Hi All, A new problem started today...:( With ignition in position 2, when I then go to start, sometimes I get absolutely nothing (no noises at all) and sometimes she starts fine? :confused: I have been having issues with what I think is a worn ignition barrel for a while, in that it...

After my poor lady got nicked and used to ram raid a petrol station cash machine a few years back (at least she went in style!), I managed to rescue the black A bar and all fixings. It has two holes for lights. Now for sale; it's a heavy item so will probably need collection from Cirencester...

Hi All, I have an auto Disco II with 58,000 on the clock, which has been regularly serviced, etc. Ever since I've had it (about 2 years) there has been a bit of a power lag when setting off. It drives OK (although obviously under-powered) and then after a few seconds it seems to 'kick in' and...

Hi all, I'm beginning to really dislike FLs! Had a very noisy whine coming from the engine area (2000 model Td4), linked to engine speed. Common diagnosis was PS pump, so bought a new one, got it fitted, and the noise is still there! Aahh!!! The LR specialist who did the work said that...

Hi All, Recently had credit with the aa so took out their £65 per annum breakdown repair option (£25 excess/£500 repair - 5 times a year). Sounds pretty good, but I can imagine them trying to weasel out of it if something goes wrong!! :rolleyes: All they seem to want to make sure of is...

Hi All, Got a Td4 with 91k on the clock, and a slightly worrying fault has occurred twice - Saturday and this evening -with it absolutely fine and normal all the rest of the time. Basically, first turn of the key it nearly fires, then it just turns over without starting. Turn right off and...

Firstly let me say that I have already had a sleepless night and have considered self flagellation as a punishment for this, so please don't lay into me too hard. :( Basically, I thought I'd flush the coolant system after I had to mix coolants after doing some previous work. An easy job, so I...

After finally getting round to try and fix my bonnet release cable that had snapped, I found quite an easy way to undo the bonnet with the cable snapped. Basically, bend the plastic grille down, hold it open with something plastic to stop damage to the bonnet, and you can undo the 2 bolts one...

Hi all, Pretty much what it says on the tin. My bonnet release cable has snapped, and the bonnet is shut. Think I need to go in behind the radiator, but if anyone has had the same problem, advice would be much appreciated... Thanks, Oscar

Hi there, I've looked through the forum to see if i could find this anywhere else, but with no luck. When trying to check the oil/water this morning, I pulled the bonnet release handle, and the bonnet didn't open, but I didn't feel a distinct 'snap'. Is it possible that the mechanism is...

Hi everyone, We've got a 2000 Td4 with 86k miles, it's an auto, and has a FSH. Having just had a scare with the Gearbox (good news in the end, just a wiring fault), we were wondering, given the gearbox's propensity to break, whether we should maximise the value, and sell now? Just...

UPDATE on previous message: Following the HDC light/autobox problem discussed in previous thread: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/please-help-hdc-light-off-no-real-drive-no-gear-selector-light-70980.html Took the landy to a local specialist, and when he looked for the ECU plug it was on...

Hi there, I have just been driving the freelander, and was up against a kerb, and then reversed, and must have clicked the HDC button....then all sorts of stuff happened! The Traction Control light is now on all the time, the HDC and ! is constantly on, and there is no gear selector light...

Hi All, First posting on this very organised looking site! I have a 2000 Td4 which has a water/coolant issue. On Tuesday morning I checked the water before a planned 700 mile round trip to scotland, via Birmingham. It was below the pipe in the header tank so I re-filled it to half way with...
