Thread: What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

Trend is they are breaking into property to get the keys anyway although hard to believe anyone would want to steal one

Didn't get my auto serviced again. Booked in last week and got a call not to come as the machine had broken down. Rebooked for today and the machine doesn't have the right connection. Anyone know a part number for the connection, Muppet?

Did a tyre rotation and installed my new rotors and pads. Thanks Heather and Mario!

Tomorrow night comes the service and fresh oil and transmission fluid. Love driving the d2 after a service. It's quiet for about a week before the diesel clatter comes creeping back. Or maybe it's just my subconscious - the sound probably doesn't change at all

I went sheep mustering in mine
I was asked if I could give a hand to move a mob of sheep from one property to another ( about 15k's) and instead of taking the Hilux ute I took the disco.
The paddock that the sheep were in had a lot of contour banks in it which were a lot of fun to negotiate and the road we took the sheep down was unfenced on one side and was covered in scrub so it also made it interesting keeping the mob out of that.
With the Disco being an auto I didn't forever have to use the clutch like I would on the Hilux and the ride over the paddocks and through the bush was Waaaaaay more comfortable.
Now all I have to do is clean all the dust and sheep poop off the Disco

No, no, and no for mine. A speed bump at Maccas and a 50mm step up to a driveway were 2 times I recall it triggered. All at low speed. I'm considering replacing it or bypassing it.

I would replace it, as its function is to cut the fuel in the event of an accident or roll over.

You could become very crispy if stuck in a seat belt with fuel being pumped out of a broken fuel hose.
