    Disco 2 Water ingress hunt

    Bought my D2 yesterday. I have the two holes on the top corners of the front screen. Looks like the headlining will be coming out this summer. It needs the sagging headlining sorting anyway ;-) but will mastic these two holes asap

    Disco 2 The deed has been done!!! And she is home!!!!!!

    70 odd miles to drive the Disco home, and I am in love! Should have done this years ago. Much happier in the driving position, more commanding. The gear change is a little.....erm.......sedate? Suits me fine I loved every minute of it. And when we got home, everything still works...

    Best prospective show 2017?

    Hi gang, As a pretty new newbie (don't actually pick up the disco till tomorrow!!) I'm looking at a good land rover show (or 2) for this year...... List of requirements (to keep the as yet unconvinced boss happy) Lots to look at, not just folks selling piles of rust (been there, and done it!)...

    Thanks, seems to be a common problem. Yes mate, it is very clean, full leather, 5 seats, so storage lockers in the boot Cheers

    Disco 2 The deed has been done!!! And she is home!!!!!!

    When I saw all the lights come on the dash, I could feel the sweat on my palms! It was like blackpool in November! The seller came out and spoke to my legs while I was under the disco, he asked if I was OK? I said I was only on page one! I'll be another hour mate!!!

    Good advice with the clutch, but I have been used to a 'normal' so perhaps I've just gotten a bit soft! ;-)

    Disco 2 The deed has been done!!! And she is home!!!!!!

    Was it your list? That really helped me with the checks. been having my Landy mate look with me but he was working. Tbh, I can swing a wrench, but I don't know all the idiosyncrasies of the disco. Thanks, big help ;-) I will check about the EKA code, the seller was a bit lost when I asked...

    Disco 2 The deed has been done!!! And she is home!!!!!!

    Yep, all dash lights on and off as they should. All electrics working, I had the check sheet with me ;-) Spare key, tick and both work on fob and barrel. I have a friend who has diagnostics, who may become my bezzie mate ;-) I asked about the EKA code, but the seller was going to look for...

    Disco 2 The deed has been done!!! And she is home!!!!!!

    I did it!!! For what must be over 20 years, having continuesly talking myself out of it, yesterday I bought a Land Rover!!! A 2003 Disco :-) Did a thorough inspection of all the electrics, mechanics and as much as I could, a good look at the rear of the chassis. There must be something wrong...

    Hi Discovery folk

    No mate, its a garage. I could just turn up on spec, but I also need the trade in to get rid of my motor

    Hi Discovery folk

    Thanks mate, Did you know all that was wanting doing when you bought it? I can, and don't mind working on my vehicles, but buying a daily driver, I could manage with out swinging the wrenches as soon as I have bought it ;-) Tim

    Hi Discovery folk

    Hi all, Haven't posted here on LandyZone for almost 4 years! Having wanted a Defender for so many years, and finally started seriously looking, I talked myself out of it again due to the amount that were being stolen then, and it seems to have gotten much worse recently So I started looking at...

    Prices on Ebay, Autotrader ETC.....

    That's funny, cos that's just my outlook too. I've lost too many things by trying to save a few quid. I just thought it strange that a lot of good looking Landies just keep going round and round........... Thanks Tim

    Prices on Ebay, Autotrader ETC.....

    Excuse my ignorance, but what is wrong with the prices on the auction sites? I have been watching quite a few Landies on Ebay, Pre-loved, Auto-trader etc for a while, and a lot of the same stuff keeps going around. I can`t see anything wrong with the vehicles (as much as you can tell with pix...
