    My D2 Cloned

    Correct registration number - wrong vehicle! The speeding and parking fines are landing on my doorstep already, all of them served in mainland England when my facelift 2004 D2 is all cosey in my garage as you can see - at my home in Northern Ireland. Notice the culprits have the sunvisors...

    Disco 2 Need help fitting my spring conversion

    No money, then requesting help with the simplest of task(nothing wrong with that in itself), then when help isn't forthcoming a professional is appointed and an admission of being lazy (hence said request for some kind hearted soul to pop round and do it for him), then a pompous 'I'm a pay the...

    Other what have u done on ur disco today

    Despite no obvious symptoms I thought I would remove the ECU and inspect the infamous injection harness for oil, I know from the service paperwork that the harness and oils seal were replaced four years/20k miles ago.. however, the plug and socket pins were wet with oil. Thorough clean with...

    Disco 2 Replacement Coolant hoses etc TD5

    As preventative maintenance replacing my hoses with standard rubber/OEM is on my to do list.. still on the originals after 180k miles mind you and they appear ok but I think they have done their bit a d due a peaceful retirement. That said, I will proce up genuine LR items too.

    New Discovery Owner

    Sounds good to me... i still love mine albeit I don't use it as much as I perhaps should favouring the garaged princess, weekend family outings and camping holidays approach and a crappy mk6 Fiesta 1.6 as a daily!

    I think it's saying seven people not seven adults ie five plus two in comfort which I would agree with. Seven adults no. Did BMW have any input at all in the design and manufacturing process of the TD5 engine? I'm new to the brand so wouldn't know as well as you guys... if BMW owned JLR during...
