Ok let's start with the easy one. The coolant tank works on a density. As you have topped up over time slowly you have changed the ideal 50/50 mix of coolant towards 100% water. When you get the check coolant it's probably because you have the wrong mix now. The air suspension has gone...

Thanks he's giving it a go now. He has reported that it moves up and down ok and is currently at normal ride height. Do the discos have an air reservoir like the range rovers or are they simply an on demand system from the compressor?

Hi Guys My Dad has an issue with his TD5 air compressor. He has changed his hand break shoes (pig of a job) and now his compressor won't stop running. He used the suspension to help lift the car to get extra clearance under while doing the hand break. Now he's finished the compressor...

As with a lot of owner on here we all love to keep our cars running and looking their best. A lot of us have the confidence to tackle everything from minor maintenance to full rebuilds, but there are very few who feel happy tackling paint work, chips and scratch's. It’s a daunting thought that...

Cheers Guys, Could anyone recommend a good etch primer in an aerosol?

Hi Guys My wing mirrors have quite a bit of corrosion on their base's. I plan to remove them and clean up an re-spray. Are the base's painted or powder coated? once i have them off the car and the old coating sanded off what's the best way to clean them up? Can they just be painted...

Now my next few days off are booked in with changing the brakes and renewing the caliper seals i think it would be a good time to start tackling the under body rust. Nothing major just surface rust but want to get it sorted before waxoiling the whole car. I plan to wire brush then coat with...

I have a KME on my 4.4 and have no problems. Take it to a LPG fitter and they will sort the switch over temp for you. Not sure where you are but the guy i used is great and he's a KME supplier and installer. Had an idle prob with mine and 2mins on his laptop and it was sorted.

Thats great. Will the OBD2 cable work to look at the data from his disco? Where abouts is Mike? Does Mike do engine chipping? My Dad been complaining of quite low MPG and was wondering if something might need tuning.

Hi Guys, Ive just purchaced the OBD2 cable off the bay for use with my RR. Can the same cable be used on my dads disco2? Also is there a place to download any softwear to use to calibratethe suspension? My dad needs to change a ride height sensor but doesnt want to change it and bollox up the...

Clay bar takes the paint back to being smooth like a baby's bum. That's req for the best shine. The orbital polisher is like a grinder but uses soft pads. Cutting pad and finishing pads are just how course/hard the pads are. They are use with the polishs to remove the fine swirls in the paint...

Steve Glad it worked. The garage put it down to a low bat causing a conflict of errors Taking the fuse out just resets and clears the conflicts and away you go.

Hi Guys, Came out of work tonight and fired up the beast. Temp was reading -0.5C but as i went through the key positions the dreaded display pinged up "HDC Inactive" & "Air suspension inactive" . Reversed out the space and turned the car off, though i would have to do "lock to lock" to clear...

Smiles Lucky for me it didn't cost a penny to fix as was under warranty. However it took a while to find the problem so would have cost a bit. The way they sorted it was to pull fuse 49 I think. Anything satnav related and left it 10mins. Fuse back in an all the faults disappeared. They put it...
