Hi there
I'm looking for advice which I can use to direct a mechanic - I'm currently in Florence, Italy and will be for at least the next 12 months... I also know ZERO about the mechanics of my superb and loved disco..

My 1999 Discovery has developed a regular clunking sound under the front, nearside floor plate. I can hear and feel it when traveling straight and only between 30-40 mph.. I don't notice it when travelling faster. The body has dipped down over the FNS wheel arch too - about a 2 inch difference in height between the front wheels.

So, due to my complete lack of knowledge, I'm hoping I might receive advice which I can use to direct a local garage mechanic .. I'm also trying to not get ripped off with a huge garage bill...

One additional question - squeaky fan belt; I'm assuming if this happens it could be a bearing or belt replacement needed.. and that it needs taking apart to find out before diagnosis?

As you might tell, i'm s*** scared of ballsing up, ending up with huge bills...:boom:

Many thanks in advance!

Daniel
