It is the air suspension resetting the car level after the weight has been removed. If you look sometimes you can see the car move as well.Regards Jonathan

The pump should only run when required , could be a duff relay or a connector (dirt , corrosion, broken wire) or ECU but if it is one of those 3, I would expect other blink codes.Regards Jonathan

Hi , Fault Blink Code 1-2 does not exist . Do a google search for "MERITOR WABCO Maintenance Manual 38 Hydraulic ABS for Medium-Duty Trucks, Buses and Motor Home Chassis " This is the manufactures maintenance manual for Disco 1 ABS .You can prove this for your self by checking the ABS type...

The elbow on the thermostat housing has room for two seperate standard fit fan switches. Land Rover, Britpart , Bearmach supply the switches so do Facet etc , just choose the correct temperature range and whether you want normally open or normally closed they have two temp settings , one to...

WD 40 is not that good as a penetrating oil , use Plus gas it is loads better and soak it on a regular basis, overnight if possible.Then give it a few GENTLE taps with a hammer to loosen things, more Plus gas, and if that does not work run the engine untill it is warm and try again, when engine...

Tony3001, Yes the sensors I replaced were the one in the middle of the cyclinder head under the rubber mat and the one at the back of the inlet manifold between the engine and the bulkhead . Regards Jonathan

Interesting , I have similar problem with mine. I have replaced the temp sensors for air and coolant as you have but using Hawkeye the fuel temp sensor still reads far to high at 50 °C when cold and stood overnight . Even with the new sensors for air and coolant it made no differeance and they...

The reason it does not flash is that it has a stored fault code . The fact that it goes off after you drive above 6 mph means that there are no current faults active . Stored fault is probably the CV/Sensor problem you have fixed . You just need to delete the stored code . Search for ABS...

There is also the airflow sensor behind the air filter on the passenger inner wing. Regards Jonathan

Well it is possible ? A garage can pressure test the cooling system , ie fit a guage to the header tank and pump a little air in it and see how much it drops in presure over a period of time which will confirm any leaks or a possible head gasket problem and they should do a sniff test using a...

Previous posts indicate you have also changed the Water pump as well , assuming all the parts you changed are still OK and were not faulty when changed there is not much left . Is there anything in front of the radiator that blocks or reduces air flow through it ? There is also a thermostat...

Not sure If I remember correctly as I changed mine last year but is there is a rubber O ring on each pipe that connects to the pump . Regards Jonathan

If it is an automatic with EDC it is at the very back of the engine an inch or so from the top just in front of the bulkhead . Very difficult to see but you can feel the wire leading to it . Regards Jonathan

Very interesting as my 1998 300 Auto tdi has a auto gear box sump plug that looks just like the STC4098 that is for a Disco 2 . It is nothing like the one in my parts catalogue and it does not need a copper washer . My parts book dates back to 2002 , but the content looks older . I have the same...

The pipe with the bolt should go to the brake pedal . It is for cruise control . Regards Jonathan

Yes mine is the same as yours Col . Once it has started I can switch it off within a minute or so and it will start straight away next time . The very cold weather - 8 °C makes the engine turn over very slowly . I have new Glow plugs , doubled the wiring to the starter , new earths,trickle...

Hi , I have the same problem with my 300 tdi 1998 ES Auto with EDC , Just starting to wonder if the cold is affecting the engine oil viscosity and making it thicker and difficult to turn over ? Regards Jonathan

Genuine parts glow plugs are made by a company called BERU . It is always a good choice to change all 4 and double check earth leads to engine block and to clean the connections on the top of the plug . Put copper grease on the thread when you fit them . If you battery is OK and your engine...

I think the coloured plugs should match up with the dots on the switches . The temp sender for the temp guage is just under the thermostat housing , there is only one wire going to it it is difficult to see as the air con compressor is in the way . The 9 oclock position for the temp guage seems...

Sorry Mike but it is not that simple some cars have one switch and some have two . The part numbers are PRC3359 green dot and PRC3505 yellow dot for a two switch car and just PRC 3505 yellow dot for a one switch car . Which is yours ? Your does not have to overheat in the traditional way to...
