    The Joys Of Land Rover Ownership

    they certainly do get under your skin my 1st LR was a disco 1, I got to drive it with a big smile on my face for a little over a week before the cylinder head gave in, £1400 later and I got it back but it wasn't the same, when it was time for its MOT I was quoted £900 for the welding that was...

    Thanks guys, I've never even heard of a crank damper so I shall look into that, hope the glow plugs are fine as she starts on the button what ever the temp.

    Why did you buy a disco!!

    I had a 300tdi which was great while it lasted, but needed rebuilding and as I needed transport for work I had to let it go, 3 or 4 cars later and nothing filled the void, so it was time for another Landy in the family, I must admit it was a fender I wanted but having seen some horror stories...

    Thats great thanks, never thought about that, I'll try your suggestion today and fingers crossed I was thinking it could be water ingress (hard to believe in a Landy I know) affecting wiring somewhere but can't think where its still getting power from with the ignition off. Thank you very much...

    Disco II Air suspension – the definitive guide
