No loss of power but I'm getting the smell of diesel coming from under the bonnet. I had a look and this is what I see. It seems to be coming from that wire connected to the big hose there. Any ideas?

I've been a good girl and told my insurer that my hippo is now in mondo mode (i have my reasons). I thought it would be a simple phone call but am now awaiting a call back after 2 hours so far as they don't seem to be able to get their heads round it and have had to refer it to 'scrutiny'...

Some ****head decided to pull the 'L' off the bonnet of my 2004 Freelie last night, there's been some Saturday night vandalism lately including wing mirror smashing. I had a look round but it seems that the **** took it with them. And idea what decal I should be looking for, its standard...

Hi, Having left Bahrain because of the dire political situation and now Disco and Freelander sold out there (for peanuts :-(, I now have the cash to buy a TD4 Freelander here in the UK. I'm after a 3 door auto, SE spec or above, age not too much of an issue as long as the mileage matches age...

So with the UJs fixed on my D2, I'm left with the problem of a deep booming noise that seems to come from the rear of the vehicle at high speed (70-100 mph). At lower speeds it just seems that I'm getting more road noise than I should, but as I speed up the loud road noise becomes the boom...

Thanks everyone for advice on overhauling the propshafts on my 2002 Disco II. The vibes/shudder problem was half solved when I replaced all four cross pieces, then three quarters solved when I replaced the doughnut. But it wasn't 100% solved until I changed the locator bearing in the double...

Dear All: I've still got vibration problems on my D2. I got the cross joints changed on the UJs, and this improved things a bit, but really the vibes are still there and I'm not happy driving it like that. The sharfts themselves look straight, su suspicion falls on: The rubber GNK "donut"...

Dear Disco fans, I hope you help me with a problem(s) I'm having with my 2002 D2 V8 auto, 170,000 km on the clock. I'm working out in Bahrain, so I have little in the way of tools or workshop, and communicating with garages and mechanics can be a challenge. So getting an insight into problems...

Dear All, I'm hoping you can help me with useful suggestions re a transmission problem I've just encountered on my 2002 Disco 2 V8 auto :(: I was driving my 2002 D2 V8 Auto on the highway at about 100 kmph, in the middle lane; suddenly and with no warning I felt a slight judder from the...

Hi, Vehicle electrics aren't my strong point, so I was wondering whether anyone could help me solve a starting problem on my RRC, 1984 3.5 V8 on carbs. My Range is a very basic lightweight model originally supplied to the Saudi military, so mechanically and electronically it is more like a '70s...

Hello All, It's Mr. Da Range here, not my Hippo-driving wife! I have two V8 related questions. Q 1. My 1984 3.5 Carb V8 RRC has had, at some point in its history, long before I bought it, a carb conversion. In place of the twin SU carbs it now has a single Rochester down-draught off a Jeep or...

Any ideas on this one: Hubby took my 04 V6 Freelie out last night and having parked up suddenly smelt and acrid smell coming from engine. Popped the bonnet and heard a hissing noise from the coolant bottle, the coolant was also way about the max fill line. Anyway, brought her home, let her...

Da Range's wife posting here, so excuse the newbieness of this post :o I've got a Freelander V6 automatic 2004 model (but only 44,000 KM on clock :)) which vibrates at around 3000-4000 revs just as the transmission change from 1st to 2nd. As soon as the gear change happens and the revs drop...
