veneer.

    How to remove all old coolant

    Sorry - should have been clearer, just know of a few people that have literally drained the whole system then refilled (compared to the flushing you propose). Quite often the draining has been the unintended consequence of a catastrophic failure in the cooling system.... so they have had little...

    How to remove all old coolant

    If your heater matrix is not gurgling or sounding like Niagara Falls, don’t, whatever you do empty everything. In LR’s infinite wisdom, on the D2 the flow and return are below the top of the matrix.... end result, trapped air you can’t bleed.....
