OK, I know what one switch for the electric seats does (moves / tilts the squab / base) and that the second switch tilts the back forward / backward, but what is supposed to happen if the backrest switch is moved up/down? It must be meant to do something more that make a feeble whirring...

Like lots of annoying vibrations, this is proving difficult to trace and so I'm hoping that someone with a Td5 Disco II might have experienced the same - and fixed it! In first gear - and only first gear - whilst letting the clutch out and adding a dab of power to move away there is a loud...

On Wednesday I started removing the level sensor on our Discovery. Engine off, wheels chocked. Before trudging off to the shed to get the axle stands, etc., I gave the sensor connector a quick prod with a screwdriver (so see how much mud and muck there was round it) and it came apart. With a...

Grrrr. I have one of those decisions from hell and can't make up my mind. I am waving my indecision in public in the hope I have missed part of the argument. Our 2003 Td5 has 90K on the clock, is generally in good nick and does everything we asked it to. Then the head failed (a crack...

I have just collected a fuel check valve kit from the local main stealer - like this: I'd expected it to have some form of moving bit to 'check' the fuel - I can see straight through it and can blow through it in both directions so how is it supposed to work? It looks like getting it...

I am having huge problems with air in the fuel system of my Td5. The car has had: A new FPR The fuel injector washers replaced New fuel filter Air flow meter One way valve on tank New fuel pump (x 2) Every fuel line checked ECU data checked Injector loom checked for oil (all clean) As soon...

Grrrrr. My wife's 2003 Td5 keeps cutting out. No warning symptoms or stuttering - it just dies. Luckily the events to date have been whilst travelling slowly, but it could be dodgy at speed. It has had two new fuel pumps and those copper injector seals have replaced but it keeps doing it...

Hi, A search found a few similar problems to this, but not an exact match: if I missed any, sorry; if not, here goes... My wife's 2003 facelift Disco 2 has a Harnon Kandon sound system. I have connected an 'intellimute' mute box to the ISO connections (speaker and head unit) and to the...

Hi, I have done a search but not found any threads that are a perfect match, so here goes... I recently replaced all the speakers in my wife's Freelander 1 (all of the coils were held in place by rust, so no wonder there wasn't much volume!) and removed the Harnon Kandon (?sp) amp from under...

Hi, The tailgate on my wife's 5 Dr '05 Td4 is misbehaving. With the door shut and the handle pulled, the glass drops from the channel and the door can be opened. With the door open, releasing the handle makes the glass pop up again, ready to be smacked into the outside of the channel when the...

Silly question (so standby with silly answers), but can anyone tell me what the left hand button/rod on the speedo of my wife's '05 Freelander is supposed to do? The right-hand one toggles between ODO and Trip readings and, if held in, resets the trip reading to zero. The left-hand one...

A quick question... On the Range Rover Classic, in which position should the headbolt with the stud be placed on the LH head? (Everything is in bits at the moment, so holding the lifting eye / steering pump in place doesn't help!) Thanks Hugh

Grrrr. Just discovered a hole in the corner of the passenger footwell next to the front of the bellhousing (by the clutch cylinder) in my Discovery 1. Its about the size of a 50p piece and would be difficult to get to (or see) with the engine in. Anyway, as it is on the corner, would I have...

A quick question if I may. On a manual, V8 EFi 200-series Discovery, how many bolts secure the engine to the bell-housing? I think I have found six or so, but how many need to be sitting in the empty margarine tub under the car before I can shift the engine? Thanks Hugh

Hi, A 'quick check' of the 3.5i V8 in a recently acquired Discovery I has turned into: a pile of cleaned parts; a pile of new parts; the block / pistons / crank left in the car. Both head gaskets had been blowing exhaust gases and cooked the oil so I really want to get the block out and...

Hi, This is a somewhat embarassing first post - I have been playing with the tailgate on my wife's 05 Freelander and found a bit left over.... :doh: She had a bit of bother with the tailgate not latching, but the rear window still going up into the window seals. The local main-stealer told me...
