I'm sure with speed cameras they can be positioned in locations without the need for warning signs sio this may well extend to this type of camera too.

I drove to Stourhead today, a one hour journey, my heart tugged every time I passed any Land Rovers, particularly Discovery's! :violin:

Yesterday at 13.30 I swapped my Disco for my new(ish) Skoda Fabia. Yes, I am really missing everything that was good about my Disco but I have immediately noticed one thing my Skoda has over my old Disco, average mpg currently showing 52.5!

Funnily enough Mrs 627 has told me if I get a Landy of any description again the extra load space won't be needed as I'll be on my own! :(

re mpg, I have seen figures of combined fuel economy being 57.6mpg. Which I liked! :D

Unfortunately after 15 months of Land Rover ownership due to a major life change I've had to do the unthinkable and trade my Disco in for a 'sensible family car'. After several large repair bills and having to compete mpg wise with a car that regularly does 60+ the final straw came last month...

The water pump was replaced exactly 12 months ago but I have book Disco in with garage that replaced pump originally to find problem and fix it.

Man at garage said a new pump is £50.

Actually I was told "it'll be a little under £200". :p

It looks like I'll have to take my Disco into local specialist and ask them to find cause of problem. :drama:

I've been quoted £200 for a new water pump and fitting but also included is the replacing of the P Gasket to avoid any problems with that in the future. Is this a particularly bad price from a very good Land Rover specialist?

Yes it's a TDi. Thanks for that, I'll look into it....

I've just been out for a short drive (2.5 miles x2) and noticed temp started rising after 1 mile, it stopped when needle was about halfway. I stopped at shop for 10 minutes and when I got back to Disco engine temperature hadn't changed and didn't alter for 2.5 mile return journey. The route was...

I've just been out and had a look at back of radiator and it appears to be fine front and back. What should I be looking for exactly?

The last three times I've taken my '94 Discovery out I've noticed the engine is overheating but when I checked the coolant and oil levels this morning they were fine, what could be the problem? The three trips have each been 10 miles out, 10 back, mostly dual carriageway. :flame2:
