Could be anything. But if it’s behaving some of the time I’d expect it is something electronic playing up rather than the box itself. That’s the fun of the newer LR’s, most of it is pretty reliable but you do get the odd pesky gremlin here and there which requires specialist knowledge to find...

Probably the least interesting post ever but after I guess almost a year I dropped the battery from my D2 into my D1 and of course she starts literally first turn of the key like nothing had happened. The D2 has consumed too much money for me to be able to afford the welding on the old girl so...

Haha. I too have wondered why mine would t start before realising! Didn’t take me long to realise though. My TD5 was rapid with the tuning box on but took that off and I have to say it drives much nicer now. I don’t the the gearbox really understood the extra power, I expect a proper map would...

I’ve not had to try them in anger in the wet, nice to have someone make a comparison though! The D2 is going from toy to daily in a few weeks time so who knows I may well be looking for something less aggressive for daily use. The MT’s aren’t quite a full mud tyre but if the AT’s are noisy these...

Kumho MT51’s are a bit more off road biased to look at but still behave on the road. Never compared the two but you do get a bit of howl from the MT51’s, not an issue on a D2 in my opinion but might be noticeable in a smaller car. Looks like you’ve got a decent enough recommendation as above...

Everyone has to start somewhere, I saw this the other day which just about sums it up! A dealer may only be interested in newer stuff and charge accordingly. Depends on your luck, if they have people that know the D2 there it might be a good move but almost certainly not the cheapest.

Any LR specialist should be able to help and I’d imagine there are plenty in Norfolk with the amount I see driving about up there! They are a car where you really need someone that knows them. If you pick up the phone and they start saying specifics about the car you’ve got a good chance, a...

Mine did it once, may have been battery related as it had gone flat due to the alternator failing. Only thing I did see was while ignition is on but engine off cycle the stick from 1 to P fairly vigorously several times. Mine cleared after that and never came back but as said could just have...

I’ve never used mine, don’t really plan to either, have heard stories of it disengaging by itself. Did try once but couldn’t make it work, haven’t exactly read how to do it though!!! My high/low switch is lazy to detect the change so I assume that may be the culprit. Auto, lock in first low...

I’m about to put PD 5/40 in mine. There’s a number of arguments of what different individuals think, my opinion on reading them all is the PD oil makes sense. There are others than believe it’s a terrible idea. I don’t think you’ll get a definitive decision either way as both sides seem...

Hi, the disco section is the best place to ask your questions, here is mainly for hello and pics so you won’t get the attention of the people you need. I had new window seals fitted to my D1, removed the sunroofs and resealed them to the car. Was leak free from then on and I still had all the...

I’d probably look into replacing the flexi hoses or even the whole thing while you’re at it but then I do like a bit of overkill in the hope the car pays me back in reliability.

You’ll want new bolts to put it back on. The old ones may be rusted and a pain in the arse to get off... a fractured finger is how I know that bit. As for what’s underneath give it a good prod with a screwdriver, if it seems solid then hopefully you won’t get any shocks. Even if it does reveal...

I’m thinking my only option for the D2 is one of the spare wheel mounted frames. Like you say though, not sure how much I like the idea of droid bikes hanging off the back!

It’s clear in the instructions but make sure when you get it that you screw the cable into the nanocom before connecting the cable to the car, apparently ruins the nanocom the other way around. I carry mine on every journey!

Would a light bar or two not be easier options?

Think I fitted a bearmach pump to mine from memory. Has been fine and wasn’t expensive.

Very happy with my nanocom. There are apparently some quirks with them so not 100% perfect but mine has been very handy. I delayed buying one, shortly after my D2 randomly inflated one side to full due to what turned out to be a broken connector. Had I had one I’d have been on my way home in...

How much were you quoted for a half chassis? For me owning one isn’t about the money as they make no financial sense at all, more that for what I paid for it I’m happy to accept high running costs in exchange for what it can do for me. Ideal bus when required, can carry all kinds of stuff if I...

Is it disco specific?
