Cheers. Good to know. Although by the time he's driven to Kent and back it is going to be a fair few quid in diesel anyway! Gives us a backup option.

There's a guy near here called Ian Prior (FW 4x4) who seems to have a good rep. Never seen him myself but a friend recommended him. Not sure he can do Disco 3 but we'll ring him and ask!

Its all cars and the the trucks are now the same, its rare we get a proper mechanical breakdown, its always electrical unit failure or wiring knackered, both cause the truck to stop and 99 times out of a 100 cant be repaired at the roadside.

heard of a D3 that's was showing a lot of dashboard warning lights

land rover removed the body and fitted a new wiring loom complete, still had the same fault

turned out it was faulty rear bulb , after it being replaced sorted to problem out

don't know how true it is, but heard it from a few people , but could just be chinese whispers , lol
