Yes, the Nanocom can be used to reset the instrument cluster from an automatic to a manual type. Regarding the other fault indications, you're just going to have to dig a bit. They might be true or they might be false readings.

I've had another look at your first post, George. The RF receiver unit in the roof space isn't a particularly clever unit, it's just a basic radio receiver and has nothing to do with the actual coding of the security system; that's all done in, you've guessed it, the BCU. It might be a good idea...

Nothing weird about Disco 2 electrics (he said, tongue in cheek) just as long as you can keep them dry. Unfortunately, as with almost all printed circuit boards, once they do get wet verdigree, a green coloured copper corrosion can start to form which can do untold damage to those circuit boards...

Your profile suggests that you're talking about a Td5 Disco 2. The temperature indicator, it's hard to call it a temperature guage is actually driven by the engine ECU, based on the temperature measured by the sensor. The first things you could check are the two connectors to the ECU. As you...

The first thing to check is for corrosion around any earth connections. If it's a pre-facelift Disco and if all else fails, take a look at @The Mad Hat Man's post about re-wiring the headlights with relays and replacement ceramic bulb holders. If it is a facelift Disco then the same method can...

I've never had trouble finding 12 volt vehicle relays:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1311.R1.TR5.TRC0.A0.H1.Xautomotive+relay.TRS0&_nkw=automotive+relay&_sacat=0 5 pin (changeover) and 4 pin (make) types are easily available.

Regarding the speedometer, the manufacturer installed device is the one which should be working. An additional GPS device is just that, additional and cannot be regarded as a legally required speedometer. Added to which the odometer won't work either, so there'll be no actual record of the miles...

Judging by his profile he's got a 'Fender 90 with a 200tdi engine. I would also advise the @bongo1 to get the battery and charging system checked over. Sluggish turning over and starting in cold weather is more likely to be a problem with the starter motor and associated electrickery than the...

There are three circuits which would cause the brake warning light to show:- The handbrake being applied, The level of the brake fluid being low, but you've checked that A problem with the braking system which is usually flagged up by the SLABS ECU. Are all of the lights which should show...

+ another 1 :D

It's a valid question. The D3 and 4 stow the spare wheel below the body giving the rear of the vehicle the possible look of a van rather than the traditional 4x4 so lifting the spare wheel up onto a swing away carrier might seem to be a good idea to some owners. The D1 and D2 always did have the...

And a Merry Christmas from me too.

A pair of bags will sort your problem, easy to change too. the SLS is a good system and will give you a couple of facilities you won't get with coiled springs.

When my ignition lock started playing up like that, I didn't bother with any "how tos", I just replaced the barrel. It does mean that you'll have a separate key for the ignition and another for the driver's door unless you buy a complete set of new barrel locks, but so far I haven't needed to...

It would help if you told us what vehicle you have. Have you had any fault codes read?

+1 ^^^^^ I've had my D2 for five years now and I've never seen that light! The most fuel I ever buy is half a tank, but it is the top half! Apart from that, from what I've read about "the diesel bug" it likes fuel tanks which don't contain much fuel, which in the case of the Td5, when the engine...

Your profile page shows you having a Disco 2, in which case there were some versions sold with steel coiled springs on the rear and other, mainly the seven seat version were sold with air suspension, also known as Self Levelling Suspension. The simple way to tell which is on your vehicle is to...

There is a technical term for it, "Complete and utter boIIox", but tommyrot is a good try! :D

You should also find a permanent live feeding the digital clock.

There might be some logged fault codes in the SLABS ECU which could point to the cause. You're going to need a compatible code reader to check.
