    Disco 4 (LR4) Alternator replacement - eye-watering quote from dealership

    Thank you for replying so quickly and confirming that it would be much cheaper if I'd done it myself. It's stranded at the dealership now so I don't have much choice.

    Disco 2 PAS feed pipe leak

    Another LR design special... The feed from the PAS reservoir to the pump loops under the sump and it rubs against the bottom edge. At 14 years old the foam insulation around the pipe has finally fallen off and the pipe has rubbed until a small hole has appeared. Because it's the feed to the PAS...

    Disco 2 Disco 2 Driver door lock broken

    Exactly the same happened to me too! I've been looking at expensive whole lock replacements; I'll give this a try. Many thanks.
