So, having read various threads including the one linked above... it may not be worth the buy due to the expensive to replace IRD. Is there no way to test the IRD from on the ground? I think I'll leave this one anyway - potential VCU/Rear diff/IRD all sound like hassle I'd rather not let...

It's a 55 plate 118k HSE TD4 2 door for £700. I think that is cheap. Insurance isn't an issue as it's going on a trade policy (I buy/sell motorcycles part time) BUT I would intend on getting it to 4wd as I want to use it in the snow! ha Andy - I'll search that thread down, thanks!

Hi All.... A friend of a friend has a FL1 2006 TD4 that's had the prop removed as it's failed and I'm considering buying it.... as that's the only explanation I've been given what are the risks? Would it be a matter of bearing replacements or a VCU or potentially both OR maybe something I'm not...

I've done a good few hundred miles and it seems to be getting worse rather than better.... the belt looks fairly clean too if I'm honest....

Hi all, Hoping for some advice please before I have to prise open my wallet and invite an auto electrician round... So as the title says, I went off-road last weekend in my FL1 TD4 Auto and ever since the battery light on my dash has been flicking on for a split second every now and again -...

Hi all, just wanted to say thanks for your advice on he above. Fitted a new regulator and all is now working great (after a couple of attempts at recalibrating it). One final ask on this one though is - the window now when it closes is sitting outside of the top frame of the car roof, it goes in...

Hi both, Thanks for the advice on the regulator I think it's fair to say that mine needs the cables replacing. What is confusing me is that my electrics have gone to the motor and the heated rear window, in the past when I've had a regulator fail in other cars the motor has continued to...

It's probably worth me mentioning that the tailgate both locks and unlocks with the fob so there's some power within the tailgate somewhere.....

Hi all, Got an issue with the missus FL1 rear door, all was well until yesterday, I was driving it and lowered the tailgate window all the way to get a clear view behind me when the window got all the way down there was a very loud bang/clunking noise. The window went up with the electric...

Just had a call from my mechanic, it's the actual gearbox that has a hole in it... I only bought the discovery a few weeks ago and I didn't need this! Thanks for all of the advice guys, does anyone happen to have a gearbox for sale?....

I think mine is one of the ones that has the diff lock sticker but not the functionality! The lever only goes up and down - low and high... :(

It seems to be, the lever feels like it moves in to low then back in to high normally but drive is still not there....

Update - as a test on the master and slave cylinders today I removed the slave from the gearbox. Without the slave in place you could freely move the rod it connects to - should this move around do you know? So, having removed the slave cylinder I got back in the car and was still able to move...

Thanks Discokids.... One thing worth we telling you, before I set off yesterday I replaced the actuator solenoid - I don't know how it could affect it but could I have done something wrong to cause this?
