    Got one!

    I finally picked up my Discovery 2 today. Only a week late after the dealer tried to fix the central locking and ended up replacing everything to get it to work. I drove it home from Gosford and it drives beautifully, nice and quiet after the Defender. The transmission mode switch doesn't work, but did when we test drove it, so will pull it apart tomorrow.

    A few questions:

    * The rear windows only go half way down, is this normal?
    * There is a switch where the coin tray normally is, marked IN/OUT, what does it do?
    * There is no cargo blind in the back, but it looks like it had one, where can I get one?
    * I got no owners manual, are these available on line, or does anyone have a spare?
    * Did all seven seaters have rear air conditioning?

    Pictures tomorrow.

    congratulations
    A few questions:

    have a look at the shape of the door, they cannot go any further down.
    * There is a switch where the coin tray normally is, marked IN/OUT, what does it do?
    * There is no cargo blind in the back, but it looks like it had one, where can I get one?
    there are plenty of these around, ask here in markets.
    * I got no owners manual, are these available on line, or does anyone have a spare?
    as above

    Pictures tomorrow. hurry up!

    Auto mode question...Are your M and S lights on when you turn the ign switch on?
    Mine wern't and no mode..had reverted to manuel mode,might have changed when the locking bits were done.
    Had help from here with a nanocom

    In and out switch...maybe for a winch? Can't think of any thing else.

    Air cond...I think the rear was an option but others may know more.
    Cheers, Kyle

    Damn!

    I will crawl under tomorrow to see if the CDL is attached to the switch.

    Can you lower the rear suspension or only raise it?

    Thanks fatman, that's what I wanted to read.

    Is there a way to make the SLS lower without having a remote?

    Making SLS lower

    Short answer is NO, I bought the remote from Gympie Land Rover Spares for just over $200 and works fine.
    Regarding rear AC, I have an S model 2004 2a and no rear aircon, so it must have been an option.

    Hey Brian. That SLS remote.

    Does it work to both raise & lower ??

    Does the engine need to be running for it to work ??

    My 04 D2a (7 seats) has rear A/C ... shown on the options list as an option. Worth every penny. Chills the inside down really quickly with both front & rear a/c on.

    Kev..
