Bet he's a green welly type, who would go and buy 'spray on mud' so he can impress his lardy dardy ponsy friends Guys, I only joined a month or so ago, and this site is nothing less than BRILLIANT !!!!!!! And also a rite LARF

Not a Freelander I know, but I had Mich XPC's on my Disco, and they managed 60k+ miles . . brilliant, but Mr Mich got wind that peeps only ever bought one set, so they stopped making 'em.:( Got BF AT's now, and they're brilliant, if you can get them in 225/55/17 then go for them, typical...

I dn't wanna bash me Landy, anytime, espechat xms !!! p.s dun me dounashun . . how do I get to 'see red' ?? (not that it's why I did, jus wanna do mi bit for Mr Roy)

Hopefully - no harm done. The TD5 engine is an extremely strong and forgiving unit, afterall it was designed to operate in extreme conditions, ofetn with minimnal maintenance . . The artic all the way to the jungle !! and be capable of running on a variety of 'fuels' . . . depending on what...

Hi Alan, big welcome to the looney (errm I mean Landy Zone) whats the service history ? Are you a DIY mechanic ? I do all my own, not difficult and saves a fortune over LR dealer costs. make sure you change the engine oil per the schedule, and it will be good for an avg of 200k . . . worth...

Maybe mine also 'hisses' . . . just used to it and don't notice it . . :cool: Have you tried tuning your radio in better :D :D

That's strange, my pads managed 60k before change, and it was the rear ones that gave up first, wondering if the bias braking system on Disco's EBD - actually applies more pressure to the rear . . . especially when towing (which I do quite a bit of !) Here's what I mean !!! YouTube -...

some time ago I owned a 2.2 Diesel Nissan Xtrail (I saw the error of my ways and bought a Disco) I literally filled up with petrol early one morning, about 40 litres, and was blissfully unaware, and drove some 165 miles (without stopping) After a stop for some breakfast, it refused to...

It CAN vary depending on which county you get's nicked in !! Also, a plod will take in to account how you were driving (i.e. pratt = more chance of being nicked - sensible, decent weather, road etc, just too fast = possible fix penalty) My ex boss got away with a £60 & 3 point for doing...

I would be interested in possibly next year, or 2010, that far ahead so I can save enough to take 6-8 weeks off work (unpaid) and not go bust at the same time . . . . :eek: Either that or I gotta wait til me pension :( :(

Does any peeps know what are the common MOT failures on Discos ??

I assume you mean a 'fast' knob :D :D Cos I get stuck behind plenty of BLO*DY SLOW ones !!!!

Try this, with the radio off, hold button 1 in, then press the on switch, does it beep, then show "code" ? if so enter the code, then press button 1 to confirm If that don't work I give up, I'll try and find out some more an let you kno !!!

It could be either, or both !! The release bearing can 'grind' or 'rumble' all the time, only when your foot is off the clutch, or only when your foot is on the pedal, or when the pedal is depressed, or a combination of all . . . If your is doing it all the time the eng is running, start...

These any good ?? At time of posting there wasn't any bids !! Landrover Discovery TD5 Front Indicator Units on eBay, also, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 09-Feb-08 11:06:00 GMT)

Can we also ave subs for northerners, southerners and defintely welsh and scots :rolleyes: or we coud sub sub sub down to counties as well :D

Cheers for the advice, confirms my thoughts :) :)

In the 'old' days . . . it was quite common to add up to 10% petrol to a diesel to help prevent 'winter waxing' of the diesel . . 16 Ltrs in a Disco tank, as long as you fill up with diesel asap will do NO harm

Does anyone have an opinion on changing to drilled/slotted discs . . . Thought I might when I next change the pads . . . but not sure if they are really worth the extra cost ?? (i've been advised they will 'eat pads' )

Try holding button 1 a bit longer for a few seconds, can't remeber if the radio beeps . . . Then try inputting the code !!
