Had this for nearly 12 years and thinking its time to part. MOT ran out beginning of April - last MOT it had advisories on tyres and some brake hoses are slightly corroded. It has barely moved since then. Possibly putting it on Ebay but have no idea of value. Suggestions??

We are based in Lincolnshire and I am a teacher and my husband a software developer and so fixing this is out of both our comfort zones. Does anyone know where I could take it to be looked and hopefully fixed at that is fairly local - it goes everywhere in 3rd gear!! The only independent...

Thank you all so much for your replies. Well the consensus at the garage is she is RIP needs a new gearbox and XYZ switch - the second gear solenoid is FOOBAR too. They cant find a decent donor gearbox anywhere - the ones that they have had in the past have failed after a while. Going to MOT it...

M and S lights are now on every time I drive her. Sometimes it takes a little while but then you can feel a 'bump' almost like its changing gear and on they come. Replaced the box about 9 years ago when it happened last time but its only done about 10,000 miles since. Is it time to consign it to...

To be honest I didnt ask - will call and speak to them tomorrow - it was am Independant Landrover Specialist not our local garage I would hope they would know what they were doing

Hi James just had a call from the garage - they have changed the oil and filter but are now saying they cant get it to go into 4th? or 3 and a half as they put it. They say its doing 3000 in third and then not changing?? Really confused if I am honest I rarely do over 50 in it - we live in...

Cheers James will get the local garage on to it on Monday - someone told me that I needed to drive over 50mph to keep the box cool.. Poor horse would have heart failure

When towing my horsebox today the temperature light for the gearbox came on. I carried on my journey and it was fine. Came to drive it home tonight and the light didn't come on at all. I need to collect my horsebox - with horse tomorrow. Is it safe to use? Dont want to kill the gearbox it cost...

Over the last couple of days I have gone to my Disco and it wont start. The pig tail on the dash doesn't appear and it just clicks. I take the key out and try again sometimes it starts and others it takes two or three further attempts. Sometimes it starts straight away. Ideas???

Thank you for your help will pass this on to the guy who does all the servicing. I have read on some forums that if the bags have been removed and springs put on a seven seater then it invalidates the insurance, is this true??

Whoops sorry I meant the air suspension bags

My Discovery 2 has just sprung a new surprise...Whilst driving the light on the dashboard that makes it look like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (arrows either side) appeared and it sounded a beeping alarm. I put the fault into Google and came up with the airbags fault. One slight issue there I don't...

Hi all wonder if you can help? We have had our disco for over a year now and spent the best part of four grand just keeping it on the road, new gearbox, ACE system diesel pump.... It has now started to make a noise like a fan belt slipping, trouble it it's intermittent and a certain rev ranges -...
