Thanks for your suggestions, the viscous fan is not currently attached, so its not that. The power steering was making strange noises before it cut out, so it may be the pump - that'll be the next job. That still wouldnt explain why the starter holds in though..

Update on this issue - help still required!! We've replaced the clutch but we still cant get the engine started. We have bench tested the Starter motor and it works ok. we have run a separate live from the fully charged battery to the alternator and when i turn the key, it still sounds...

Thanks Ratty I've got the starter out now (Im in the garage as i type) and its working fine when connected direct to the battery. I used the motor before my wife on the 8th and the steering made some strange noises when towards full lock. Just called her to ask about the noises and she...

Hi, I posted this under the Engine area in error. My 99 diesel 2.5 TD5 has suffered a few problems which I am trying to diagnose. 1. Non-starter + Power steering? On 8th September, 2 days before my wedding, my then fiance pulled into a multi-story car park. As she was straightening up...

Hi Mate, Im replacing my clutch at the tomorrow/Saturtday, I'll keep an eye out for it. Any tips for with the clutch? How long did it take? Mike

Hi, I seem to have been hit by a triple whammy..... 1. Rear air suspension - Compressor?? (ive read air suspension post) The rear has very, very gradually dropped over the last few months. I didnt even notice until i took 3 mates to Newquay in August. With all our gear, we were very low on...

HI all, just to let you know i took my Disco2 to my local garage who does my MOT's and they deleted the codes free of charge. 2/3 amigos went out, the third (ABS) went out after drving for a minute... They havent come back on..Sweet! So, just to confirm what i did. Removed wheel and...

The first diagnostic showed a fault with the o/s wheel sensor. Ive checked the bearings as best i can and they appear fine so it must be the sensor. I've removed cleaned and replaced, but not tested with multimeter. May just buy a new one and go from there.... will save me overall. Keep the...

bummer! so, i've actually got no way of knowing whether ive fixed it, or i need to get a new sensor..... got my MOT on tuesday so i need to get it sorted!

ok, so i've stripped the off-side wheel to get to the sensor, cleaned, re-seated it and knocked it in with a blunt object. haven't tested it yet as not got a multimeter. however just driven it up he road and the light is still on. Will they go off on their own or will i need to get them cleared??

Hi, Currently got the Disco 2 jacked up and in the process of getting to the sensor to check it/clean it re-seat it etc. Question is thread title: Will the lights go off on their own if I sort it or, do i have to pay another 26 quid to get another diagnostic to clear the problem and maybe find...

Diagnosis was drivers side sensor. Just had the wheel off to check/clean the sensor area but disc retaining screw shreaded so couldn't get into see sensor. Now off to buy some screws... so i can drill out the butchered one. Should i just order a new sensor or could it the existing once just...

Sweet, thanks for that! I'm now off to get a diagnostic, but i'm guessing and hoping its something simple as i was going over speed humps at the time they first came on.

Hi, The 3 amigos lit up about 8 months ago while i was going over speed humps. Got my MOT this week and have found out abs light must be off. Having surfed the forum, i have read many possible causes, the first one being checking the senors! So, is there any good beta/pictures on where to...
