    New ECU and now getting 135 MPH

    As it's a diesel, the pump governor would kick in long before 135 mph was seen on the speedo. I recon a Disco has the wind resistance of a barn, so it would have to be shoving out more power than a Ferrari F1 to get it any where near 135 mph, that's if the engine and gearbox wasn't in...

    D2 Facelift Headlights stolen too.

    " I do entertain dreams of razor blades smeared with dog poo araldited under the lights just where they get hold of the lights to tug them out. But then I have to ask myself the following:- Do I want to do some work under there in a few months and forget about them - Ouch! Do I want some...

    this might sound daft but!

    Aye, one of the reasons I had mine chipped. It has more go at less throttle now, no need to chase the rev counter. As for the "noise", when first started, many diesel engines sound like they are trying to escape from the engine bay, but go quietER when warm. Regards Phil*

    American GBR CDL Kit

    Aye, that's what I read, a bit awkward but possible. I suppose the one thing that may be "bad" about the electric CDL selector jobby , if you are a keen off roader water or mud ingress may in time ruin it. Regards Phil*

    American GBR CDL Kit

    Hi, Any one fitted the American GBR CDL kit to their Disco. Seems very easy to fit as it does not require the centre console gearstick/hi-lo unit to be removed to gain access. Regards Phil*

    More Sun Roof Woes

    Oh dear, not content with leaking, the front sunroof now decides not to work at all. It just makes a clicking sound when the electric button is pressed. I do not imagine there is any manual way of operating an electric roof, is there?. I also imagine the "electric" bits are under the head...

    More CDL Questions.

    Hi Guys, more daft questions coming. 1) Is the little stub of the CDL that protrudes from the transfer box splined, keyed or does it have a flat on it. Just thinking out loud how the replacement cable end fastens onto said stubby shaft. 2) I see a couple of vids on that there U tube that...

    Centre Diff Lock

    Hi Guys, If the Disco is put over a pit, is it possible to see the Centre Diff Lock shaft that LR kindly omits to put the linkage on for us. And to anyone who has coupled this little bugger up, what is the cost of the new selector lever and cable please. I have had a scout around the...

    Bloody car mechanics

    Aye, there are some robbers out there, main dealers included. Found a local Mechanic to do my work. Removed the EGR, fitted the replacement kit, (one bolt broke, not enough penetrating fluid maybe, had to be drilled out) changed both engine oil filters, diesel filter, air filter, new engine...

    Two Square Bars, Under Front Bumper?.

    As it says on the tin. My 2000 Td5 Disco has two, inch and a half? square box section under the front bumper pointing forwards, about a foot and a half apart. I assumed these were for a Bull Bar or A Bar to fit on, but on looking closer they have plastic/rubber stops inserted into the ends. Also...
