Have recently changed from Wranglers to AT2's, far far better ride, only very slightly more noise. Do it - you know you want to

My Disco went back into the shop after having a replacement block fitted. They removed the SAI because the gubbins needed to install it were not on the replacement block (???) The ECU now reads an error with the SAI but they cannot program the ECU to ignore or bypass it so the EML comes on...

Cool, thanks will make sure they bag the lot for me

Duly noted but i have no idea how to check whether they have done it properly or no. Any clues for what i should look out for or is it a case of waiting till i get it back and watch the check engine light? Thanks Graham

What do they do? i know why they were introduced in the 60's but what use are they now. the garage replacing my engine called me to say they are removing them cos they are no longer any use. if they are no longer any use why were they on there in the first place. just looking for a bit more...

Adrian Flux gave me the best quote, it was £250 more with mods i.e. 2" lift, full underbody protection, snorkel, soft nudge bar. But i have not had private insurance for years and therefore no evidnce of no-claims. I have used their fully inclusive recovery policy twice in 5 months and it...

Much less than £2k for a multipoint now, also there are "Rolls Royce" versions and "lada" versions of multipoint sequential systems. If Yr car is only worth a couple of grand and yr mileage is high its worth investing in a budget version. Graham

Its sun morning and i was looking forward to drive around in my disco, which i picked up on thursday. I've only done about 200 miles in it since thursday, mostly motorway. I had a diagnostic done on friday after collecting it and all come up good. so this morning the engine warning light has...
