Disco 74mph Beep

Feb 05, 2005 7 Replies

My 95 300tdi Disco emits a beeping noise at 74mph and above. Its obviously some kind of speed warning device, but I've never come across anything like it before. The handbook does not mention it. Any ideas what and where it may be. Its damned annoying and coming out if I can find it.


I think the Saudi Discoverys have that? Is it from Saudi ?

Not as far as I'm aware. I pretty certain its a UK car.

I've not got the V5 back yet so I won't know if its an import, but I don't remember seeing anything like that on the document check. I know one of the former owners and he says that there is a rumour that the vehicle was initially on the Sandringham fleet.

That explains it then. It was clearly one of Princess Anne's! TonyB

As in bleeping out the expletives?

I've seen this on a disco belonging to a friend of mine, it was a little black box located behind the lower trim panel on the drivers side, near the fuse box if memory serves me right. He mumbled something at the time about foreign spec.... I removed the box, dismantled it, and removed the beeper/buzzer unit! There was another reason why the unit had to remain intact and connected, something to do with the immobiliser maybe? Sorry, I can't remember more than that. Badger.
