    Alot of play

    Does it happen with the wheel in the straight position or at full left or right lock? Mine does is at full lock with the engine off, other wise it is fine whilst driving, which is where you want it.

    auto disco

    I have the V8i auto, it is brill, always had manual cars but in the disco it is great for town driving and driving down country roads/lanes having an auto box. my vote would be for the auto.

    steering shake

    Got cold feet at doing it myself, just as well, the mechanics had to use a pnumatic chisel to get the radius bushes out, so glad I took to the local garage, all in all as people say it is like having a new car, steering is tighter, no bouncing at high speed, so in doubt, get them done. It makes...

    Knock

    You might be supprised and find that one of the spiders on the prop shaft has gone and it is moving around in the joint, my friend had the same, cost him £250 for a new front prop shaft, so get it checked out before it does break.

    The great thing with 4x4's is that you get further in to the ****e before realising it. The great thing is trying to get out ot it!

    Ignition Key Sticking in Barrel!!!!

    I hope it does not go as it is a bitch to replace the lock, it has snap off bolts to attach it to the steering column which you has to take a chisel or centre punch on to try and get them out. mine took 2hrs and cramp in the hands, not from what other people might say!

    Cant get diff lock engaged ? Disco 300 tdi 96

    Does the Diff lock light on the dash board illuminate? some times letting the vehicle roll a bit might engage it, might even be the level of transmission fluid in the transfer box.

    steering shake

    The bushes would be on the radius arms and panhard rod, mine is the same, on a V8 petrol "K" discovery, I have replaced the steering damper which sorted the problem out by 80% but it is still doing the same as the other posts, so need to buy some bushes and get the local guy to fit as it need to...

    It will be either the alternator has packed up or the negative chassis cable has lost a good conductor, rusted or broken off.

    out of control discovery help needed

    Yella, I take it when you say the bushes are "shagged" you are refering to the Bushes on the panhard rod and radius arm? if not what bushes are you refering to as my disco is doing a similar thing, having replaced the steering damper it has made the problem 80% better but not the whole job.

    Driver window dropped?

    If when you shut the door you hear some rattling, you will find that the window lifter has rusted through and the window is not sitting in the "F" runner bar, it will cost around £30 for the "F" bar and the window rubber. To replace you will have to take the whole window assembly out of the...
