I had an overheating disco 1, after all the assumptions about head gaskets, and other major problems proved to be a knackered radiator. Once removed it was obvious it was corroded and blocked. Don't dis regard the basics. I also replaced the viscous coupling as the disco had done 150k, £40 from...

So sorry your still having horrible luck with this car. They are a very frustrating lump sometimes. Back to the topic, you could just remove the thermostat to confirm that is not the problem. Has Irontite ever been used. I tried irontite on a Discovery with overheating problems as it was...

Kwik Fit where doing a re-gas for £45 and no charge if it would not fill. The machine does a pressure test before filling and will not procede if this fails so you will know if you have a leak and no cost. Remember the aircon pump will not run if the aircon gas pressure has dropped below a...

Hi, This synchronization procedure worked for me when I bought a new key. Worth a try and costs nothing. New Key Synchronization: Put key in drivers door lock. Press and hold lock button Turn key to lock position (Towards rear of car on right hand drive vehicles) Release button and turn...

If your in the area Calor Gas Shawfield Rd, Barnsley, S71 3HS 41.9 p/Ltr I always top up when passing.

Ahh, So no point getting all excited about my reported average of 21 MPG then. Thought it was too good to be true. Cheers Gav. Don.

Hi All, I have a 2000 P38 4.6 with multipoint LPG conversion. I always assumed that the average MPG stated on the dash computer would be of no use as running on LPG but noticed while playing today that it does seem to measure something meaningful. Reading drops when going uphill and raises when...

Have a look here, Immobiliser 'Spider' Unit Bypass Looks a lot easier and permanant.

Been fine all week, suspect height sensor may have got confused after car been jacked up. Many thanks for all suggestions. Cheers.

Hi Wills, Did not use the calibration option, only de pressurize air springs. Surface is fairly flat but not perfect. Started car to do the checks and this time it came straight up, ie about 10 secs to ride height. I switched off to see what would happen and this time it stayed up. It's cold...

Hi Wills, About 10 secs after turning off engine the solenoids start clicking and the car lowers in a controlled but quick decent. I have checked and only one corner was actually touching the bump stop so it may have dropped to access height. Not realy sure as I have only had the car a week and...

Hi All, Please help. 2000 P38 4.6. Used EAS unlock software to depressurize air springs and relaced a rear air spring. Car raises to all heights but now drops to bump stops immediately everytime I turn off the engine and hence takes ages to reach normal ride height. Suspension worked fine...

Thanks Andy, no sat nav so I'll give it a go. Watch this space. ++++ Removed stereo today and all connections seem fine. Will come back to this when I have more time. Only had the car a week and lots of things to fix, Air con - Reverse sensors - Dippy mirrors - rear screen washers etc etc etc.

I get options for dsp and sub woofer. Weather permitting I will try and remove the stereo tommorow and start checking all connections. Might have to get some keys to remove head unit though.

Yes, steering controls and cd changer all work fine.

It's front and rear but it's a starting point. Thanks.

Hi all, New to this so please be gentle. My recently purchased 2000 P38 vogue stereo plays great from nearside speakers but just hisses from drivers side, no music at all. Same whether radio or CD. I believe system is Harmon Kardon, says so on speakers anyway. Any suggestions greatly...
