Was treated to a ride out in the Series 3 TDV6 Discovery today, having a TD5 Adventurer I was interested in the direct comparison. My conclusion was its a Range Rover.....no sign of the principles that spawned the Series 1 or 2, felt sad that I would not move to a series 3 or 4 as they are...

Well I feel semi reassured :). Thanks guys thought it was just me. A bit scary sometimes though if your stopping distances are not good.

Brakes are firm and bled okay initial braking is good but if you lift off and press lightly the bite is very good. Could this be a servo pipe/filter leak issue? I have followed the pipes around all seem in good condition ( 116k 2000 TD5) Pads and discs are okay but will need...

I have that link Del, it is very good, combine it with Urban Panzers tip on raising the chasis to gain access tot he bolts and it may not be too horrific a job :)

Looking at the price you could be right. Ultimately its new box time but I will chance a delay tactic as it gives me a chance to save up for a paddocks recon box.

I have a slight weep on the seal beneath the control arm, uses about an 1/2 an egg cup full of Dextron 3 in a month. Is the common thought the seal option is not worth it? How can I tell if there is resulting wear as the TD5 Disco behaves normally. Advice welcome.

I got my MTF 94 from my local motor factor Carlube Motor Oil - MTF94 Manual Transmission Fluid they supplied this oil which is made in Bury Lancs at about £8 per litre.

Yes sealed round glass to frame and frame to body. No leaks, hardly noticeable :)

Got sick of my leaks and sealed the lot with this Sikaflex 221 Caravan Sealant - Black on eBay (end time 04-May-10 16:49:28 BST)

Well I have a 2000 X Reg Adventurer D2 and it has low ratio diff lock all fitted as standard.

Cheers, will follow up with my local auto paint mixing company :)

Can anyone tell me where I can find the paint codes for the wheels on my 'Adventurer'? The wheels could be a Rover dark metallic grey but I am not sure. Thanks in advance.:)

I have just completed my first 1000 miles of ownership with the TD5 and apart from air bags and a full service (£250) she is performing okay. The car I swapped her for a Volvo D5 by contrast cost me £2.5k in the first week, CEM unit, design fault and at the time only 3 years old. By contrast the...

This is my second Disco and I know what you mean, it is a bit like painting the 'Forth Road' bridge :)
