Hello, and thank you from the start. Background: I’ve had Range Rovers for years, P38, L322, there was a discovery 3 in the mix. I now have an L405 4.4 TDV8. (2014 - 114,000, Full JLR history to 100.000) I love it. After purchase, I sent it for a health check at Venture 4x4 in Oxfordshire. There...

Freelander 1 TD4, 2004. Chaps, could you offer some sage advice? My brother has a beloved TD4. It’s a bit of a shed, full of crap and used for chasing an errant collie. It’s just been sent to a very trusted mechanic as the clutch is slipping a bit. However, when he tried to dismantle the bloody...

Good afternoon, I have been offered a P38. I sold my last one a few years ago. Since then, I have been keen to get another. A friend has a car that will be up for sale in the next month or so. However, he has no idea what it’s worth and neither do I. Can someone help? Details. 1. No previous...

Hello and Merry Christmas. My Freelander 1 TD4 (2004) has developed a strange fault. When cold, it hunts badly at about 2k revs. As it warms up, this improves and the revs at which it hunts increases to 3k then clears.After this, it runs fine till the following day. Fuel? It’s an old girl but...

So, my discovery 3 2007 HSE with rear AC went warm. I took it to a chap who is a lifetime AC guy now semi retired to have a re-gas. He vacuumed the system, did a test, checked everything, including the rear setup, added dye and concluded there was a potential tiny leak in the evaporator. He...

Hello everyone, today, my disco 3 tailgate wouldn’t open from the catch above the number plate. However, it does from the key. Please could someone explain the parts I will need to fix this and does anyone have instructions? Many thanks as ever.

Good evening. I am looking for a low (ish) price discovery for occasional use. An independent Range Rover dealer friend has a 2007, 2 owner car with full history for sale. He has used it for a year as a courtesy car. It’s a manual with 175k on the clock. I can have it at trade price. The only...

Good evening all. I am after a solid Discovery 3. I am keen on a car with very solid history and completely factory original. Mileage isn’t a big problem if the car has been properly maintained. Wish list would be (although not in anyway essential) Green or Blue Auto No ‘trick’ mods (actually...

Good morning. I am looking for a Disco 3 for occasional use and have come up with one locally. It’s a 2005 manual with about 160k. It’s had a recent full service and a new turbo but being sold as spares or repair due to a handbrake fault. I have done loads of reading about the electronic...

Good Morning. Is there anyone in the DERBY area willing to look at a defender for me? It needs some chassis work but I am keen to know how much. I live in Oxfordshire so chance of getting there. I have spoken to the owner and he is a nice guy. I am very willing to pay for any expenses. The car...

Good Morning. I have been offered a rare manual P38 4.0 petrol 1996. The car has only one owner from new and was specked up to vogue level by this owner as he wanted a manual, but could not buy the vogue model with this gearbox. The car is in Epsom green with tan leather and AC. The car has...

Hi everyone. Quick question if someone has a moment. My L322 3.6 is amazingly reliable and in the last year it has been a fantastic car. However, in the very cold weather recently it has struggled to start in the mornings. I have had to warm the plugs for about 4 cycles of the key and then the...

Good evening all. Please could I have the benifit of your collective experience. Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 2007 So, in the summer with the car running like a dream. I went out to lunch, parked the car and returned about an hour later and it refused to start. It had all of the symptoms of a flat...

Afternoon all, Please forgive my stupidity. Could some one explain what this is for? The owners manual does not make it at all clear. Many thanks.

Morning all, I am finding it very difficult to find an answer to this question. I have been offered a very clean L322 3.6 TDV8 with 130k. It has a good history and I can secure it at trade (7500) via a friend in the business. It came in as a trade-in and he retails much more expensive Range...

Hi all, I am selling my P38 and thinking along the disco 3 line. There seems to be a fair few around at the 10k mark with good history and reasonable mileage. My question to the disco experts are: 1. When should all of the bets have been changed? (Explanation of all the belts would be amazing!)...

L322 3.0 Td6 2003 I am looking at an L322 3.0 Td6 with a mileage of 56k. It has had only one owner and a full service history. With this mileage I am concerned that the gearbox will fail at the golden 80k mark. Am I being stupid? Also what else could be a potential problem area (I am talking big...

Morning all, could someone please advise? (P38 2.5 DSE 2000) From time to time, usually when the weather is very cold, I get the Book Symbol when first starting the car. The symbol remains and the blowers will only blow hot. However, if after a few mins I turn the car off then on again, the book...
