So that's how it works. Every day a school day. :D

Hello Anaconda and Tottot, Lile I said, I looked into it today... I took out the start and stop combination and went to a Land Rover wizard with it. He opened it up and then we saw that the system that makes it impossible to pull the key out...

Difficult to gauge size but it looks a bit like a sump plug. The bottom pic' showing the inner face with the 'protrusion' reminds me of a seat belt bolt. The shape is designed to fit in bracket to stop the mounting turning when secured. That...

Sorry of Course. Tim from Bondi NSW Australia have a 76 Series 3 short wheel base Land Rover trying to get it back on the road. Had t pull the gearbox out to fix a clutch lever and slave cylinder through the floor. Putting it back in and found...

It would be good thing to introduce yourself,[rough location] say hello and give some more details about what it may be off to have a chance of finding out.

To be fair to LR and my Disco. Its actually been reliable. I have done three long journeys and not had a single mechanical issue. The car drives really nice, its a pleasure to drive. The actual working of the of the engine and driving I cant...

Hi, I just travelled 4.5hrs in the disco and up a mountain to 1000m altitude without any issues got home and the other key works fine!! Locks/unlock the car starts without issue but the other key is still not working. After reading more I...

Hi, you'll have to check with the second fob too and if it's the same the RF receiver is the first suspect which would cause the starting issue too cos it doesnt communicate with the passive remmobilisation exciter coil then that suplimentary...

Well. The heat shrink worked. Sort of. As predicted it was marginally too thick to allow the pin to fit. But it worked well as a shim.

Assuming it's petrol. Could be evaporation of the fuel in the fuel lines. Could be the fuel pick up pipe in the tank part blocked. Or could be the coil breaking down.

Check all and replace the fuel system. Check all and replace the coolant system. Does it still have a fan and cowl on the engine? Check all and replace the ignition system. Chances are no one has looked after it properly for years, you don't...

RCM faults can be difficult to trace, what the fault reads is not always the fault present. You could try disconnecting the airbags, ignition off, and replacing with a 2 Ohm resistor, then repeating your test. If the same fault remains and least...

Not really familiar with this model, but did the early ones have a PBM ? I could be wrong, likely, but I think the control went direct to each rear wheel motor. There was also an emergency release behind the centre console, something that should...

The link rod on our freelander 2 failed while we were on holiday. I think that the rubber part that sits behind the ball and socket mechanism failed, causing the arm to fall out. I did a quick repair in a Croatian car park with a piece of...

Well done. Thanks for updating the forum - the ‘solves’ help others. 👍

If the starter is clicking then I would suggest the car is trying to crank it but it will not as you have a flat battery or missed of a cable or two, earth strap etc.

Hi, Thanks for the information. Thanks for your help. I am sure it's not going to be something that complicated. My mate has a diagnostic tool which I am getting tonight or tomorrow so I'll see what happens. Thanks amigo

No harm in running a diagnostic, personally I would go for Autell or Foxwell as they have wider vehicle coverage. If it just for LandRover I believe Lynx is a good one. Whatever you choose just ensure it covers your model and has plenty of life...

Hi, Clicking noise is away, when you try to start the engine, the Clicking noise is coming from the starter motor

I would imagine the ECM would need coding to the engine, but start with the basics. There is a click ? Is it quiet like a relay if so check engine bay fusebox for correct position and fitment. If it loud like a starter, make sure battery is fully...

This was very similar…no matter how many times I stored the height it would always drop to the floor…. So this issue was found out to be the plugs I had purchased were wired up wrong! They had power to read the height but no return to the SLS...

Ok, i am still not sure this was a smart buy, but this old 109 came home today (always wanted One). My first 30kms on a series, what an experience! First things i noticed: - speedometer and odometer dont work; - left blinkers dont work; - it...

Have you never followed(often old Fords) a car and when it indicates you get side and brake lights flashing at the same time? It's because the electric will try to find a path to ground. Often it takes a long route through other circuits...

I tried in all key positions and then by starting it and the bulb didn't light. In a rush of enthusiasm I 'borrowed' the 'AUX' FL (also 30A) and used that instead. The car started so I have been able to move it so it no longer blocks the garage...

Easy bit first, fuseable link is just a fuse, often of higher ampage. As you say the concern is how or why it blew. Your investigations so far seem to suggest it is not going to earth, however the earth could be introduced when you try to start...

It really grinds the gears, the scum cause hundred's of Pounds in damage for the potential of a few Quid !

Morning guys, So, over the weekend someone tried to break into my disco, they tried to prize the lock then tried to prize the doors damaging the door panels on the drivers side, only found out as the dog was barking. Absolutely fuming :mad: as...

Hi all, So i have had my new to me discovery for just over a year now, went through the MOT no problem, just needed a new rear number plate bulb. Gearbox went crap, couldn't select certain gears and whining loudly then couldn't select any gear...

Looks like a non standard USB also. Neat job.
