    Can DII driver's seats be moved to accommodate tall or short people?

    Beyond the controls, do you have a choice as to how you install a DII seat, such as back a bit on the rails for a tall driver or very forward on the rails for a short driver? (And then the controls provide finer adjustments from there.) Or, are those suckers fixed?

    Pics of Evoque in Santa Monica, CA today

    Sorry about the unexpected popups ... I moved the pics to a hopefully less annoying site, PhotoBucket. (Did not see anything like what you saw when I actually posted them!) So anyway, regarding the Evoque ... not saying I'd buy one but the best food for thought on it that I've seen is in an...

    What if any Bluetooth built into D2s? (Also, who's outfitted an Android tablet?)

    Damn. That said, I plugged in the last six of a DII U.S. VIN and it still spit out information. I suppose I'll have to chalk that up to a web-programming flaw. Although I am, sadly, going to see if my iPhone will give me a pair code ... just in case.

    What if any Bluetooth built into D2s? (Also, who's outfitted an Android tablet?)

    Surfing the guts of Land Rover's site I came across a peculiar section that seems to insinuate that DIIs have Bluetooth for hands-free calls - there is a section for "Discovery" here: http://www.landrover.com/us/en/lr/owners/bluetooth/overview/ Is that true, or a lie? There's a section where it...

    So what brush guards do you like for an '04 DII?

    Thanks everybody for the thoughts on this thread. I need to study up and revisit, in a bit. I did find ... deep in the innards of Land Rover's site ... the guide sets for different options: http://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/content/document//lookup/select?groupId=181&cat=OWNER Has...

    Check out what HTC is doing in tablets. (They make a gorgeous Android phone, the Sensation on T-Mobile.) http://www.htc.com/us/products/tablets#/?view=1-1&sort=0 They have much more advanced ones also but the one at BestBuy is now $299 (was reportedly quite a bit higher before)...

    Pics of Evoque in Santa Monica, CA today

    This was at the Promenade ... the launch is Oct. 3, per the Land Rover U.S. site. That vehicle is growing on me, in retrospect. I mean, if you had to get a crossover.

    Movies with Land Rovers

    In "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" character Martin Vanger rolls a black D1 (IIRC, it's a D1 and not a 2) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1132620/ ... and no real damage visible. Seems like a lot of Northern European filmmakers using LRs ... that movie's Swedish. (The whole trilogy was great. I...

    Help out an 18"-wheel newbie

    So what brush guards do you like for an '04 DII?

    My '96 has them and they're, um, useful even in urban settings. The DII I have my eye on doesn't have 'em. What would you add?

    Help out an 18"-wheel newbie

    I'm going to ask stupid questions again. Here goes: - So if I get a DII with 18" wheels instead of my DI with 16" wheels, what happens to the 6'6" clearance that just barely gets me into my favorite parking garage? (Is this why they're off-road vehicles, because you can't find anyplace to park...

    03 or 04

    Robison Service has a blog on Rovers that reads like Medline for doctors, or offroad noir.

    If you had $18k to spend on a used SUV and love Land Rovers ... what other brands?

    Re: If you had $18k to spend on a used SUV and love Land Rovers ... what other brands? So I guess I should report back. I've thought about it. And thought about it. And drove a couple Range Rover HSEs. And they're cush. But I like them far less than the Discovery. *sob, what's wrong with me?!*...

    So if you buy from a private party and lender has the title... what do you do...?

    Disco that I may buy. (*Grumble* *grammar police*) :D It's a D2 that had been a dealer purchase.

    Disco web problems?

    I chalk it up to being a forum about Land Rovers. It's wonderful, just sometimes doesn't work. Restart, see what happens. Wait awhile. Sometimes it fixes itself and is just an errant computer code. :D
