    Thank you for the reply and the kind offer of the wheel. Just a couple of points, I am on 235 60 18 wheels, does your old wheel cover this size, and where are you approximately, I am S35 outside Sheffield. Regards Phil*

    Freelander 2 2008 HSE

    At the age of 70 we have just bought a Freelander in readiness for the coming winter. Just a couple of questions if any one can help us out please. Under the boot floor there is only a large empty polystyrene box, no puncture outfit, spare wheel, jack or wheel-brace. What should be in there...

    Now selling with 12 months mot. Just been speaking with a fleece bay buyer after the Disco failed to reach its reserve. I understood the final sale % that was taken by the auction site was 1%, but my friend tells me it is a 10% final selling fee. Also P P take a final selling fee as well. Jaysus...

    If anyone is reading this post, I have sent the Disco off for an MOT. Our local garage arranged the MOT and kindly took the Disco for me. Good news is it passed with three minor advisory's. 1) light oil leak. It must be light because the Disco is on our concrete drive, and there are no drips...

    Apologies for my lax post, my intentions were to try and get viewings. I travelled 95 miles for a viewing on the Disco. You would be hard pressed to find one in better condition. It's a 2004, 127k miles and to add no roof leaks from the 2 moon roofs, I have never opened them, and never will...

    Disco 2 Td5 2 Loom Name

    Got the new diesel pump fitted today, along with the injector loom. As expected there was a little oil In the loom plug. Not had the ecu off yet, but willthe oil have got to it, although the Disco is running like a Swiss watch. Is it prudent to replace this loom also, I am well into £3k now so...

    Rear Tailgate Window Change??

    Just done the job. Bought a second hand door with glass, and paid a guy from, can't remember the company but it wasn't auto glass to fit it. £50. A 10 minute job, but we'll worth the 50. Only got rid of the door yesterday, still have the seal if you want it. Free if you pay the postage. IF you...

    Discovery 2 Price

    You can see Disco Td5's on the forecourt at £7.5k. I don't know if they sell for that mind. Regarding my 04 plate Auto DiscoTd5 I am now into £7k territory trying to make it "right", 4K for the Disco, £3k on repairs. New pump ready to fit, getting rid of the diesel tank whine (I hope), injector...

    If you are not taking the Michael, 33 mpg is good even on gas I would say. After all it's like towing a 2 ton brick.
