Fery, are you developing a sense of sarcasm? :lol:

If the warning lights can be cancelled by cycling the ignition then it is more likely to be the SVS gremlin than a wheel hub. This can be died in a ccouple of ways and costs pennies to sort out. Take a rideover to D2BC.co.uk • Index page and search for svs fault.

Care to explain why? As far as I can see the only requirement is for the plate to be vertical (or as close as possible) and visible from in front of the vehicle. The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 applies.

@ raywin Don't forget that the temp gauge isn't properly analogue like on the Disco 1. It only has four positions - cold, warming up, normal and too late ☺ If you really want to see the actual coolant temperature then plug in a nanocom or get a proper gauge.

It should be a free service from the stealer.

Danny, Give your local LR dealer a call with your vehicle registration and they can tell you the code it had when it left the factory. The code on mine had been changed (or it had a replacement radio fitted) so the code from the dealer didn't work. I sent the radio to a company that...

There's nothing a half decent home mechanic can't diagnose and repair on a Td5 Discovery or Defender and they are easy to work on. I agree the Tdi is easier to work on but they're all getting long in the tooth now (last ones were 1998/9) and tin worm has had plenty of time to do it's worst. My...

Dippypud, I've just realised I hate you. Nice one :)

If there's no data on what the emissions were at the time of manufacture - 300Tdi engines pre-date Govt emissions data records - no gauge (no matter how clever or expensive) will be able to tell if the emissions devices originally fitted are still fitted/operating correctly. The changes to the...

URL please :)

Where are you getting this information from Munster? I can't find any reference to it either on-line or in the MOT testers manual. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something, mate.

You're right Mark, but TBH I don't understand how anyone could confuse a DPF and a CAT.

No, I didn't mean a DPF - and yes I do know the difference between a DPF and a CAT. You might like to read the first part of this https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/275427/mot-special-notice-1-2014.pdf where it makes no reference to the age of the...

Surely, with the recent changes to the MOT rules, fitting a de-cat pipe to a 300Tdi will mean an automatic failure?

Take a look at the inside of the hose that goes from the turbo to the intercooler. Check for delamination inside.
