I took off one of the rear frames to repair a faulty lock, and they're really quite easy to remove. The main thing you need is good Torx drivers/sockets. There are 3 or 4 large ones which were very tight, and 5 or 6 in all - one was inside the door and not immediately obvious. I imagine using...

I'd be interested as well. New parts are about £200 each, so I'm looking at removal and repaint later this year. They are actually quite easy to remove. Only think I'm not sure of is the colour. I'm thinking of a matt black but I'm not sure if that's the original LR colour. Cheers!

Two horns behind the grille, next to each headlamp. One is low tone and the other high - I suspect your low one has failed. When I got my Disco, one of mine had gone and it was blowing fuses. That caused the confusing problem of the cruise control not working as the switches on the steering...

I think you will find the judder is the handbrake catching slightly. In normal use, the drive overpowers this, but when you coast to a halt, you may notice it. It was a continuous problem on my 300Tdi - either had a small amount of judder or handbrake needed about 8 notches to come on...

Horn beep on alarming indicates door open. From what I can gather from Rave, the door open signal is sent to the Body Control Unit from switches in the door locks. Do your interior lights work properly? They would be controlled by the same switches. If this is the problem, maybe a...

Paddocks £68 ex VAT. Standard Bosch injector, so you shouldn't pay much more than that.

Hi, I think this is fairly common on Disco's - it sounds like the release bearing is about to give up the ghost. The bearing is held in a plastic/nylon holder and after a while, they start to disintegrate. I changed mine when I lived in Zimbabwe - obviously with that much work, it makes...

Hi, Looking at your video, most of the play is in the diffs and the gearbox - that is the rotaional play when your turn the shaft, and in my experience, is fairly standard for a Disco. There is definitely some play in the UJ's - you can see some movement where the cross prices go into the...

If this happens when changing gear, it's probably the switch on the side of the gearbox that reports the current gear to the various ECU's. Mine started doing this when I had an underbody wash done, and also when it's been very cold recently. It could be the switch needs adjustment, but if the...

Do both your seats have lumbar support? If so, how much are you asking for them? Cheers!

If your steering is out by only a small amount, adjusting the drag link is normally easier. Release clamps, turn drag link rod with stilsons, retighten clamps. Repeat until steering wheel is straight. I did the cruise control mode - I bought a kit with switches and the template off eBay for...

Hi, I had a 97 Tdi in Zimbabwe. Temps there midwinter were about +5. Always started 1st turn until about the 5th winter I was there. Found that ALL 4 plugs had died. I think as long as one is working, it will fire and the others then kick in. So I agree that checking the glow plugs is a...

30 to 40 degrees out sounds like a bent drag link! Check that first. As it's that far out, I'd check the Rave procedure for making sure the steering box is straight ahead first, then steering wheel, and then drag link for final adjustment. Airbags need battery disconnecetd for at least 10...

I have a 53 Disco. When you look at the gear lever charts, the left hand one doesn't show the diff lock, it just shows the H-N-L logo. The right hand one does seem to indicate diff lock. However, they changed the diff lock spec for the 2003 model year, and the diff lock seems to have been an...

Hi, My 300Tdi had a series of problems with overheating, including bursting two header tanks, and very similar symtoms to yours. Soon after, the water pump failed. Never had another overheating problem after that was replaced! Cheers!

Common cause of this is aircon drains blocking. This will show as wet, sometimes hot patch on the gearbox tunnel. The drains go down either side of the gearbox and have something that is supposed to keep the dust out. However, the water and the dust become mud and block the pipe. It's an...

I thought the three amigos was brake related - ABS modulator I think? Normally transmission sensor (XYZ switch) shows as S and M lights flashing? If the latter, you should be able to get the switch slightly cheaper than that, but not much.

I'd agree - sounds very like a turbo hose failure.

When I did my Disco 300Tdi, procedure was totally remove engine mounts, and lower engine pretty well as far as it can go. Then the lad that was helping me put two 12" extensions on a bar, and fed it along the top of the box from under the car. I reached in from the top, and when the engine is...

M & S lights together are the auto box saying they have a fault. I had this probvlem when I put the car through a car wash with underbody spray - reckon the water went in the WXYZ switch which is on the side of the gearbox. When this happens, gearbox goes into limp home mode and tries to start...
