Since my last reply to this thread I have also found intermittent periods where the Garmin Overlander is locking me out of the web based planning system. If you actually look on the webpage it states that the Overlander is no longer supported. I’m guessing the replacement is the tread...

So. The Overlander is no longer supported on the app. You can still use the web browser to plan and plot routes, but not the app on the phone. It is not compatible with any of the reversing cameras anymore, and is in a standalone position with anything else that could support it. From what I...

UK Landrover Discovery 2 TD5. Wild R battery tray on near side (left/passenger side) rear of engine bay. The grey box that you can see as well is part of the Victron monitoring unit.

The other option is just to use a Wi-Fi link to synchronise, as with the Overlander it’s all based online

I've had a variety of projects on my 2002 Discovery 2 TD5, and the latest batch have started just after Lockdown. I did previously have a large boot box that could be folded out to make a sleeping platform but wanted something a bit more suitable to my needs, so got something else. A seperate...

Looks like Garmin have now released to the Tread series. Which is similar to the Overlander, and they’ve done a similar thing that which they did with the Dezl series. It’s not compatible with the Explore app, they’ve given it a fresh app called tread. It has a built-in ‘in reach’ thing, and...

Although I note that with the Garmin Montana 700 series you can get 1:25k and 1:50k OS Topo maps in the UK but you can't get it for the Overlander :( I suspect it is because the Overlander is using the Android architecture and the Montana is using the previous OS, which I think was MS WM6 or so.

Hiya I have come into this the other way along. I have been using a 7" Garmin Truck SatNav (Dezl 780, 560 and LGV700 in that order). I previously had a Snooper TruckNav but over time that got worse for me. So I upgraded to a Garmin and I've travelled over 400,000 kilometers over 5 years with...

I have a CTEK D250S mounted under the bonnet (hood?). It is on the drivers side (offside/right) behind the brake/clutch servo I think. UK spec vehicle. I can provide photos but it doesn't get too hot there and I've not had any problems. It was in my last D2, and I've had this one now for 3-4...

My niece in Woombye, QLD. Part of the family emigrated a few years back. A visit opened my eyes to options. My brothers’ family in Wales in Autumn. Whilst not far off the beaten track, it is still a lovely part of the country, and the colours can be quite stunning. Perhaps more stunning...

When mine was designed, and built. I specifically requested that it could be removed so low, and the guy managed it. The sections I held together using hinges and removable pins. The top and bottom pieces are the largest and heaviest yet I can still manage them on my own.

Yep. I think as a minimum that needs to be done, but considering the cost of it, I might go with having the gearbox done as well. After all, it is 15 years old lol. I know series Land Rover is went longer without a gearbox change, but that was a different standard they were made too.

Less than 6 months ago the oil was changed using the proper MTF and done at a land rover place.

Sooo The thrust bearing on the clutch is noisy first thing in the morning, or when I start driving after it's been sat a while. I try and minimise where it would be an issue, but it's still quite noisy and is getting more and more frequent. Noisy when the clutch is pressed in and holding the...

Was the boot storage something you bought or built ?

The battery in an ammo tin was basically measuring a golf cart or mobility scooter battery to see what I could get then setting it on its side and giving it fuses/connections/charge points. Pretty easy considering... Moving away from those setups now though :o ;)

Hiya Well. With my previous vehicles I have had a semi-permanent installation, only removing them when the vehicle has left me. My FT8800 (second hand when I picked up my M6 licence) survived 3 cars; but with the arrival of Rose, my D2 XS, I decided on another radio. My 2e0 licence allows me up...

Workshop manual direct from publisher ? 60 uk pounds brand new ;)

Looks a good setup ; ) and if it does whst you want and how you want it then so be it. Did your two legged freind want feeding ;)

I've been using OsmAnd. Works ok, not the best but cheap to free. You can get contour info too...
