    Is it worth sealing the chassis

    If chassis is in good condition then do everything possible to keep it that way. I used Tectyl 506 spray on mine. It's expensive per spray can, but I get mine from work so not an issue, lol . As I work building super yachts, and it's deemed good enough to prevent corrosion on ocean going...

    Disco 2 Idle Hands !!

    I had it in a Big folder too. Was a pain in the arse and took up too much space so put in on my phone and now have always got it to hand as long as I've got my phone with me. Nanocom in boot, RAVE on phone, AA membership just in case, lol.

    Disco 2 Dash lights and fuel cover door

    Agree with it being water sensor. Mine seems to have a mind of its own. Stays off for ages then on and off a few times a day.

    Anyone know where to get cheapish all terrain tyres

    Paid under £300 for Cooper Discoverer A/T 3 from local independent tyre shop a couple of years ago(they price matched an on line price but I can't remember who from, I think fully fitted etc was about £69 a tyre.) A really good tyre and not had any traction issues except on a really wet grass...

    D2 - Fitting Reversing Camera - How Do I Get The Wiring To The Reverse Lights?

    I mounted my reversing camera below high level brake light in tailgate. Gives a lovely view to rear of car. Decided against mounting camera outside as it meant constantly cleaning the lens especially when it's wet and getting road spray thrown up. Mounted inside its always a clean lens and the...

    Discovery 5 Rear Entertainment System

    Can't really help with disco tech info but I can say there is an apple to hdmi adaptor available. Have one which our son uses to connect ipad to hdmi input on AV amp at home to watch stuff on the TV. Plays sound and video fine. I think we purchased from fleabay a while ago.

    Shuttle valve mod question

    Soldered mine. Think I used .75mm2 for mine. Might have even been .5mm2 but has been perfect ever since, probably about 2 1/2yrs since it was done.

    Disco 2 Insurance seems high

    Dunno, but I thought that all insurance covered 3rd party damage even on private land as a legal requirement. I live in a group of 3 houses with a private driveway and if I damage another vehicle parked here my insurance has to cover any damage caused even though its on private property and not...

    Disco 2 Insurance seems high

    Just checked policy to make sure, lol. Does cover what I need in terms off roading, also as one of my shoots also has a dedicated off road course built for private use by the landowner, driving around the land whilst shooting would be classed as gaining access to and from his course for...

    Disco 2 Insurance seems high

    MOT time again

    Might be wrong but didn't think that 2 wheel testers could be used without risking damage. Even says to use deceleration tester in mot testers manual by dot. I know my testing station refuses to test any 4wd on their rollers. Suits me fine as there's less to find fault with individual efficiency...
