I have always maintained my beloved disco 2 myself wherever possible but work at the moment is hectic so trusting it to a garage this time. Big lad.....I'm really insulted but how can preventative maintenance stop parts wearing out such as ABS sensors etc ?What preventative maintenance can be...

Hi Sierraferry. No joy.I'm going to buy a complete blower assembly as it is now officially getting on my tits

My 52 plate manual td5 has started to do the same.When you accelerate from overrun there is like a jerk when it starts to take up drive and when you are coming to a stand still but still barely on the gas,it does the same.Really jerky at low speeds but I still absolutely love the car.I'm doing...

Will try when I get home tonight and let you know.There are 2 relay there so going by the picture you kindly supplied I take it it is the one closest to the glovebox you are talking about ?

Hi all. New resistor fitted but not soldered as I didn't have the gear to do it so I just tried to crimp it all together and it is exactly the same as before with the fan running on the highest speed only.When I was testing it all before putting the glovebox etc back together I noticed that...

Replacing the fuel pressure regulator was the most difficult thing I have ever done on any car.What a lightweight eh ?

Hello all. I'm going to see a range rover vogue se on a 56 plate with 113000 on the clock,full history,fully loaded in black with black leather and all the relevant bells and whistles on it.Asking price is £16450.It looks minted so anyone think this is too much ? p.s.Her is a 52 plate disco td5...

Hi all. I take it the adjustment being discussed will take care of any play in the steering ? Will the seal kits available on ebay etc take care of any play as well as my box is leaking a bit ?
