Hi, After having 2 Disco 2 V8s the last one I stripped out and ran as a van I'm pretty conversant with all the problems that afflicted the MkII. I had to convert the last one back and sell it on as the fuel bills were crippling me and bought a van, which is more practical, cheap to run but mind...

Hi, Still in love with my Supercharged Vogue SE but would like to do something with the radio/satnav/cd player. It all works fine but is getting a bit long in the tooth and I would like a modern unit with Bluetooth, usb and all those other nice things. I fitted a nice Dynavin unit in my old 2003...

Hi, I've got a 2007 4.2 supercharged which is fantastic but I'm having an issue with the driver door window. When the window is opened all the way and then shut it will often run on the wrong side of the door A post seal, when the window gets to the top of it's travel it is then massively...

Hi, I was having the same problem, turned out to be the rf receiver in the roof. Took it out and all corroded. Bought a good one on ebay and changed it over. Fantastic now.

Hi, whilst I love my V8 disco 2 ES on a smooth billiard table flat road, I'm finding normal driving on current pockmarked, potholed roads becoming unbearable. The car seems to crash into every minor road imperfection with larger poor sections of road making the whole car shudder and shake...

Hi and apologies if this has been posted before. Car locks and unlocks on the key fob but I have to put the key hard up against the window or jam it into the door gap to get the receiver to see the signal. I've changed the batteries in both fobs but its still the same. Is the receiver at fault...

So, not used the disco in a while and as it lay sad and neglected on the drive I decided to get it running, clean it up and use it on our camping trip next weekend. Battery recharge and a clean had it looking and sounding lovely, a quick run round the block, hmm running a bit warm but topped up...

:( When I were a lad I used to walk that far to my school, all the year round up to the age of 11. I'm sure you did norseman as did I back in the 70s, but as my wife is the Head Teacher it is probably not practical to walk with 3 classes of marked books, a laminator, and laptop under your arm.

As the owner of a 4.2 supercharged I can only say that it is by far and away the best car I have ever owned. It is supremely quiet and refined and the power delivery is quite astonishing. The brakes being massive Brembo items haul the car up with no drama from any speed. My car has now done 130k...

Hi, I had the same problem many years ago and it turned out to be the ecu in the A post (windscreen post/channel) on the passenger side. As well as the horn going off the air suspension wouldn't work and the car wouldn't start. Easy to find, take the trim off and the ecu is close to the floor...

Yes I thought the downstream sensors only checked the catalyst performance. The fault comes up as an under voltage condition or missing signal, stupidly I forgot to copy down the exact fault code. It's just a cheap code reader and resetting device but seems to do the job. We had an issue over...

Hi, After another year of fantastic trouble free motoring in our 2007 4.2 Supercharged Rangie it was time for the MOT this morning. It passed but only just, with a couple of advisories for front brake discs and pads, lower track control arm and the rear brake pipes needing to be done it really...

Just a shout out to anyone who might be going from Accrington to Birmingham this week. Need a bonnet from an A Class Merc picking up from a breakers and dropping off in Birmingham. Happy to pay for fuel, tea and biscuits. Many Thanks Ian

Hi, The old Beastie has been running great with a recent French trip of 1500 miles, though occasionally it has been a little reluctant to start. When turning the key you would sometimes get nothing just a click, then try again and it bursts into life. We've had a couple of strange starter motor...

Hi wondering if anyone can help with my problem. I've had occasion to have to turn very sharp right and uphill at low speed (on a camp site) After completing the turn a very loud Thump Thump can be heard and felt through the car as though a tyre had become deflated on each wheel rotation. I...

Oh my God...really?.... I am such a ****. :(

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this. I drive my D2 V8 everyday for work and never look at the milometer, mostly because it's obscured by the steering wheel. Today when refueling I thought I would reset the odo as I was going on a decent run and thought I would check my mpg. I was...

In the real world my S/c 2007 gives us 16mpg with the wife using it everyday to school about 2 miles down the road. However, last weekend I took my son down to Malvern for his Bronze D of E expedition and we averaged 28mpg driving steady. After having driven diesels over the last few years...

Hi, Hope someone can help, have searched the forums to no avail. Was down in Beautiful Devon Camping over the Bank Holiday weekend. When pulling out of the site fully loaded, 5 adults, dog, roofbars with tents and camping gear on, there was a really loud knocking and thumping dull vibration...

Bemble, many thanks for your reply. I know he has tested the box in situ with the pan and valveblock / mechatronic off and declared it good. Should I now be insisting the solenoids are replaced or the electrical part of the mechatronic, does the ecu give problems or is it a case of it works or...
