Hey everyone, I've done some searching, but can't find much info regarding this topic. Everywhere I've read seems to talk about doing off-roading which is something I don't plan on (I know, stupid, I've bought a Disco and no off-roading?) :doh: :D Haha, anyway, looking at perhaps replacing...

Just done a quick search, it appears it's indeed a wading plug. Cool! Not sure on the severity of the leak as yet, nothing major I don't think. We'll see! Can anyone 100% confirm so I can sleep easy tonight? Lol

Looks like a transmission drain plug?! On my 300tdi Discovery auto. Please help? Looks like it's leaking oil from there, or around this area. Thanks.

Ah, cool, thanks for the help Richard! I've been tapping the ACC button, holding it, pulling it, everything! Nothing seems to work with it, at least not at the moment. When its in correct working order, to set speed, do you hold it for a couple seconds? Or is it just done on 1 press? As I...

South coast UK, near Portsmouth :)

When I had the washer bottle out, I did mention that I double checked around that grommet & where the loom enters the cabin, but mine looked fine - well sealed & not perished, doubtful it leaks there on mine either. Thanks! That's good to hear. Maybe I'll start practicing "test standard"...

Awesome info guys, keep it coming. I don't mind for hijacking threads! I'm defiantly going to be spending some time soon on identifying leaks & fixing them, for sure!

Thanks! Funny enough I wanted to take my washer bottle out anyway today (see pics below). I now know the rubber grommet you mean and mine looks fine, very well sealed to body & doesn't seem obvious that it would let water in. Excellent, thats great to know! Luckily I managed to get that MG...

This sort of info is great to hear, I hope I have similar luck! As I say, all last night it was raining here & no damp or leaks in the car this morning, but I suspect it'll leak if it was heavier rain. I'll also do the jug of water everywhere test! :D Thanks Ron! I'm super nervous already!!

Spot on, thanks for the tip about cruise control. Will take a look later! That sound deadening stuff is a nightmare then eh? Lol! As I said in my post, it rained all last night, got in the car this morning and bone dry everywhere. Did about an hour's driving this morning too in the rain, and...

Funny you should say that, I have removed the passenger side foam stuff already as it was absolutely soaked! Left it inside my garage overnight and still soaking, so maybe won't ever put that back in! Thanks! Yep, twin sunroof. Got my hands a little dirty with it so far today and have fixed...

Haha :) Thanks for the kind comments and welcome so far. I wouldn't call it rust free, but no advisories on its most recently MOT which was done last week for rust or corrosion, nor on the last 5 years of MOT certificates! However as I said, a good friend of mine (also an MOT tester) is doing...

I already did :D http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f20/newbie-help-me-choose-discovery-256197.html

Thanks all! Very very true that! Good to hear as well. Anyway, "project" thread up with some photos :) http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/my-first-land-rover-tow-car-256402.html

Hey guys, Well, I'm a newbie at Land Rover ownership and thought I'd start a "project" thread for it. Picked her up today, she's a 1995 300tdi auto, very very clean with fresh MOT & recent cambelt change. Never owned a 4x4 before, never owned a Landy before, but always wanted a Discovery...

Thanks for the advice, really appreciated :) Well - I've gone and put a deposit down on the one I saw, along with getting insurance for it, I'll be collecting it later today! A friend of mine who's had countless Land Rover (and Discovery's) come with me yesterday to check it out - looks very...

Good advice there, thanks for all the info so far. A great help. I'm really swayed toward the one I looked & test drove a few days ago, even with the high milage, as it had its MOT done last week & had basically zero advisories (and no advisories in previous years either) Its good to hear...

Oh really? That's good to hear :) I've been doing some reading about removing the EGR Valve & installing a decat, both of which seem relatively easy & cheap mods to improve performance & MPG's. The 300 TDI that I test drove yesterday had a fresh MOT on it last week, and had its timing belt...

Hey guys! I'm in the market for buying a Discovery soon, as I need one for towing. I'll be towing my race (drift) car, with a twin axle trailer. I plan to use the Discovery for weekend day trips with the g/f as well, when not attending car events :p Always loved Discovery's, since I was a...
