very neat job. I like the idea of the voltmeter/thermometer... although i already have a cluster of 3 carling switches in that panel (installed for extra lights) and not sure where else i'd put the voltmeter I've got the component to wire in so I can have a 12v feed up there - mine's just to...

So far over a year, she's cost me: £75 for a new air compressor for the SLS £35 for a second hand tow bar, plus another £10 for bolts to go with it Approx £50 for additional lights, wiring, switches, etc £25 for a Shuttle Valve to fix the 3As a few pints of cider for diagnostics Plus of...

Welcome! That's certainly an odd problem!! Do the lights go out when you stop pressing the horn? And does the horn still work properly I'm guessing its possible that the wires to the horn and to the ABS system are somehow shorting against each other (maybe both rubbing on the same piece of...

Are you sure its a landrover discovery?!!

Thanks... will add it to the job list. Unfortunately that, along with the suspension, is going to have to wait a few days

A quick video taken up on the plain at the weekend... driest i've ever seen it!

It definitely has its own character! Just that MAF to sort out now!

So... 24 hours later and central locking is still working fine (apart from the aforementioned back door) The air suspension stayed up all day yesterday (car was parked from about 10am to 11pm, and then again from 11pm to 8am and didnt drop either time).

That involves remembering to unplug it, and remembering to plug it back in when you get in the car. Having it on an ignition live feed makes that process automatic.

Yup. This is what i've used for mine... if you take down the front headlining trim panel with the lights, map shelves, etc behind there are various wires, including an ignition live. Two options then... one is to wire in a 12v socket. A neater option would be to buy one of these...

Details about the EKA code can be found here - https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/handy-buying-alarm-info.311291/ its basically an emergency unlock code to use if the remote fob fails - which they have a tendancy to do.

In that case yes. SPE is activated and has been since I bought the car.

I just happened to drive back past a petrol station with a jetwash which I knew was cheap, and powerful, on the way back. and thought i might as well get it done. Yep will get the plant sprayer and the soapy water out...

I'm not 100% sure what it was set to when it first misbehaved. I was parked up outside the Scout Hut unloading some tents to dry! There is a known problem in the vicinity with remote locking interference - the optimist in me thinks someone has a device which is accidentally causing...

So last night I locked the doors manually one at a time, then locked the drivers door with the key and used the remote to set the alarm. This morning I drove to the shop, got out, and out of habit pressed the "lock" button on the remote. All the doors locked (apart from the boot door, which...

Sudden onset problem today (straight after jet-washing it if thats likely to have affected anything). Central locking does the following: Remote - does nothing to the central locking but does seem to set and unset the alarm Drivers door Key - locks and unlocks drivers door only. Intermittently...

Hi Russell Welcome to the loonyzone! I'm sure @neilly will be along in a moment to check that you've got the EKA code for it!!! You may have more luck posting in the wanted forum (you do need to have a post count of 50 first though, so get posting!) Got any photos of the Disco as it is at the...

I use the OS Maps App on my phone. Its an annual subscription of around £19 but gives full access to 1:25 and 1:50k maps of the UK on any device i sign in on. I tend not to mark my route, although you can save routes. Instead, i have a route in mind, maybe marked on a printout, but then use...

I managed around 2000 miles with a 1p coin sat on the side steps of the disco... including quite a lot of bumpy off road stuff... only disappeared quite recently (probably a result of driving through a ford)

On my 4th First was a 200tdi L-registered rot box... bought it for about £500 BIG mistake buying it, but good fun off road. When MOT time came 6 months later, I was faced with a long list of jobs that needed doing and no facilities to do any of it myself. Decided I was better off selling it and...
