Is that a fairly easy job? I may do likewise, thanks If you mean these (https://www.partsinmotion.co.uk/car-parts/wash-wipe/wiper-arms-blades/bosch-pair-of-windscreen-wiper-blades-807-detail) they won't fit on mine, I think I may have bought a set of those only to find I don't have a hook on...

I must have ordered about 3 different sets of wipers now, they never fit. Not sure if my D2 has non standard windscreen wiper arms, but nothing seems to fit. The end of them is a U shape with a hole in both sides. Is that normal? I really want the Bosch Aero style wipers, anyone know how to...

That's fantastic! Any mods on the vehicle? Air filters, intercoolers, exhaust, de-cat, de-egr....?

Seriously?! I assume you did the calculation right? No insult intended! I just know there's a different between US and UK gallons so I think it's easy to get the calculation wrong using Google on smartphones etc. I could be wrong, and it could work the other way, but 36 in an auto, doing 70...

Not sure if I could never do more than 50mph! I haven't seen that chart but I can well imagine. I hear the Penny Farthing was pretty good to the gallon :D

Yes I can't grumble at 27.7 doing 70. Probably might get near 30 if I did 55-60. Just wondered what next steps I might take if I could, to bump it up a bit more.

I only get notifications of replies about one in ten. Weird. Anyone here had a bigger intercooler and/or variable vain turbo fitted, and have numbers on the difference in fuel economy (if any)? thanks

Yep she's a stick shift :)

Howdy dudies. 2004 Disco2 (Manual). Desperately trying to improve fuel economy. Just wondered if anyone has any tips for next steps. I have had a manual before which did 30+ on a run, and a friend's got quite a bit better than that (after some mods). After doing a lot of work, the best I can...

WOW! What else is there to say? Except thanks SF. You Da Man. (Apologies if I 'misgendered' you, pretty sure I didn't somehow) :)

mine have small buttons (one per light) but that doesn't turn them off when doors are open, it just turns them on when they are shut (for passengers to read with or whatever). I think black tape or bulb removal look like the best options, thanks everyone

Well it worked but the 40" plasma and lazy boy stopped working, dammit.

Well, yeah probably! I was wondering if it's a setting thing which I can adjust, or worst case something I can adjust using diagnostics software. I should have been more clear! Yes I am handy with a pair of wire cutters but that's a last resort, as I am a bit too handy :D

I went to shoot some rabbits last night on friend's fields. I have 3 internal lights, front, rear seats and boot. I can turn off front with switch, but not sure how (or if poss) to stop rear two coming on when doors open. Is there a way? thanks

Thanks Andy. Yes I cut the crimp part out of the old pipes and found the 'attentuator', quite clever really. From what I have heard, Land Rover first fitted ACE systems without them, then got noise/whine complaints and then developed and retrofitted the attenuators to take care of the issue...

I heard of that, quite neat. So did you have to get your valve block drilled/tapped for hydraulic fittings etc?

D2BC - never been on there but might do that thanks Original pipe - was fine til today when i cut it open to have a looksee!! Got some third hand response from *hitpart, they say no their hoses don't have attenuator fitted. Some comment about "it''s copyrighted by Land Rover". Maybe true...

I have spent a lot of money on my D2 over the past month or two. As we had the chassis dropped we replaced the ACE pipes and rear brake pipes. ACE pipes were badly corroded and ready to give up. We couldn't get genuine LR pipes so had to get Britpart ones. The ACE unit was carefully cleaned...

Yep, exactliy! I definitely wouldn't go down the "just thin it with a bit of petrol" route which I hear a fair bit. Not to say it can't work, I might try it in a tractor or old green laner, but not on the only road going vehicle I have, which already costs enough to keep running (and hole-free!)...

Going by what you've said above, it sounds like it's just a hang out for "conspiracy theorists" and the mentally ill. Maybe I should take a look after all, I'll obviously fit right in :). I wonder if Nodge is in there, maybe there's a thread about the global conspiracy of OPEC. I hope so, as I...
