:D Just thinking of all the people without children sitting there going WTF is he on about ^^^

I agree with Jonathan, Basically the larger the numbers the more you need that battery. CCA (cold cranking amps) and AH ( amp hours) are important, but also consider whether it's classed as a starting battery or deep cycle (deep cycle probably more suited for powering a winch or as a second...

Having just read the tootaly unbiased and thoroughly researched piece of journalism on Yahoo, Cars most likely to speed revealed - Yahoo! Cars I'm wondering just how many speeding points us Discovery drivers actually have. Personally, I've none, even though my v8 can go fast, I'm toooo scared...

Anyone????

Hi, Since the previous owner of my Discovery 2 decided to cut the carpet to presumably repair the transfer / auto box, I have a drivers footwell carpet that looks horrid. Am looking for a replacement one, and I think I need one in Smokestone??? My Discovery 2 is in Zambezi Silver (if that...

Would it be something like these you are after??? FESTOON 12V 5W | eBay

Would this happen anywhere near an emergency services station (police / ambulance / fire service etc)?? If so then you could well be having interference from TETRA radio. There's a local control office that has TETRA near me, and the RAC/AA men are always having to tow people away from it to...

A wise man once told me that with "safety" related items such as brakes, you buy the best you can afford at the time. He also re-iterated "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". :D

ok, the RAVE cd is a copy of the Land Rover manuals for a number of cars. If you put RAVE into the search box at the top of the page and follow some of the links that are suggested you'll find links to where you can download from. However, it is LARGE (500mb plus) so best to set it...

Roger, For a free manual you won't do much better than the RAVE.... Search round this forum and you'll find plenty of links to it. :welcome2:

Meego, Could be you're right, previous owner was someone called "Foreign and Commonwealth office". Sounds dodgy to me;)

:5biagree: Looks like it's just a mistake. Or, to put it another way, just another thing that makes my Discovery more unique:biggrin1:

Graham, Thanks for your offer, I'll pm you soon... I've just checked the RAVE info, and that seems to say my chassis code should start SALLTGM232A:confused: Anyway, all the VIN plates, engine numbers etc match what is on the V5, and what was on the HPI check, so I'm sure my Disco is...

Thanks Dippypud, I've had a look at the chassis number info, and it confirms what I originally posted. My chassis number of salltgmP32a says I have a 2.6l 6 cyl petrol in my Disco 2. Should my chassis number start sallgmM32a?????

Hi, Been wondering about this for a while... My chassis number I think has been incorrect since the day Land Rover registered it. I definitely have a V8 Discovery 2, but my chassis number has the letter "P" in it, which translates to a "2.6-litre, 6-cylinder Petrol". Is this just a...

My front sunroof wouldn't open when I bought my Disco 2. I made sure I knew what I was letting myself in for before I handed over the money;) To fix it I followed these steps. 1. Remove interior trim / map pockets to get access to motor assy. 2. Undo 3 torx bolts and electric connector to...

here's my 2p's worth. Disco 2 v8 with Paddock grooved / drilled discs on front, Britpart grooved / drilled discs on rear, and EBC Green stuff pads all round. If I stand on the brakes I can normally scare the guy in the car behind me who is too close.... Having a great big tow bar on the...

If you would care to search for info on "three amigo's" you may find that there are a few answers to your problem:p

couldn't agree more. I'd rather spend two weeks asking questions and making sure I KNOW exactly what is wrong before I jump in and make things worse.... There's enough going wrong without me adding to it:rolleyes:

OK, just need to work out exactly where the leak is from then..... Guess an hour spent underneath with a scrubbing brush and some cleaner and then a good drive should short me out;)
