Mines a V8 manual with Prins LPG fitted, i have to say i think it's great and i speak from experience in having run a few TD5's as well, manual and auto, i will only want to run V8 with LPG if i have the chance. I get the equvalent of 30 mpg and 180 odd hp too, it doesn't compare for towing. I...

I love my Disco 2 ES V8 manual with LPG by Prins! equivalent of 30mpg and none of the dreadful noise and clatter and awful smell associated with heavy oil:D Seriously though, V8 with LPG is much better than TD5 isn't it? :rolleyes: If that doesn't get a discussion going nothing will :)

On TD5's we have previously sold at around the 100k mark we nearly always have to replace the rubber intercooler hoses top and bottom because they perish.

Nearly every Disco 2 or f/lift we sell needs the roofs sealing, an easy fix. Just mask up the roof 2-3mm from the frame and ditto for the frame and seal with windscreen sealent. Keep it neat and tidy and it won't look a mess. If you want to be sure just lie your face down on the roof and look at...

Now i didn't know that, the whole thing is a minefield. It all seems to centre on the phrase hire or reward but i thought you could get away with calling yourself a recovery vehicle but VOSA have that one covered now by saying it must be a "specialised recovery vehicle" I've never heard of...

Trouble is Andy they are always more expensive to run, still need a tacho and you don't get to use a nice Disco as your daily drive. Mates of mine run both and as in anythig there are lots of pros and cons with each. My deciding factor was my neighbours kicking off at having a flat bed Tranny...

Bear in mind that on a V plate car it won't be subject to the road tax rise, had to be later than 01 Y for that. Glass's guide says 2000 V with 79K is £2925 trade value as a 7 seat manual- Allow £200 more if auto and knock it £200-£300 if 5 seat as that'll make it harder for you to sell on after...

Unfortunately yes, greater than the 100kms radius i could have got away with! Why, do you need a quote?;)

If anyone now wants to know any details of Tacho's for a Disco please ask. I've been through the minefield associated with this and am now a "layman" expert:confused: I have to have a tacho as i tow a big Ifor Williams car trailer for my business as a car trader. I wish i'd found out more about...

Hi Daz We are fitting ourselves and then taking it for calibration, most of the fitting centres i've spoken to don't have an issue with it but perhaps now they know with all the trouble we're having we'll give up and use them anyway:rolleyes:

Hi All I've run into problems fitting a Stoneridge 2400 series tacho to my 2000 Disco V8 Manual with ABS. The problem lies in getting the speed signal for the tacho, the tech guy at Stoneridge told me to pick up my feed from the terminal block on the ABS unit under the bonnet, Pin no. 33. Well...

I have an 01Y V6 ES 3dr Freelander which had terrible rattles from the top end. Subsequently I have fitted a second hand Plenum from a V6 Rover. The rattles have gone but the management light has come on . My local independent has put it out with a Snap On diagnostic tool but it comes back on...
