How do I know if a D2 has ACE?

By just looking at the power steering reservoir, you can't necessarily tell if there is ACE or not.
The Series 2A V8 Disco has a power steering reservoir but does NOT have the 2nd cap for ACE. You can do as previously mentioned and check for the hydraulic ram on the drivers side, look for the ACE pump, or watch if there is a ACE light that does a self test when starting the vehicle.
Cheers.

This would be it here in the first photo?

the shot showing the power steering and ACE fluid bottle, it looks like it has ACE - i.e 2 filler caps and 2nd one seems to have the little tilting car icon on it indicating its the ACE reservoir

BTW the ace light icon thing on the start up test, its a little car icon with 2 curved arrows pointing across and curving down on either side of it, it will appear for a few seconds when you first turn the key

What blue thing?

Only 1 brake line, the other is the ABS line.

All said, judging by the res bottle under the bonnet, it does have ACE.

so its supposed to just hang there?

Thats the fuel filter. It's mounted pretty solidly and generally doesn't get knocked - but I have done it. :(
