Hi All. I have a basic 5 seat 2004 Disco that I want to install a GPS unit. As I don't have any sunroof controls, the roof console has a blank that looks like it might be the perfect size for GPS screen. Has anyone tried installing a unit here, and is there a trick to removing the blank? I've...

Hey I know it's not a technical issue, but check out this camel attacking my Disco. The noise of it thumping away at my roof rack was quite disconcerting, and it tried to take a bite out of my CB aerial.

Recently I made a couple of posts regarding my preparation for a trip across the Simpson Desert, and the replies I received were most welcolme and helpful. I've now completed my trek and I've posted some photos from the trip at the address below...

I'm about to undertake a 3 week expedition-style trek through the Australian desert and will be purchasing 4 new tyres for the trip and using two of my old stock Michelin tyres as the spares. As the vehicle really does most of its daily driving around the city and I need a tyre that is good...

Hi All. I've posted this in the camping section, but given about 3 people a month read that section, I'm going to try posting here. I'm about to undertake a two and a half week extended trip crossing a fairly major desert. I'm going to have to be self-sufficient for at least 6-7 days of travel...

Hi All. I'm about to undertake a two and a half week extened trip crossing a fairly major desert. I'm going to have to be self-sufficient for at least 6-7 days of travel with no access to any supplies whatsoever. What I'm interested in are people's ideas for storage solutions for the back of...

Hi, I've just created a little website with some photos from various adventures around Australia in my Disco 2. The web address is; http://web.mac.com/gavanswift/iWeb/LR_Aventures/Welcome.html I hope you all enjoy the photos.

I recently had the 40,000km service on my 04 Disco, and I've now had the M & S lights flashing about 6-7 times. I know it is a gearbox fault, and after I turn the engine off, then back on again, it goes away. I'm going to take it to the dealer next week, but does anyone have an idea what the...

I saw some great new accessories on a new Disco3/LR3 last night. Not only was it fitted with the new ARB steel winch bar (with a winch installed) and driving lights, it had the brand new (I think this is the first car to be fitted) Kaymar replacement rear bumper with dual swingaway tyre...

I want to install a 12V cigarette lighter/accessory outlet in the engine bay of my 04 Disco to power my light, shower, etc... Does anyone have any smart ideas on where to fit the outlet? I'm planning on building a box with the outlet, a fuse and a switch. I already have a second battery...

Hi All, I was recently in the United States and noticed a lot of Disco 2's had these great spare wheel covers with animals from around the world. I would appreciate it if any of our American collegues on this board could let me know where I could get one of these spare wheel covers with a...

My factory fitted single CD/Radio machine in my 2004 Disco TD5 has a weird problem. From time to time it automatically switches itself to the radio channel on preset button 5. I think it may have something to do with interference from either my GSM mobile phone, or my garage door opener. It...

Hi Everyone, I'd like to get people's thoughts on my windscreen creaking problem. I had it replaced after it got cracked by a flicked-up stone. The new one was installed badly to begin with, but I had it taken out and re-installed properly. Now I get a horrible creaking noise from the top of...

I just broke my passenger side wing mirror (it suffered a heavy knock). The mirror housing seems OK, just the mirror broke, and fell off - only being held up by the heater cables. I've ordered a replacement mirror. Is there a trick to replacing the mirror, or is it just a matter of clipping the...

Recently my 04 TD5 Disco broke down when an auto transmission hose (the one that goes into the radiator) split - sending auto trans fluid all over the engine bay and under the car. This week, a friend of mine who also owns an 04 TD5 Disco had exactly the same problem. Has anyone else had this...

My 2004MY disco just suffered its first serious breakdown. It split the auto transmission hose that goes into the radiator. It didn't pop off, but split the hose about an inch from the connector on the radiator. Basically it happened while going down a steep hill, sending transmission fluid over...

I have noticed there are gaps in the door seals at the base on all 4 passenger doors on my 04 Diso that let water in during deep water crossings. Does anyone know of a remedy for these seals either to close them, or to temporarily block water entry? I had a tarp over the radiator to create a bow...
