OK, noted the number thanks. I haven't gotton checking fluid levels either yet.. time & patience today... turned into another manic day.. but a guy did come with snap on diagnostic kit but cannot get to read at all, suggested fail in cars cables to read.... tomorrow is manic again, still...

Hi Hippo, VERY interesting post, Thank You. No drop in revs in any shift position. All feels loose with no resistance at all. All digits, on console by lever & on dash correct to respective position of the lever. Park, does park, then I guess that's a mechanical bit?? and you still have...

Thanks on that! In the morning I'm going to ring a guy with the computer.. to see what that tells me.. I guess that is the first point of call..? Is it? Or,.. maybe ring these guys in Longton? I'm just miffed that last time it was only a bloody fuse.. it related to the cooling fans, rad &...

Thanks Teddywood1 (?) If you don't mind then yes please. Biggest issue is getting it anywhere really.. I have a TD5 Disco as well so it could be a trailer job whatever happens... the misses can push it on the trailer if I shout at her loud enough!! Now to look at the post on 'Regrets' on...

Hi Folks, Thanks. It has done no towing really, elderly folk had it before me and I haven't done any towing with it to speak of. Where are these solenoids you mention.... I guess really I have to get it plugged into a computer do I, to get some form of diagnostic opinion?? Dave

Any thoughts then guys?? Looking through all the auto box related posts on here, it is pointing towards electrical issues.. Just so difficult to diagnose what happened when drive just ' seemed to fail' as I wasn't in the car at the time. Is there any local mobile guys with the computer kit...

Hi Folks, having had a problem last year, when the autobox seemed stuck in third.....it was a fuse! A fuse related to the 'cooling'?????? But it was fine when changed! But not this time.... However, I wasn't driving at the time, it's 'er car anyway apparently.. but it just lost power and...

Well, it's here now.. apart from my short legs problem therefore a bit uncomfy, I'm genuinely pleased so far, yes. Not forgetting it's a Commercial, can I simply put the electric motors & switches in for rear door windows?? The wiring is in the doors, not checked the console at the front, but...

Thanks again all, I'm collecting today! I'll no doubt keep looking back in here with my 'opinion' This 'Dynachip' guy, seems to have a respectable reputation too..I'll look him up in due course no doubt. Thanks Again

That Greygate Polish sounds interesting! Widely available is it? Otherwise, I've always used 'Brasso' You try it on the orange lens of a flashing beacon that has dulled.

Thanks guys..you know what it's like though... once it's in your mind.... 03 plate Commercial coming my way next week ....

What am I looking for guys? Seen one advertised at 116 BHP?? not all 136 then? Clutch issues with these? looking at one with 163,000 on the clock. Any Advice would be appreciated..I'm aiming to change 1993 200tdi 90 to a Discovery for a little more comfort, appreciating the electronic...

Got a chap asking me about the side panels & windows from my 90...will they go on a 2006 90 Defender?? Centre support strut etc??? I assume simply cut it out where the sliding aluminium windows/frame fits??? Thanks, D of O

Ah, mines an Automatic box too,....best check out if the panels are the same.......

Hi Mate, That 'seems' logical...although I see one for sale with 73000 on the clock, I guess that was what that cars mileage showed before he stripped it though. I'll take the gamble and all being well attempt it at the weekend..then let you know what happens!! Thanks again all, Duke...

Hi & Thanks, we're on an X Reg TD4, my concerns are if I have to be worried about electronics/resetting etc, I guess the actual mileage will be different too, or will that be another reason to plug it into a computer..seems too easy to literally be a straight swap, or am I just being negative...

Oh Great, here we go with 'mending' again..but thanks. Anyone know if it's a simple enough straight swap with a secondhand complete cluster of the clocks?? They are cheap enough on THAT auction site I see?? Thank You, Duke of Offley (Titch)

Hi Folks, My Freelander has just started doing that, ignition on and speedo needle shoots right round as far as it will go???? Presumably some pre check thingy..but what & if is it still checking as it's been like it for two days now.. Any ideas folks, except of course those answers we've...

ah yes, and Sport mode ( HA!) will show which gear as you go up/down...if the LCD is working of course

and no LED on the console next to the gear shift stick? I assume all gears are OK though???
