Assume nothing, and check everything, particularly if a main stealer is involved! What length prop do you actually have? Can anyone here quote what length it should be? MW

I've gone from a V8 Lpg Disco 1 to a Disco 2 TD5. I find it is a little bit cheaper to run that the V8, but the main benefit is the increased range and ability to fill up pretty much anywhere, rather than having to plan every trip away from home around where I can get my next fill. The...

Put it on air suspension.... How much trouble could it possibly be? If you are planning a rebuild, can you not strip the roof and other bits off before you park it up, then dig your trench or whatever for when you have finished? Will it go through the door to your garage? I had to put bigger...

sounds like an abs fault? again getting the ecu read would be a good idea. if it were mine i would not be driving it till i had it checked out properly MW

and Symbian......

I didn't even had to visit the dealer to get the Radio and EKA codes. Just rang up, and quoted the chassis number! MW

I know that the sunroof leaks can be frustrating, but it this really the answer?

What did your supervising driver say? There is juddery, and juddery. Somethings can be lived with, others need attention sooner rather than later. If the problem has only appeared after fitting new (to you) tyres then having them balanced would be my first step. MW

Are you saying that one side goes rigid? If so that would probably be a height sensor failed, so the system thinks it is still low on that side, so keeps trying to pump it up. If this is the case i would not drive it until fixed, because if the compressor keeps trying to pump up a full air...

It was an aftermarket mod. My mums old 200TDI had one too. sorry but it came fitted. no idea who made them. MW

As I understand it, there are no TD5 with side facing rear seats. All 7 seat Disco 2s had forward facing rear seats. My TD5 was 5k, but from a private sale, and a bloody bargain at that. However I would not expect to get such generosity from a dealer. TD5 vs Tdi is a debate that has been...

I think calling Ed a bolt on mechanic is a little unfair. I don't imagine these come in kit form! MW

"On reflection, I believe i had stopped and the car behind ran into me!" I'd be surprised if the old bill have any record of it! My dad got knocked off the road by an artic a few years ago. No injuries to either party, so they didn't record it, even though his car was a near write off. The...

Low battery often causes problems with other voltage reading sensors, so that sounds a reasonable first step. MW

Going back to school boy physics now, so this could well be oversimplified, or simply wrong but.... Torque is just a measure of force at a distance away from the centre of rotation. (ie middle of the bolt!) so 460Nm is 460 newtons (kg effectively) applied 1 metre from the point of rotation...

Not sure on the form here. Am I supposed to quote you both in my sig now, or should i just sit here and feel smug? lol MW

have the faults been cleared off since then? otherwise you could be looking at a load of old faults. If it is driving fine, then I'd clear the faults, and check it again in a day or so, to see what was really going on. MW

Do you mean that the outer handle is in the 'pulled' position? If that is the case, this is the source of all your trouble! It will have stuck the last time you opened the door, and if it has not gone back to the normal position then the mechanism is not 'cocked' and neither handle can release...

Think the best buying advice for any LR product is this. Either be ridiculously wealthy, and happy to throw it at a good specialist garage on a regular basis (and these can take some finding!) Or be of at least some practical / mechanical mind, and willing to spend time doing your own...

No one has yet mentioned this, but if i were you I would try not to run the car at all till i had this fixed. If your air springs are leaking badly, as you indicate' then the compressor will be running much more, if not full time, to keep them inflated. This will result in a burnt out...
