    Disco 3 - how much better?

    Hi, at the risk of annoying everyone with a Disco 2, I was wondering how much better the Disco 3 is? I've an '03 Disco 2 and am seriously thinking of trading up to an 06/07 Disco 3. Why? The Disco 2 is just a bit too slow for me (even at 70 on the motorway, it feels like it would rather...

    What is this?

    Thanks all, sounds like I've solved the problem - or I need to look elsewhere ...

    What is this?

    If its a blanking plate, or some sort of grommet, it's hugely over engineered. It's fixed from beneath with a metal flange, attached by two bolts - and yes, they are rusty!

    What is this?

    It's on the left hand side, behind the trim piece. The bolt in the background is the lower attachment for the third row seat on the left side. Does that help?

    What is this?

    I decided to deal with a diesel smell in my Disco today. Having made sure that I don't have a leak from the pipes where they link to the fuel pump, I'm hopeful that my diesel soaked load space carpet is the result of either a previous leak, or a spill from a careless previous owner. The carpet...

    Daft question ....

    I noticed last night that the mileometer/trip readout doesn't illuminate when I turn my lights on, but then wondered whether it should..... Can someone please confirm, and if it should, is it a bulb replacement or a bigger job? Thanks in advance

    Headlight leveller (facelift)

    Apologies, no sarcasm intended - I'm new to Discos and had only seen '03 and onwards referred to in that way. I've hunted around on the web and a few comments suggest that the switch doesn't really do much?

    Headlight leveller (facelift)

    It's a 2003 model, hence the facelift reference

    Headlight leveller (facelift)

    Hi, Has anyone got any experience of headlight levelling problems? My system doesn't seem to work, the rotary switch making no difference to the level of either headlight. The lights also seem to be be pointing downwards too much, i.e. almost as if they are stuck on number 4 rather than at...

    Rear wiper not very good

    Hi all, This is my first post having recently bought a 2003 Disco 2. It's a great car and I'm enjoying bringing it up to scratch. I've replaced a couple of instrument bulbs and can now see the time at night, done all four discs and pads, and generally "fettled" it a bit. The rear wiper...
