Use google and do a search for Land Rover ABS blink codes for your Discovery. The ABS system is Wabco C . I have the same car as you and had the same problem . There are loads of fault codes and the Specialist may have responded to one and you need to check what you have actually got . Do the...

Looking at the cost of DIY products it might be worth while getting a professional to have a look at it . Try one of the mobile people or some place that has all the gear to do it.Part of the refill process is to do a leak test first . Should cost approx £100 or less all in depending on any...

Yes you can buy the plastic fan seperately and do please keep the viscous fan on as Land Rovers are designed to have them and just because some people in our cooler climate seem to get away without one there are lots more people who keep them on . Regards Jonathan

You need something that is waterproof / oil proof and withstand high temp of approx 120 ° C and the associated pressure. Your best bet is to clean it out and fill with an epoxy resin like araldite or partly fill with a good quality high temp RTV mastic and then put araldite on top etc, but...

Mark are you sure that your description of the fault code? as on a list I have got it says 2-3 is a Recirculation pump failure , could be a failure of the pump , failure of 35 amp fuse or failure of the relay or broken / damaged wiring. Do a search on the internet there are several sets of...

Is there a temp sensor on the auto box or auto box oil pipe to oil cooler that is designed to switch on the fan as an extra cooler if the ATF gets too hot ?? Regards Jonathan

Please find below an extract of the MOT testers handbook re ABS and the warning lamp Information This ABS inspection applies to all systems fitted as 'standard', and to 'optional' systems fitted. When testing vehicles that have ABS fitted the road wheels should not be allowed to rotate...

Do not risk it . You wil not know it has come off untill you have lost approx 5 litrs of oil and then you will lose power and start to damage the gear box. If for some reason you are forced to risk it and it is a big risk take some extra precautions . Degrease the joint and wrap very well...

Yes I made the same repair a few months ago my self when I dicovered the cost of a new one was approx £100!!!! . Regards Jonathan

Do a search on the internet for Land Rover ABS Blink code and you will get info on diagnostics and fault codes . Regards Jonathan

Heater still cold as are the pipes at the back of the engine. This makes me think , AIR LOCK ,or BLOCKAGE or WATER PUMP FAILURE . The heater pipes should get hot first before the radiator. Regards Jonathan

I think it is EEQ500010 and this is for a Disco 1 and Disco 2 . Do a internet search on this part number .Regards Jonathan

You could also have an air lock, or low coolant level , I do not understand why you have no circulation through the heater pipes this is very significant ?? Your initial description sounds like a failed water pump . If you run a 300tdi without a thermostat it could still over heat because the...

Yes , when overheating one of the best things you can do is have the heater on full blast , I have discovered it makes a big difference to cooling as it takes heat directly from the engine block,in fact when the car is sat idling when hot and the heater on full I can tell the difference between...

That model year had problems with leaks around the windscreen rubbers and around the alpine lights in the rear roof . The fix was sealant from a mastic gun . Regards Jonathan

What you have there with that broken thermostat is a situation where the coolant will bypass the radiator and mainly flow around the engine as when cold and when hot some coolant will still by pass the radiator , hence overheating . Regards Jonathan

My 1998 300 tdi ES Automaic discovery has an Air Flow Meter . If a 300 tdi is an Automatic with EDC , ie fly by wire it will have an Air Flow meter . Regards Jonathan
