    Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree

    No it's all dry inside, but it does look a high at the back, that's what made me think the rear hight sensors, yea that's what worries me wether or not he's got the right diagnostics, just all came back all of a sudden today, the rain was last week.

    Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree

    No I haven't, it just came up after the bad rain last week, thinking I may have to take it to my garage, not sure if he can do the diagnostics though.

    Disco 2 CSI Leaky roof edition.

    Have to be honest on the disco I had before the one I have now, I tried duck tape didn't stop it, then fiber glassed all round and over it, did bugger all good, could hear it sloshing around as I drove along, poor buggers in the back would get a shower every now and then, boy was I popular, so...

    List of works to do

    Disco 2 air suspension fault

    Mine did the same but both sides, when I raised it it was fine for a while then went down, it does get worse and will not stay up as long, I would guess it's a leaking air bag, how old are they and have they ever been changed? Mine were original and it's a 2004! I did think it would be a drama...

    Advice please on these leaking points

    I had someone fix mine, water was coming in the same places you describe, he removed and resealed the sunroofs, the sealant used by Landrover is pretty poor, also redone the drain, when the roof is closed no water should enter the frame,the drains are there if by any chance water does get in the...

    cold air

    Economy mode is with the air con off, means your getting more mpg, therefore more economic, as sierraferry said, if you've no gas in the system, then it won't blow cold, may be a leak in the system, had to have two pipes changed on mine, lucky it was under warranty

    Mine has been returning 23 miles to the gallon towing, and about 28 miles on the motorway and country roads, that's a bog standard nothing changed, be interesting to find out why yours is so low.

    Disco 2 Bag or Coil?

    Got to agree, the bags went on mine earlier this year, after posting on here and a chat with a mechanic changed both myself, and as explained it was simple, wouldn't change a thing would stick to the bags.

    Disco 2 Power steering fluid colour

    Also I've seen these additives that supposedly seal leaks in the system, I've a very slight leak coming from the steering box, so I may be an opportunity to use that when I refill

    Disco 2 Power steering fluid colour

    Is it easy to change, never really thought about changing it, always worried about opening a bigger can of worms

    Disco 2 Power steering fluid colour

    Mine is black as well, I was thinking the same " didn't seem right" so I'm glad to hear that it's nothing to sweat about!
