Hello, I'm just about to buy a Faultmate MSV-2 Extreme, hopefully to diagnose faults on my 2002 Discovery. Can anyone who has used or has one of these devices tell me if it is capable of calibrating the ACE g sensors. Thanks RichardG

Hello, My td5 has got an annoying rattle at about 1200rpm with no load. Sounds a bit like injector noise from an old diesel. The weird thing is that sometimes it's ok and runs very sweet, the engine has stacks of power, tickover is quiet and high speed is quiet, no knocks or taps. Just at 1200...

Hi All, Ok, I want to fit some parking sensors to my disco2 'cos last tuesday in the Asda car park I dented a delivery van door 'cos the pratt parked behind me while I wasn't looking, I'm not so bothered about the dent in the van, but it put a tiny scuff mark on my bumper and that's just not on...

Hi, When car is cold ie. first run in the morning, when I reverse out the drive and depress the clutch pedal (vehicle not moving) I am getting a noise like a dry bearing, can anyone confirm that it is more than likely the clutch release bearing. I have just had a new clutch fitted, I had a...

Hello, Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a '93 200TDI that they can send me. (pdf file). I have a 200 TDI Haynes, but starts at '94 and wiring is not the same. A friend of mine has this particular 200TDI and the electrics are playing up big time. Starter motor won't turn without bypassing...

Hello, I wonder if anyone can tell me what the problem might be or maybe it's normal. I have series 2 td5 and as I change up through the gears as the engine speed drops for the next gear I get like a rattle, something like when you put a fag packet in your bike wheel when you was a kid. :D...

Hi, I just need to know (quickly please) if the balljoint (which attaches the drop arm to the steering box) can be replaced without replacing the whole drop arm. I've had a quick look and it looks like the joint is swaged onto the drop arm and the adjuster is at the other end (wheel end.) If...

Hi, Just about to change the discs and pads on my 2002 disco, will I need any special tools or is it just a straight forward job. I notice in the service manual that landrover make a tool to push the pistons back, is it required or will the pistons push back easily. Any other info would...

Hi, I have a 52 plate series 2 GS TD5 manual, I've had it about a month now and love it to bits. But, (there's always a but!) About 9 times out of ten when I try to start the car the key won't turn in the ignition. It seems to be an alarm problem because if I rearm the alarm and once again...

Hello, Just bought myself some parking sensors for my td5, just wondered if anyone has fitted any. The main problem is picking up a feed from the reversing lights. On the circuit diagram it shows an unused spur off the reversing lights. Would be ideal to use this instead of splicing into the...

Hi, Hope you are all having a "wonderful Christmas time" Just a quick question. I like to put my Disco's battery on trickle charge during these damp cold winter days/nights. This was fine on my old 200tdi, no problems. I have just bought a series 2 GS and it states in the handbook that the...

Hello, Just bought myself a 52plate GS and I'm chuffed to bits with it. Been going round it today cleaning and polishing as you do with a new rover. And noticed while doing the roof that water doesn't appear to be draining away from the sunroof gutters, although I have no leaks inside. My...

Hi polluters, :D Getting really sick of being branded a major polluter 'cos I run a dirty 4x4, which I find to be economical, safe and a pleasure to drive, plus the fact it is the only vehicle that will pull a decent sized caravan etc. without falling foul of the law. So after hearing on the...
