Pictures required, I think...

Thanks guys. I didn't know about the two-press trick. Will try tomorrow. Maybe a case of the answer being right under my nose :)

Hi guys Disco 2 question... My keyfob unlocks the drivers door only, meaning that I have to lean across to the dash mounted lock/unlock switch to open the other doors or boot. Is there any way of programming it so that the keyfob unlocks all doors? Thanks as always. Stu

I think the DVD player is 1966...?

Hi guys I'm looking at buying this for the transfer box and diffs: Carlube EP75w90 semi-sythetic gear oil. Is this OK? Does semi-synthetic mean I need to change it more regularly than if it was fully synthetic...? Thanks as always Stu

Hi guys About to do my first oil change in my Disco 2 TD5. (My first oil change on any car ever, in fact). I've been through the posts on here, and the consensus seems to be that I can use 5w30 semi-synthetic as long as I change it every 6000 miles. Assuming that's correct, is it worth...

I went to rustmaster in the end. Helpful guy (Michael), picked up and returned the car to my workplace for a small fee, and by the looks of it did a pretty good job.

That's what my trusty scanner is for... :)

Thanks guys, that's all really useful. Looks like there's a clear concensus. Off to the big orange shed tomorrow morning.

Hi guys About to get kitted up to do some basic (noobie) maintenance on my Disco 2 TD5. So... Socket set: hex or bi hex? 1/2in drive or 3/8? Shallow or deep sockets? Torque wrench: obviously a £15 tool is not going be as accurate / long-lasting as Snapon / Facom product. Any suggestions for...

Thanks guys. Biglad, I'm about to embark on the fluid and filter changes as you suggest. Never been under a car in my life so please be prepared for some dumbass questions :)

Hi guys So I finally bought my first Land Rover, a lovely Discovery 2. She's in pretty good nick and I'm very grateful for the generous advice that I received on this forum. I've only had her for 36 hours and I'm already referring to her as "her/she", rather that "it". I've never done that...

Hmmm... I was getting that impression too. Think I'm gonna go with Rustmaster.

Thanks for the tip. All web searches for kleentect end up at the before'n'after website. Anyone know if they are the same company?

Excellent, thank you

Hi guys I know there's a sticky thread about Disco tyres but the link that it contains no longer works: http://members.shaw.ca/jbarge/tires.html Dos anyone have a current list of which tyre sizes will fit a D2 without modification? Thanks as always. Stu

Hi guys I've checked out the old posts on this subject and most of them suggest that the OP does the WaxOyl work themselves. I don't really want to do that - I'm buying a D2 in pretty good nick, and whilst I'm happy to start doing basic mechanical work, I'd prefer to pay someone with the...

Thanks as always guys. I'll check as you suggest. I realise this question might open a whole can of worms, but is there any major difference between the capabilities of CDL and traction control? I guess people will prefer one over the other for various reasons - but do they perform the same?

Yeah, cheers for clearing that up :)

Hi guys Got my eye on a D2 but haven't seen it yet as it's miles away. The dealer says there's no diff lock on it because it has traction control instead. I know that Land Rover changed this during the production run of the D2, but I thought they put diff lock back in on the later models...
