Or truely insane or does that only apply if you have more than three!! 🤣

I knew series and defender drivers did/do it but in the years I have been driving Range Rovers and Discoveries it is only, I would say, in the last 12 months that it has happened to me. Maybe I have only just noticed it however I am an LR freak and there is no way I could have missed it. Am always happy to wave back but now nice to have that cozy Land Rover cameraderie.

While out and about I have been waved at by other Discovery 2 drivers. I have now started to do this back but is this just local or is it everywhere? Most of the cars doing it seen to be a little more tricked up than standard landies.

For a 17 year old it was a nice motor. I would appreciate it more now than I did then.

Right now down to practicalities it is a Land Rover for the 21st Century so it it going to have 21st Century problems. How long before it breaks down because it doesn't have a Wifi connection. 🤣🤣🤣

My first car belonged to my great uncle who bought it new. When I got it it had 16000 on the clock. I ran it for two years and apart from an initial problem of sludge in the petrol tank I cannot remember anything major. I was luck to inherit it as my first car, a Corsair 2000E.

When car and trailers were required to have fog lights and the back the blue wire was used for the fog lights and for caravans there was the intoduction of a second 7 pin plug to take electrics for fridges and other powered accessories. The plugs have now been changed to 13 pin plugs.

Agree With 8000 on the clock the car is still new, easy to sort interior, screen and tyres for the MOT. He is crazy buying a new car when he hardly uses the one he has.

And by opening it the rain water is getting into the pan?

My guess is the air spring. I had one explode on me, on the motorway at Carlisle on my way home, to Glasgow. That tuned out to be a faulty sensor causing the bag to over inflate however this case the car was parked up and the engine off so I don't know how the sensor could cause the spring to over inflate.

I am sure everyone with a D2 knows about leaking sunroofs and hopefully understands the cause of the leak. A few years ago I fixed the common fault of the broken platic drain tube but still the sunroof leaked. The last few days we have had extreamly severe rain and I have left the sunroof open by accident a couple of time, usually have the roof open for ventilation for my hound. I have discovered, no pun intended, that with the sunroof open in extreme rain there is no leak and the headcloth is dry. Can anyone explain this to me as it seems at odds with the problem.

yes thanks

Tyre lever in the passenger door and prised open the top until I could get a wooden curtain rod in. Once it I have to hold the button for the boot release and then climbed in the boot.

unfortunately it is off.

Paul The owner is incommunicado and don't know when he will be back. I have had the car since March. All the other buttons are down and yes I have tried all the doors and the boot. It is currently in front of my trailer but if I need to move it I will attach my Disco to the front of it and tow it out of the way. THe handle does feel like it is connected.

I am looking after someone's L322 and it is currently parked in my field out of the way and doesn't really need moved often. Today I went to jump start it and left the key in the ignition and shut the door. When I went back to it to try and start it the doors were locked and I now cannot get into it. The button on the drivers door is up suggesting it is unlocked but the door handle isn't doing anything. Can anyone tell me how to get into this car or is it a case of putting a brick through the window?

Or fit air springs which will give you the choise of ride height and comfort as the need arises.

Filip The gearbox was more or less empty amd I left it 48 hours with the sump plug out. Didn't intend to leave it that long just happened that way. So I think I can safely say that the gearbox is now good to go. Only a few more problems to fix with the car and I can put it back on the road.

Progress Oil drained, sump off, filter changed, sump back on gearoil added and cycled gearbox three times with the third time the gearbox wanting to move the car. Next time I am back out I will do the final check of the level, one final cycle and then try and move the car. I take it that the movement of the car is evidence that the gearoil has reached the places that the gear oil needs to reach and that we are not far away from actually getting my car to drive.

A basic one but was the air flow into the turbo cleaned out? When I replaced the turbo on my D2 it was fueled by oil in the intercooler causing the engine to over rev.

Have the kit and oil to to service the box on my 4.6 P38. When I look at the service book it says the capacity of the gearbox in 11.5 litres. When I look at the sump it doesn't look like it has the capacity to take all of that oil. I am guessing that the oil capacity is therefore distributed amongst the gearbox, torque converter and sump. If that is the case then I am also guessing that the gearbox needs topped up with the engine running. Can someone give me the procedure in a simple list please? Thanks.

Do any of us running a V8? The solution is LPG. I am a big fan of LPG and have run many RR's on it over the years. On the Disco 2 you have the option to run with sill tanks so you don't loost the boot capacity. While I remember the other thing to look for when cranking and not firing is a knackered fuel pump. In this unstance a couple to shape smacks to the fuel tank can sometimes restart it. Simon

I stand corrected. you are totally right the wings not the doors are notched. I don't have my car in front of me to look at it.

Dave you will be forever learning.

Enen I am not sure that you absoutely require the puller. I am sure the wheel comes off without it. The thread will be either M8 or M10 and a metal bar with a couple of holes at the right centres and some long bolts with nuts or threaded rod will do the same job.
