Another small annoying problem. Fuel flap releases no problem, only issue is it won't close properly. I had this a while back. The small plastic clip that is secured inside the flap was broken and the small bar that secures the cap in place when it is closed could not engaged. I replaced the...

Disco as always performed really well in the snow. Issue occurred yesterday evening, when it started to misfire. Had it been a petrol car, I would have said plugs or leads. The misfire is only present up to about 1500 rpm, after which it seems to clear. I am convinced the engine seems louder...

The 3 amigos are on and it would appear that both front wheel bearings need replacing. Original landrover ones cost an absolute fortune. OEM are about £120 and then there are aftermarket ones. One company sell them for £65 and reckon they are as good as OEM. Britpart are about £60. As i'm having...

I have the very basic heater control - non digital. The bulb blew a while back and I managed to find out how to access it. I couldn't pull the bulb out and ended up bu breaking it. It appeared to be housed in a small black plastic holder. I pushed this and it went back towards the bulkhead and...

Hi. It has been quite a while since I have posted. Would really appreciate some more advice. When my fan heater is on, it blows out hot air. However, there is a high pitch whistle from what appears to be the motor. It sounds as though something is in it. Is it easy to access the fan? If so, how...

My son is due to start at Plymouth university and has decided to take his car (non Discovery). I do not know Plymouth and would welcome any recommendations for a decent mechanic/garage. When you don't know the area, it is so easy to get ripped off. I don't relish those calls that start with my...

Just got back from Plymouth, which was a 220 mile drive. Disco drove superbly. We were collecting my son and all of his clobber from University. All fitted in the back of the Disco, with 4 of us in the car. Due to late night, early morning I drove the first part, but, was too tired to carry on...

Can anyone help? I need a part ASAP. For the past year, I have had problems with my clutch. We have finally identified that the issue is a pipe, which I have mentioned before. It is the pipe that has a plastic pigtail and joins onto a long piece that I believe goes to the slave cylinder. The...

My Daughter would like a Land Rover 90 for her first car. Ideally what she would like is a soft-top with back seats in it. IN addition to this, she would like a roll bar, bucket seats and harnesses for seat belts. My budget for buying the 90 is about £4500. I have had a few Land Rovers but have...

I appreciate there are mixed views about polybushes. I have decided to opt for them as quite a few bushes need replacing. Cost is an issue. Britpart are the cheapest and it would appear that many people slate them Has anyone had any positive experiences with britpart polybushes?

I have been losing clutch fluid and a garage has now identified it as the pipe running from the Master Cylinder to the Slave Cylinder. In fact, there are 3 pipes and 2 need replacing. Total cost for pipes is £200. Garage informed me they had to get a genuine LandRover part, I made a few calls...

My drivers seat is quite tired and the lumbar support is no more. I would like to get another seat. Can anyone tell me where I can find the name of the cloth on the seat? I am trying to find a second hand seat. Besides using Exmoor trim, could anyone suggest a suppler for a new seat,or...

Last week, I had a slight issue. To cut a long story short, the Disco was rolling backwards down a slight incline and before I went through someone's fence (which was getting very close), I decided that I needed to stop the Disco. The only way possible was to pull the handbrake on. It stopped...

Since I bought my discovery, there has been a leak. It does not have any sunroofs and the leak has always shown on the headlining from the top of the passenger door to the grab handle. It has run the length to the windscreen. I have just removed the headlining and run a hose over the roof. There...

Hopefully, it is not the Head Gasket. For you mechanics amongst you, you may well laugh at my suggestion. For quite a while, I have had a water leak and it has accumulated to the point that I have been able to take a couple of photos. 1 shows the leak from a distance, but, allows you to put it...

despite not having sunroofs, I still appear to have a leak and the only way to sort it out is to remove the headlining. My series 1 disco was easy. I have searched online and can find very little about removing a disco 2 headlining. Can anyone help?

The water in fuel filter light came on the other day. Changed the filter, yesterday and all fine. After driving 40 miles, light has come back on. Any suggestions? I wonder if the sensor connections need cleaning, although all looked fine. Thanks.

Just had a new Steering box fitted - steering is now very positive. Just looked at power steering level and noticed it is down to the minimum mark. Just been to local auto centre who could not find the same spec as quoted in the manual. Do I need to go to Landrover to get the correct spec?

I purposely bought a Discovery without sunroofs so that I could avoid the dreaded leaks. However, I still appear to have a leak. It is on the passenger side between the A-Post and sun visor. Given that water travels down, I don't think it is from the windscreen. It has been suggested it maybe...

I think bearings have gone on an idler. Before I can order a new part, I need to identify the name of the part. It is one of the pulleys the auxillary belt goes around. It has no AC or ACE and is the pulley furthest away from the tensioner and nearest to the air filter. Can anyone provide me...
