    Turret Rings Help

    Can anyone tell me if D1 turret rings will fit a D2 please. Need some heavy duty ones urgently (because of the longer bolts) but can only seem to find H/D ones for D1 and Defenders. Thank you, Bill

    Speedo out of synch

    Already have a TomTom :), just would like to have the speedo a bit closer to its original accuracy as i know bigger tyres can make it under read, good for not getting a ticket but not so good for working out fuel consumption.

    Speedo out of synch

    Hi all I'm in the process of fitting taller tyres to my D2, and i know the speedo reading will be out because i had the same problem with my old 200Tdi. I believe there is a plug in electronic adapter that i can use but am having problems finding one on the net, I think it was sold by Ashcroft...

    Disco 2 Three Amigos, Effects.

    Hi thanks for that but i would still like to know if i have a wheel bearing fault for example does this mean the traction control will not work even though they are not connected ??. I have read up on the shuttle valve mod and it looks like the way to go, but will have to find a auto electrician...

    Disco 2 Three Amigos, Effects.

    Had a thought earlier, I have the three amigos on and when I had it plugged into a Hawkeye a while back rear nearside wheel sensor came up, now when i had it plugged into the same Hawkeye last week (for a different problem) there where no codes, even though the three amigos are still there ...

    Disco 2 Fuel consumption, Can this be right ???

    Very good point :), I know on my old 200Tdi the light would come on and if I ignored it would go of again and then come back on 10-15 miles later, just not that brave in this one

    Disco 2 Fuel consumption, Can this be right ???

    Pretty certain no leaks and oil level not gone up or has a "dieseley smell", and also not been chipped, although i have thought about it, just worried fuel consumption will go up even more. kermit rr I get your point about filling it up which i will try but as the fuel light seems to come on at...

    Disco 2 Fuel consumption, Can this be right ???

    When the fuel light comes on i reset the trip mileage, then put in £20 or £40 worth and reset the trip, noting distance to garage (reserve fuel) Then when the fuel light comes back on note the mileage deducting distance to garage. Then convert litres to gallons and divide miles by gallons, I...

    Disco 2 Fuel consumption, Can this be right ???

    Hi all Vehicle is a 2002 Discovery Td5 Auto, not had it long and think the fuel consumption is to high as i'm only getting 12 mpg :eek::eek:. Now i knew it wasn't going to compare with my old 200 Tdi but surely 12 cannot be right, the vehicle has just had a new brand new 15p head and gasket set...
