Thanks for the link Biggeee, I missed that on my rummaging. Going to go fingers crossed for the nylon bush rather than the leaking Tx box... will see if I can get under it later and have a look just in case though

Morning all. Had a bit of an odd one this weekend - gear lever seizes up after a motorway run but is fine when it cools down again. Round the lanes and b-roads it's fine all day long, but sit in 5th for 50 miles on the motorway and the stick no-longer self-centres and needs a certain amount of...

Cheers Neilly, ordering a pair of Nightbreakers as we speak...

Lovely, thanks all! H4s is it. The manual is possibly the least helpful source of bulb advice I've ever seen!

Spotted a headlight and a side light (on different sides) out when I got to the station this morning, so hopped on the train and pulled up the owners manual - only to find it gives just the wattage and not the type of bulb needed! A quick search on a few obvious sites revealed that some places...

Aye, that sounds like a plan Discokids, cheers - at least I should be able to cross one off the list. I don't think it's the door seal, as the damp patch in the ceiling is a couple of feet back from the door, but looks like there are a few other things to look at next Speckydude. Cheers all -...

Argh, sounds like a fair few things to investigate then! Still can't help thinking it's related to washing the rear screen but I'll have another look tonight and get someone to squirt it whilst I sit in the back. Thanks for the suggestions though. How hard is it to get behind the headlining in...

Evening all As the subject suggests, I've got a little damp patch... It wasn't there this morning when I loaded the boot, but when I unloaded it an hour later there was a damp patch on the ceiling and a puddle in the boot. On the way home, it dried up again - but it's occurred to me that I...

Now I know this is a topic that has been done to death, and I know how many threads there are about it, but I thought I'd share this just in case. When I picked up my new Disco 2 a couple weeks ago, my excitement of having a stereo (coming from a Defender) was dampened by the farty buzzing...

and thank you markomate2 - great checklist! I'm looking up the seals in the Haynes manual now...

Cheers Mark. I'll confess I bottled it on the first service - I didn't have any paperwork since 2010 so wanted someone who knew what they were doing to have a look over it! Pleased to report it seems pretty happy with only a few advisories for later in the year (corroded brake lines I was...

That's really kind, thank you Tulipandthistle - that' will save me a lot of time and heartache! Cheers!

Glad to hear it may be spanner friendly Feathers! I've booked it in with a local independent for a full service, as it doesn't look like it's had any attention for a couple of years and I'd rather it had a good going over by an expert eye / laptop, but I'd hope to be able to service it myself as...

Weirdly yes... 2 sunroofs. I'm not going to tempt fate, but it doesn't appear to - you know - do what all the other Land Rover sunroofs do... Yet.

Sound advice, thanks Brian & Neilly. ACE and air suspension is all dark magic to me at the moment, but I have a feeling I will soon be as familiar with the undersides of the Disco as I am the Defender... It's all a lot more accessible on a defender though! Looks like the front-to-back brake...

'ello Disco 1BFG and Sierrafery, cheers for saying hi. EKA code sounds like a good move - I spotted the bit in the manual about the security card this morning and I certainly don't have one. The amount of electronics on these things - Land Rover electronics at that - is terrifying! And it makes...

Morning all. After several years of hanging out on the Defender side of the site (under 2 different names over the years), I've finally joined the more motorway-friendly side of the Landy family! The 110 300Tdi is about to be sold, so I've just picked up a lovely D2 TD5 ES that's bristling with...

Ok, on the basis I couldn't find this I set to work with the multimeter and worked it out - I thought I'd add it here for future reference in case anybody needs it The switch I bought didn't have the numbers used in the attached image but I found them on the remains of the old switch. As far as...

Zeaphod explained it better...

Ignoring the potential for wiring craziness - I've had issues where a PO has hard-wired things into the lights or directly into the ignition that have caused no end of issues - it could also be some misguided connections on the ignition switch. If the lights are sharing a terminal or earthing...
