Ok, I'll try that, thanks.

The temperature light has come on on my 1999 TD5 Disco 2. Temperature needle stuck at bottom and doesn't move. Any recommended next steps, I've checked oil water etc and all seems fine. Car running fine too. I'm a bit paranoid as last time this happened I ignored it for a while and ended up...

My 99T TD5 is a bit sick, just now. (Bought last May, I've had 30000 pretty much trouble free miles - and loads of fun.:)) So I'm looking for advice on whether to get all the work now required done, or sell for what I can and move on. The issue started with an occasional rise in temp. and loss...

I have been told I need a new bearing in the front offside wheel. I trust the mechanic, so I'm sure I do! He tried to source new bearings, but has now been told that you cannot buy / replace just the bearing, but need the whole hub assembly from land rover for around £300, which includes the ABS...

A couple of days ago while driving on the motorway the TC, HDC and ABS lights all came on. There seems to be no effect on the braking or performance of the car. Has anyone else had this. How could I test / tell whether of not TC is working? 1999 Disco TD5

Thanks for your advice. I spoke to a friend defender tonight, who thought it might be the prop shaft balancing weight.

This problem has started today for me big time. For over 2 hours nothing would turn the key. Tried WD40 and 3 in 1 spray oil. Eventually it turned, and I could move it very easily. But when I remove the key, then try to turn it again 30 seconds later it is stuck fast again? I've seen mention...

Thanks for replying. I'll see if I can get it checked out. Can anyone recommend a Land Rover specialist in Glasgow / Ayrshire area?

Hi just got myself a 99 Disco TD5, 93000 miles. There's quite a lot of vibration through the gearstick pretty much all the time. i.e. you wouldn't want to hold onto it too long. Is this normal? Worst between 40-60 mph, much smoother at 70. Could it just be the tyres. All 4 are matching...
