Just have some appropriate roadside assistance/recovery.

I have an 04 Discovery and a pretty similar thing happened to me last week. The battery went flat in Morrison's car park (courtesy of grandson and light switch interaction). Thankfully it was unlocked though. A battery pack had absolutely no chance. I did use my recovery and he came in...

Well it ain't a Disco 2. It's hard to tell how much rust there is. Check the boot floor and such places. Although with the wheels, tyres, rearranged bodywork and stuff I can't see this being particularly cheap. Is that signs of something homesteading under the bonnet?

Front left side noises and grounding out at the back. Sounds like you have two problems. I suppose anyone could guess a number of things but without looking at it, it's going to be hard to diagnose. Does it have air or coil springs? Do you have one of those adjustable towbars? They give less...

Stretching for an upgrade model makes sense, they had lots of little changes that enhanced reliability, it wasn't just the beer goggles on the front. However bling it looks, a 126,000 mile 12/13 year old car is a 126,000 mile 12/13 year old car and is only worth so much. If you really like...

So then you get an aftermarket one and there's the hassle of getting it to work with the damned steering wheel switches. AArgh!

I see that some above are saying that that is all surface rust, but it's pretty widespread by the look of it. Hard to tell from only pictures, but some of it looks like a bit of an old rusty hulk sticking out of the sand on some beach. Shouldn't be surprised if there isn't some holes here and...

You're right, the older you get, the less enjoyable it is crawling under and fixing. How much do you still need the offroad capabilities? Looking at reliability tables, Toyota always come top....

There's a selection on ebay from around £20 to £89.50 plus £8.50 postage (!). A new seal, if you can get one would be the way to go.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Land Rover TD5 Discos. Yours will be a facelift model which was produced in the last couple of years of the production run. There are quite a few changes from the pre-facelift model, the most obvious being the headlights, but many under the skin where Land Rover...

Ah yes. If it is indeed a Disco 2 then all may well appear rust free when you look at the bodywork. They're good that way. Walk around to the back, lie down and look at the underside. If you can still see no rust, then you've still got two wishes left...

Main problems? Bloody hell that sounds like a good Disco allright. For the cigar lighter, check if you're getting power to it. If so, get another cigar lighter. If not, check why not. For the non-self cancelling indicator, I guess that's mechanical, take the wheel off and see what's broke.

I suspect Kwik-Fit haven't the ability to tackle any repair work to aircon systems, but can re-gas them. So, instead of looking for the reason it needs re-gassed, all they'll do is re-gas them, get the money and can't care less about whether it all leaks out again after a day or two. "Shall...

Is that fitted?

Don't know if this is the problem, but the outside tailgate bar that you push up to open is prone to sticking, so it doesn't always return all the way back down, with the result that it won't work next time. You can lever it back down a bit and it then does work. You can also remove the Land...

Have you done a search on here?

Just to clarify, is it a Disco 2 you've got, ie. a TD5 engine, or a 300TDi, which is a Disco 1?

Whatever the speed, if you are racing on a public road, it's illegal. And let's face it, you and that Panda 4X4 were racing! That'll get you an automatic ban and a whopping fine, even if you weren't prosecuted for dangerous driving as well. Of course the police always struggle to prove...

Those auto dim rear mirrors with a compass in the corner are a nice toy.
