I like this promo brochure image, nice one! And I agree that the comet alloys work very well, my standard alloys on my epsom green alongside a mates black one with comet highlights that fact.... I'll monitor fleabay!

Hahaha! To be honest, as a regular reader of various classic car journals I was very surprised, pleasantly, to see D1's and 2's featured in this way and as I said, alongside such exotic true classic cars. However, the reasoning outlined for the recommendation in the article is clear for us D...

Attached are images of an article in the new copy of a well known classic car magazine. The main feature article is titled 'Ten Top Buys for 2019' and lo and behold alongside the Jaguar XK8, Vauxhall VX220, Jenson Healey, Morgan, Triumph GT6, Lotus Elite, Aston DB9 and last but not least, the...

I had been tempted with side steps because my six year old lad and my 5'2" wife struggle but I just like the standard look too much and they are £200, they'll both have to stay at home. My D2 will remain totally standard inside and out.

Engine service including fuel filter, change auto box oil if you can, then treat the chassis rust and paint it.. nice weekends work.

Interesting, thanks. I had in mind to drill four tiny holes in each corner and join them with a dremel to create the cutout.. that's the method that sprung into my mind !

Great, a nice Boxing Day job

I had heard that a nanocom is required to somehow activate post install but I am doubtful, and hopefull !

I secondd discools suggestion. The check strap functions with a high pressure spring mechanism beneath the door and either yours is broken, worn or seized. Get down below the door and examine as you open and close slighly and the problem will be clearer I think.

Thanks for the advice.... ordered via ebay in black £79.99. Xmas gift from the wife!

It always seems that the facelifted black items are more expensive than the pre facelift ash grey which puzzles me! Thanks for the reply.

Apologies but I am unable to post in the wanted section. Looking for the master switch and steering wheel contols at a fair price rather than the breakers yards £80 ebay listings. Many thanks, Jon

Cruise control kit ie master switch and the steering wheel control please, oh, post 2002 in black not grey. Thank you. Jon

Admittadly I am no LR expert being new to the brand myself, however, just wanted to say that their are plenty of low priced D2's out there now and not all with rotten rear chassis rails either! I viewed many and took my time, I paid £2250 for this 54reg 1owner, fsh, never towed etc etc...

If you haven't already this recent thread may be of interest. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/highly-priced-car-values.338166/

Forgot to mention that i paid £100 for that Volvo. Anyhow, apologies for going off topic, you've all got similar stories I'm sure...

TomGc61, you mention the early Saab 900 and it's inevitable rise in value - I bought a 1989 G reg Volvo 740Turbo Intercooler estate off the original owner five years ago. Enjoyed it, used it, lavished lots of time and tlc but only a few quid on it - sold it recently for £2850.. that's cheap...

Interesting thoughts and comments. I am new to the LR scene this D2 is my first and only owned three months as a second car for road trips and general hobby polishing and tinkering while it sits in my garage. Drove it to France 900 mile trip and then very recently to the IOW 1100 round trip -...

In recent years I have been very close to buying either a MK1 or 2 MX5 myself, I found locating one with a good chassis not so easy, much like a D2 in fact! Fun, soft top, affordable motoring .... happy days! However, my wife, two kids and Springer Spaniel and four bicycles wont fit!!

The wider classic car scene (Practical Classics is an excellent magazine and I wish that the LR mags were as good) has in the last twelve months started to appreciate the Discovery1 as an emerging classic, but like all newcomers to recieve that recognition it is only the best examples that...
