    your land rovers name

    Never named a vehicle before I got my Land Rover. My Disco 300tdi is called Swompy because of the registration My Disco TD5 is called Stinky becauseof the state it was in when we got it And none of my other vehicles have names, must be a Land Rover thing

    Somerset/South West Area.....Please Help

    Hiya I know you were asking about byways, but there are two pay and play sites near Chippenham (Jct 17 of M4), Minety which is north of the junction and over a bit and Foxham which is just south and very near the junction. I've not been to either but fancy a trip to Foxham soonish : )...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Just felt like having a moan, you know when a simple easy job just goes wrong...... Did the front bearings not too long ago and noticed the tab washers were a bit on the naff side, and one of them wasn't even the right one so at the Oxford show recently I bought new tab washers and this...

    Steam clean Disco chassis in Wiltshire

    Turns out you weren't far wrong, got a quote to do the whole underside and engine bay for £70. I then thought, "Do I REALLY want to do this just before the MOT?" And I came to the conclusion that I didn't want it too clean, might need some minor indescretions covered that way when (IF) it...

    Disc's n pads need changing?

    Don't forget the 'Big bag o swear words' and a local garage with a press who will press the disks from the hubs if needed.

    300tdi warm up time

    Yep, mine takes 2 miles of driving to get the needle on the move and warm air coming through, but it has to be under load. You caould leave it sat there running for 10 mins and nothing (but at least if you do that it'll heat up a bit quicker when you do get moving, not great for de-icing the...

    Broke down already

    When the same happened to mine it was the coolant pump and the belt tensioner. I thought it was the bearings on the belt tensioner so bought spare bearings only to find out that the bearings were fine but the inner part of the roller where the bearing sits (teflon coating??) have eroded. So just...

    Steam clean Disco chassis in Wiltshire

    Alright, anyone got any ideas where I can get my Disco a good thorough clean underneath? I'm in Wiltshire, just south of Chippenham. Got the MOT coming up, the rear door arch/sill needs replacing and I'd just like to get it thoroughly cleaned underneath so I can see exactly where I am with it...

    Water pump 300tdi problem... URGENT

    Happened to me a few months ago, exactly the same. Got a recon water pump from a fella north of Bristol and job done, also had to change the tensioner at the same time, I thought I was being clever as I thought the bearings in the tensioner had gone so I ordered two sets of bearings only to find...

    No brakes if you press em twice.

    Mine was the vacuum pump. I swapped it for a reconned unti and all good. If you take the pipe from the servo and put your finger over it there should be a decent amount of suction, enough so that you need to pull your finger away, on mine there was enough that I could feel suction but not...

    No brakes if you press em twice.

    On a 300tdi Disco Right then, are these the places I am checking? In this first pic, the in the red box on the left (behind the fluid reservoir) I pulled the hose out and was able to blow air into the tube but not suck air out, that's a good thing yes? In the red box on the right, is this...

    :o Erm, yeah, that's the spirit.. A hypothetical 300TDI, lets say, for arguments sake, the brakes feel like they would if the iginition was not on
