    Help!! Loose Rear Seats

    I had the same problem on my 2002. There was a posting about 18 > 24 months ago here on Disco Web regarding this issue and a person replied with a fix using parts supplied via Land Rover. I will see if I can find the original post and if not I may still have the original part numbers somewhere...

    Annoying Rattle

    This may be a little weird but ... I recently replaced the brake pads on all four wheels. All was well except there was this metalic rattle/banging noise (sounds like someone banging a wrench against the axle) under the left rear when I went over rough roads, small pot holes, etc. I checked...

    vibration when heat/ac is on high

    Just to add to the prior reply. Pull the fan motor (easy to do) and check for mice. I had a family of mice move in to the entire ventilation system. The first symtom was the vibrating fan motor (clogged with nest material), quickly followed by a REALLY foul smell. I had to have the entire...

    Problem - Wind Noise With Full Length Flooring on an SD Rack

    To all those who have replied so far, thank you. I think I will try a couple more experiments based on the suggestions. I will check out a simple/quick air dam over the very front-middle of the rack (where the source of the noise seems to be). I will also try the same approach over the open...

    Problem - Wind Noise With Full Length Flooring on an SD Rack

    Mike, the SD rack was installed the first week I owned the Disco so I do not have a point of reference regarding the racks impact on mileage. Currently (with only the rear floor section in place, no rack lights) I get 12-13 mpg around town and 14-15 on the freeway. My guess is that the rack...

    Problem - Wind Noise With Full Length Flooring on an SD Rack

    Tire Question

    Ken, I have 245/75 16 BFG MT's on my 2002 Disco II with stock 8"x16" wheels and have not had any problems. I was concerned about this size tire on an 8" rim and checked with Paul Barsanti at Land Rover Redwood City (Calif) who participated in the Trek competitions. He said the Trek Discos...

    Land Rover adventure rack & a ski and snow board rack

    I have attached a pair of Thule bars with ski and snow board carriers to the Safety Devices rack. I 'recycled' a pair of Thule bars with general purpose mounts from a earlier Suburban setup. The general purpose (not model specific) mounts 'wrap' around the SD tubes and are very secure. I...

    Roof Rack Flooring

    Will, Nice to find a local Rover person (Aptos is a bit small !). No, I don't belong to the Nor Cal group. I have thought about joining but just haven't make the leap. Send me an email at rkurk@cruzio.com when you get a minute and let me know about your Rover. I can also provide more...

    RIM width and tire size question..

    I have BF Goodrich MT's 245/75 - 16's mounted on factory 16x8 wheels (on a 2002 Discovery II) and have had no problems to date on road or off road. For what's it worth, Rover sets up their Rover Trek competition Discovery's with 245/75 - 16's on 16x8's and I can assume that they would have...

    Roof Rack Flooring

    I have a Safety Devices rack and have used a homemade floor successfully, although there is some work to make it. I purchased 3/8" MDO plywood which has a very smooth surface (both sides) of a hard "paper" (more like formica) material. It is easy to cut and work with basic hand and power...

    I am considering buying protection for the front differential on my 2002 Disco (no ACE) and am interested if anyone has experience with the Southdown front axle guard, which covers the diff. and axle versus the Rovers North diff guard (covering the diff. only) ? From photos it appears that the...
