To All you guys that have taken an effort to help me thanks for all the advice. I will do an oil change and live with it if it persists until next month. going into the game parks in Natal South Africa no time to sit at Dealer till after the trip. Will keep you informed on progress.

Hi Guys I need some help. When I get to a junction and turn right from stop as I accelerate i feel what feels like a wheel has run over a small log with a back wheel and the wheel slips. It happens at the same two junctions every time. If I accelerate slowly it does not happen only under a...

Hi Gary / Lynall, Thanks for the Info. I have done a continuity test on all relevant wires and all are ok. Instead of struggling to remove the filter housing to prove if the sensor is at fault I left the old one in place filled the new one with diesel and connected the electrics to the new...

Hi again Gary, It looks like you and Lynall are the only two who talk to me. Thanks to the two of you for responding. I have a restricted performance message after 5 starts of the car . The code is P2264 as read by icarsoft i930. Data live streaming shows it is present all the time. Have...

Hi All, Can anybody give me a link or tell me how I can get an Electric Library manual for a 2010 discovery 4 3.0 TDV6. I have a broken wire from Water in fuel sensor to EMC and would like to know the route it takes and connectors involved. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry Gary did not answer your question. Just changed the filter not sensor.

Hi Gary, Good to hear from you again. Am I looking for continuity between one pin and the plate in the sensor for both pins or am I looking for a resistance reading across the pins and if so any idea what ohms am I looking for? OR have I got it wrong and measuring resistance towards the...

Hi All, My Discovery 4 gets upset if I can't post on Landyzone so finds something to keep me posting. I have a problem with the water in fuel sensor, I think. Code says water in fuel but no water in filter. Changed filter no change. Is this a common problem or is my Disco 4 having fun with me?

Feedback on my Hitachi compressor after digging deeper found that a winding on the armature of the electric motor was damaged. (over heated) Found a second hand one with a good motor. The suspension is now working fine with no codes and able to raise and lower without any messages.

Thanks John? I am In south Africa and when the government have finished with me it is close to 1000 pounds. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Johnlad for your interest. I will try what you say with the relay and do a bit more digging before I part with about 1000 pounds in your currency. I think the gallery pressure is low at 254Kpa and the compressor looks like it is struggling.

I was getting Normal height only coming up occasionally and it was becoming every time I started the car. The compressor piston nylon rings were very worn with a lot of black powder in the crank case. So I ordered a new piston and barrel on the internet thinking that was the problem.

Hi All I need some extra brain power. I have just refurbished my suspension compressor changing the piston and cylinder. The compressor starts to run smooth when I first start the car but after about a minute I see that the compressor starts to slow down for 10 seconds then stutters and...

I managed to fix both front side drain pipes as both rubber grommets had perished and I had wet carpets after leaving the vehicle in a heavy storm. I googled all the info I could but was very reluctant on the passenger side to remove the fuse assembly due to the difficulty to put back and...
