Hi, Please excuse my ignorance. I have an automatic Discovery 2 and would like some information on the following: 1) High/Low Gears: a) How do the High/Low gears work? b) When should the respective gears be used? c) Are there any conditions/limitations that should be followed when using them? 2) Can I shift the gear stick between D, 1, 2, and 3 WITHOUT stopping the vehicle? Cheers.

Hi, Had the Discovery checked at the garage and they concluded after clearing the codes that there is a slight play in the ‘exciter ring’ due to corrosion which throws the senor. Just for some technical info: 1) Is the ‘exciter ring’ made of aluminium? 2) Is it ‘compression fitted’ to a steel component in the hub? 3) If the exciter ring is compression fitted, can corrosion cause play to the exciter ring? 4) Can there be a possibility that there is a chemical reaction between the materials from the excited ring and the mating component – caused due to environment (atmosphere)? 5) My warranty does not cover corrosion, therefore, could corrosion be the cause of this component failure? Thanks.

Hi David Sparkes - I am not intending to purchase any equipment, I was just trying to see if the main dealer kit was superior to kits used by garages. Thanks.

By 'Commercial Diagnosis', I meant the kit used by garages that are not main dealers. I was wondering if main dealer diagnosis kits are better than those used by garages.

Is there a difference between the genuine Land Rover Test Book used by main dealers and the Commercial Diagnosis computer used by garages.

Yesterday I experienced central locking/alarm problems on my Discovery 2 year 2000 V8 petrol. That issue resolved by itself and then a new problem appeared where the dash showed a flashing 'P' and flashing crossed 'D', when the key was in position 2 and also when the engine was started. The symbols were still present when I changed gears. I could not see any information about the flashing and crossed 'D' in the handbook? Please advise.
