Since no one was interested in buying the Disco I took her to a mechanic and we've found the problem: First the Air flow meter was failing. We replaced it and the drop in power stopped but there was still something not quite right. Then a lambda sensor error appeared so we replaced that... the...

TBH I had assumed it did but looking around the cab there are no warning stickers so I guess it doesn't. It's not an import vehicle.

Unfortunately it's not a Landy but it was my Dad's and I can't sell it for sentimental reasons so my Landy has to go. I've put it up for (what I think is) a fair price of £1000 so if you know of any one looking for a V8 landy for parts or as a project I'd be grateful Land Rovers For Sale -...

Update: Well I was on the way back from Norfolk to London and I'm pretty sure the Gearbox has had it now. Really odd vibrations from the middle of the vehicle at speed and scraping sounds when idle. It's not all the time but it's on it's way out I think. I don't have the money or time to repair...

I haven't had time to take it to the garage yet. It's a bit manic around here at the moment. Unfortunately it involves driving a lot so I've had to be careful with the landy.

cheers mjltigger. I'm way beyond my knowledge to be honest. I think I'm gonna have to take it to a garage and let them have a look around. Maybe there is some error code to help narrow down what's going on. cheers for your help everyone.

OK just been out for an hour or so. AFAICT the kick down is working. Below about 70MPH is seemed to drop down and the revs jumped to 3000 or so. All felt fine and responsive. I managed to recreate the problem. On any incline (going up it) slowly accelerate and normally at about 50-60 it just...

cheers mjltigger, ha ha, I've not used the overdraft button for ages :) I'll take it out tonight when the streets in London are a bit emptier and try it without LPG to see what happens. thanks.

That was my other thought but since I'd just had the gearbox spew it's oil all over the M11 I thought something might have happened to it. I don't think it's a sticky valve as the gear changes seem to happen smoothly and at the same speeds as before the cooler split. So I thought something could...

Thanks Peter, Yeah I figured going over the max was bad so I drained it down to max as you say. It seems to be running through the gears fine but kick down isn't working. At low speeds kick down works but between 30-70 it doesn't drop down it just slows the car down VERY quickly until I lift...

Cheers Peter. I wondered if the 9 Litre figure was for the TC and GB but thought I'd check with a greater force before driving off :)

Hi guys, my oil cooler gave way a few days ago so I drained the gearbox (took dip stick out, took drain plug out, left to drain for an hour or so), replaced the cooler, plug and started to refill the gearbox however.... I've only put in 5 Litres and the dip stick says it's past max. The docs...

130,000 ish (R Reg) but I only do about 4000 miles a year so I don't think I will test the engine before it's all fallen to bits.

My previous car was a classic car and I got classic car insurance (which doesn't accrue NCD). I lost my previous 5 years of NCD :( So I got a letter from the insurer showing I had not claimed for 4 years and my new insurer has agreed to convert it to 4 years NCB... yipeee :)

Mine is supposed to buzz/beep when the LPG is running low but it kind of makes a whimpering sound for a few minutes and then switches over to petrol. The little indicator thing really is the worst thing about LPG.
