    Discovery Sport Boot / tailgate

    Start as above, check boot trim all around for security and nothing is obstructing the tailgate. If any parts have been changed, start there. One point I came across recently was that the green connector had been connected the wrong way around !

    No instrument indicator / warning lamps except altenator

    If you really want to advance the miles, practice on the old one. You may end up with digits misaligned, then all who look will think you have tried to turn it back ? Could be you have dry joint or two in the solder, it may well be an easy fix, if you know what you doing ... 🤔 As for keeping...

    No instrument indicator / warning lamps except altenator

    I'm not sure you can put 12v through the Disco' circuit board without possible damage ? The later models are set up for 5Volts I believe. Check earths and connections for security and damage.

    Rounded sump plug removal Liverpool

    Had a similar issue with my D2. Took it to B&B Garages Wavertree, they used some sort of socket which bit into the nut to loosen. If you can't get down there, maybe a similar socket can be bought ?

    Back indicator - fuse or bulb ?

    If it worked with a bit of fiddling with the bulb it would suggest the problem is at or near the holder. Check connections and earth are clean & secure. Buy a second-hand unit, or how difficult is it to remove otherside to slave on to test. Don't exclude the other lamps on that side, check they...

    Freelander 2 Bonnet stuck open

    I've done the cable change on D2, it is not to difficult, just use the string as has been suggested. The Disco' Sport has a 2 piece cable, joined in a plastic sleeve next to the battery box, is Freelander the same ? If so check there. To check yours, latch them manually and have someone pull the...

    Classic Swivel ball Re-Chroming?

    EP 90 is the recommended but many folks use the one shot, though not sure it really is one shot. 🤔

    Classic Swivel ball Re-Chroming?

    The pitting needs to be filled in to keep the swivels spherical or I guess oil will leak around lower bits. Point of note, check how thick the casting is for any replacement parts some are thinner than they should be.

    Classic Swivel ball Re-Chroming?

    I believe it still can be re-chromed, but if it smoothed and polished there is no need. Not something I have the patience for but it has apparently been done. 🤔

    Classic Swivel ball Re-Chroming?
