no noise at all. Also when recovery man put water in it was pouring out but he did start it and drive it 100m to get to a bit safer place and it seemed fine but obvs that was only 100m

Yeah I’m sure it would go for £3000 privately

Thanks Russell, yeah wouldn’t be able to keep it to do it up really and need a 2nd car. This was originally bought for the 4 boys we have so they could all fit in but spent a lot on it since buying it so happy to sell and get smaller can and just run 2 cars. Webuyanycar say £1500 if working so...

Yeah I thought it steep but going to do it anyway! It was the loss of power that worries me about something more sinister.

Thanks, I’m getting them to do it anyway. Yeah dodgy section of a11 and roadworks, prob less than 2 miles but felt like that much going at 40

Hi all, Haven’t posted for a while but after a bit of advice if anyone could help I have a Landrober discovery td5. I was driving earlier and temp went up to 3/4 then dropped. Temp light came on and lost power. Was 2 miles before I could pull over safely whilst driving at about 40. Popped the...

Yeah thanks, that’s what I’ll do. It’s in LR specialists on Thursday so will get them to check

Brilliant Thankyou I’ll try that first and hope that is all it is

Haven’t gone underneath it yet but have checked and the ACE fluid and it is nearly empty. Could that be the cause of the light coming on?

Thanks, I’ll have a look when partner gets home. She says it is on red full time now tho

Hi all, Just after some advice please. Driving yesterday down windy country roads and there was lots of ‘muck’ on the road. Drove through it and very soon after the ACE amber light came on then was continuous red. Drove home carefully (about 2miles). Turned it on about 2 hours later and no...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Took it to the LT specialist today and they fixed the issue. Solenoid faults and after checking wiring in gearbox look found 3 damaged so they repaired. Cost of £169 so much cheaper than it could have been. Thanks for replying to my posts all!!

Yeah I must be honest I’m really appreciative of everyone’s advice. I love the beast but a big bill after only 2 months was just my main worry. Cheers again

Obvs I won’t know for sure until LR specialist look at it but would anyone think it sounds like it could need a new gearbox/transmission or is something like xyz switch or wiring thing more likely? Just getting worried about £1500+ for a bigger job

Cheers mate, I realised straight after posting I’d put it I. The wrong place so put it in that thread straight after and had some good advice. Thanks Hippo

Thanks guys, Lights were off this morning and driving normally stayed off. When got to a roundabout and stopped they came on as I pulled away. Tried again about an hour ago and lights were off from startup for about a minut then came on again and went limp mode for no apparent reason

Thanks, yeah the first garage I took it to saw about 10 faults and changed battery and cleared faults. M+s still flashing tho. 2nd local garage saw 3 faults but didn’t really want to deal with it. LR specialist will take it in next Wed but think they will be able to diagnose it within an hour...

Thanks, i'll check Cheers
