If your happy that you've bled the system correctly and your calipers are ok and it still does it, then think about your front shocks, also on mine the front offside coil spring had snapped but the way it remained seated wouldn't have given you any clue to this when you looked at it from the...

Does your Land Rover specialist have a courtesy car? If your best option now is to put the work their way and you're local then ask if they will collect your car and drop off the courtesy car at the same time. If they want or need the work in this financial climate they may go that extra mile to...

Peter, If that gives you peace of mind and you've got the money there's no problem with that. Unfortunately for me I have a cynical mind and have already learned at my own expense that Land Rover like to take parts and commonly available service items, then place their name on them so they can...

Why wouldn't you use Dexron fluid in the ACE and PAS, my ACE system was flushed through several times over with Dexron 3 until i was able to stop the leak as I described. It's all run fine since for about 15,000 miles now. Where in the reservoir is the filter ? I don't remember seeing one.

Hello all Disco owners, i havn't been on the forum for some time so I hope i'm typing in the right place. I spent a small fortune on my 02 Disco in the last year but also saved alot by ignoring Landrover dealer advice and doing jobs myself, learning as i went. I've got a fairly long list good...
