Thread: What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

Sounds like you're driving a Defender!

Particularly when you raise the rails to get the seat over the seat box lip/bulkhead for more leg room.

So you must also be a normal height person in an ocean of short arses.

Hahaha, yep, with stupid long pins!

Cleaned out side and cleaned the map sensor as after changing the maf my fuel economy has not improved but the lag on start up has disappeared
There was a fair bit of crud on the map and after reinstalled I think it feels a lot better but could be a mind thing

That's a pretty decent photo, taken and posted from my phone.

Bump for Pedro, 16s or 18s?

Previously when the GPS showed 100 the speedo indicated a needle width above 100, now at the same GPS display the speedo reads 105.
Overall I'm pleased with the 16s.

Nice mate...they look familiar for some reason Cheers!

The 16's suit the D2 very well and add nicely to ride compliance on road and ability offroad. Cheers
