I own a Disco 2 and find the sunroof is not much help in keeping out the

Anyone ever done or have anythoughts about securing a cubby box over a
center seat battery box?  Trying to fit secure storage in the
Lightweight and being 24v she has the battery bay between the seats.
I don't need access to the batteries often so I am thinking with some

Was wanting a Td5 but I've just bought a van, which leaves the budget a
bit short to stretch to a Td5 (sadly a Disco wasn't realistically big
enough to be used as a 'van' as well so I have had to split the budget

I was going to fit some Fairey free wheel hubs to my SWB 2a. but I found the
FWHs are 24spline, and my front stub shafts are 10spline.
However, I also have a spare pair of 24spline stub shafts. Are they

For the last few weeks I've been helping my father look for a Disco 3
privately. We've seen plenty around in the likes of autotrader/local
papers. He's looking to spend around £26k/£28k on one (an SE or HSE
post 05 plate) and at that money I'm a little concerned that any

I seem to be throwing out a fair bit of blue/grey smoke from my 300 Tdi
under heavy acceleration, puffs a bit out at startup too. Having not had one
before is this normal or is there something needing attention?
It has done 140k miles with a good service history, recent oil change ...

luck.  Is an external aerial version essential?
Thanks

'laboured' I reckon the thing is f.cked, given it was in the garage on
Friday & he cleaned up the terminals etc.
