Hi everyone Sorry I went off the radar. We took the disco to a local Audi mechanic ( I know, I drive a land rover, but he came recommended and after the luck we've had with mechanics I felt a bit better about having as recommendation. It turn out to be the alternator. . . This was originally...

Thank you for all your help. We should know someone with a multimeter we can use to check alternator and battery. I'll get my other half to look at the pictures and video's when he gets home. I'm not sure where the wires go to a the other end. I'll have a look before it goes dark. If...

pictures of the wire and pipe the AA man was on about from left hand side of engine as you look it from front of car.

I think it might of been in neutral. Do they bounce out of high/low sometimes?

yes I will. i feel like I've just been taken for a bit of a mug as I'm a woman in a male environment. Horrible stereotypical thing to say, but basically I've been charged a lot of money for not a lot of work. :(

Oh well it was a black pipe towards the back of the engine that he was pointing at. I shall check the transfer in a minute. I might look like a total tit if that's the case.

Sorry, suspension issue - after accident the car was sat at a bodyshop for a while waiting for insurance to agree on stuff. when they started working on it the suspension de-flatted.

I don't know of any reason why that would prevent drive but I'm no fan nor expert of electrickery ......Transfer box in neutral? That sounds right. As I was trying to pull away, it felt like I was putting it in gear but it was just revving like I had it in neutral.

Thanks for your replies. I think I'm going to get another battery tomorrow. As I think the suspension issues may have been due to the battery been on its way out. Then the last few cold nights have just finished it off. It's a manual gearbox. The wire was a light blue colour. One of 2 down...

Hello. I'm new to the group, but I'm hoping you lovely people in the know can help me with my car. It's a discovery TD5 on a 04 plate. The poor old girl has been through the wars, but she always gets me home. Until last night that is. We took my step son to a boxing competition about 50 miles...
