Sam - I've sent you a PM. Problem(s) solved as of 3pm - new sensor and a new bag, he didn't have any take-offs unfortunately. The explosion blew a crater in the gravel driveway and even ripped the bumpstop clean off the chassis - it was on the far side of the driveway after the Discovery...

Actually no - we were still discussing how to get me home if I left it there / can it be driven home for it to be collected in the morning, as this was at 5:30 - long after all the spanner-type staff had left and he was on the point of setting the alarm and leaving. It was only by fluke I...

My local LR specialist keeps a few used airbags for this very sort of thing. I think they were about £40, but don't quote me on that. Mine's still fine after 18 months. eBay possibly?

It's a Monday thing - By chance I stopped on my way home at the local LR garage for a chat. As I was about to leave it was noticed that my Disco II was sitting with the rear n/s corner up in the air. ??? Apparantly it's not unknown for the sensors to fail in a random position - mine had just...

I used to have this occasional problem - it was a small stone trapped in the fold of the bag, so that meant it could self-seal if the bag was just in the right position, or deflate overnight if the bag wasn't in the perfect position. Local garage did me a second-hand bag for £40 and it's been...

Oh well, as long as it's not just me, then that's alright. Thank you for the sort-of relief! Progress? Defenders don't do this do they. Tut.

I was not previously aware of this issue - if I had been, I would have changed my windscreen earlier... I have a W-reg 2000 TD5 Disco GS that's in pretty good shape. I've owned it nearly two years, and during this time it's been wearing a replacement screen and a small stone chip in the centre...

Never did see the codes - but a known good used ABS modulator has solved the problem. This has only cost me £110 with delivery and fitting, which is vastly better than the 'list price' of over £1,000. Well worth looking at eBay if anyone wants a new one, some dealers are selling them very much...

Rick, I'm in the middle of a similar situation at the moment (common isn't it?). The ABS light will trigger the TC and HDC lights, as both those systems depend upon the ABS, so if the ABS spots a situation it's not happy with and flags an error, the other two systems domino behind it. I've had...
