Hello My beloved Monty was stolen last night from Richmond Land Rover. We travelled from London to Cape Town in Monty, I even got engaged to my wife on the roof! He's part of the family and, needless to say, we're devastated. Monty is quite distinguishable so if you see any part or all of him...

The original garage gave up so I had it delivered to a new landrover specialist in battersea. Like the tiger says, they're great! RR landrover is their name. It was a faulty connection on the ECU from an oil leak. They cleaned it all up and it works now. They did mention that I should change...

Hello, I did this at the weekend: www.discovery2.co.uk / Workshop /Injector Harness And it fixed my issue. Great tutorial. The only thing we followed but felt could probably have skipped was popping open the ECU cover. Other than that, spot on and it's now running wonderfully again.

perfect. Ta.

Thanks both for the quick responses. Got any recommendations for an ECU reader?

Hello I've a Disco 2 Metropolis auto that has started to shake at low revs. It tends to be once it's warmed up. If I kick down on the throttle it changes down a gear or two and the shake goes away. It's almost as if it's about to stall. Looking around here there's mention of similar...
