Hi all,
Well i am only 5 days into my disco ownership... and i am already making a list of 'things to do'
First on the list was my 'three light scenario' which has been diagnosed as a faulty abs sensor.... getting sorted on Mon.
Second was replacement of three various bulbs.. rear lights etc... no big deal
Third... and annoying... is that when i got the truck - erm Disco ,the air con seemed warm, so off to the garage and had system drained pressure tested and refilled..£40 squid and was lovely and cold for a day.
Today blowing warm again and getting that 'hissing sound' that i've heard before indicating low pressure.
Had a look in the familiar places and found that the receiver/drier appears to be leaking from the top. I put a UV light on it and confirmed.
Question is... is this a diy replacement, or due to nastyness of gas etc, am i better taking it back to the air con garage and getting them to sort? I know the drier is only cheap to replace but concerned with the gases.
I am puzzled why the leak was not detected when on the machine... i'm wondering whether its been like that for some time before buying, and the sudden pressure increase on the system may have blown a seal or something... its only weeping but enough to lose pressure over a few days
Will keep you posted with the outcome
Happy days
