[Bumper and Light Upgrade - Post 02 Disco 2]

Personnally I have seen some rather nice looking D2 heavy duty bumpers on ebay and the like with built in fog lights like those on the later facelifted D2's. So I would go for that as I doubt there will be much difference in cost and you will get all the benefits of the HD bumper.

Cheers

When I get the funds together I'll be going for one of these:

I visited when I was near them on holiday. Very helpful folk.

Torque Performance http://www.tp4x4.co.uk/ have one in development for the Discovery 2. They might be willing/able to do you one for the Discovery1. Their front ones are very nice. They're very helpful, give them a call.

[Air-con not cool!]

What sort of vent temperature should one expect?

Niamh

I've heard 6 degrees mentioned.

p.s. Thank you both for your helpful comments, I will arrange a regassing and see if that helps.

I'd be interested to hear if it does help because I have the same symptoms.

Thanks

[off road tyre pressures]

hi the folks,im dave ive recently joined the forum as ive bought a discovery for a bit of fun off road,i was wondering what kind of tyre pressure should i be using offroad ive purchased insa sahara 235 65 16s with a max rating of 34 -36psi,i have them set at 28 psi allround for normal driving,could anyone advise me if this is correct as it feels better at 28 than 30,any comments would be appreciated :)many thank newbie dave

Hi Dave

I have Insa Saharas 235/70R16 on my TD5 Discovery2. When I run them on the road I have them at 30 front and 38 rear. I experimented a wee bit starting at the recommended 28F/38R. I would put the rear up to 40psi if I felt comfortable going that much above the max on the sidewall. Off road I lower them as far as 20psi. They work very well when this low.

Hope this helps.

[wierd brake behaviour D2]

ok thanks for letting me know!!

Both phenomena are in the "they all do that sir" category. Mine certainly does both and has since I've owned it.

The noise on startup is the ABS testing itself. There's lots of chat on the Discovery Owners' Club Forum (and others - probably on here, in fact) about it.

There's less chat about the "firmer pedal on second press" but I've seen enough on the Discoweb forum (http://www.discoweb.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4) to reassure me that it is common and not worth worrying about. I believe LandRover sorted it at some point, maybe when the Discovery2 was facelifted?

[discovery ll suspension lift]

i want to lift my disco ll by about 2 inches, it has air springs on the back which i intend to keep for now. is there a kit to lift the back with air springs. also can't seem to find any 2" longer shocks for the disco ll. if i keep the standard length shocks surely they will bottom out?

any help would be great

also can't seem to find disco parts website. is it still open?

Discoparts stopped trading towards the end of last year.

There are kits available. I did a very quick Google search but didn't find any from the UK. There's plenty from the States. Old Man Emu seem to do one, so an OME dealer like Devon 4x4 may be able to get them.

Are you a member of the Discovery Owners Club? There's a few regular posters on their forum who have lifted their air-sprung Discoveries.

Cheers

[Wolf wheels]

As stated in the subject. I have some wolf rims, that I'd like to use for winter tires. But will they fit my D2?

/tony

They won't fit. Different BCD I believe. But the Genuine Discovery2 steel wheels look very similar (on US forums they call them "NATO wheels".)

[van sides fitted]

I think it looks ok with the white sides

Me too.
