Evening all, My motor gave up on my driver's side window, so I bought a new motor, tested it and fitted it and put everything back together (a little prematurely!). When I tried the window, it got to about 2 inches from the bottom, clunked as if it was catching on something and then went into...

Hi fellas, Thanks for your replies - appreciated as always. I'll take all your advice on board. I'll get under it and have a look/play and maybe give the tester a ring. Cheers.

Hi all, Hope you're all well and enjoying your weekend. My MOT advises that the n/s suspension rod pin or bush is worn. Please can someone tell me what they are referring to and if it's a DIY job? Many thanks!

Thanks for your reply, Griff. Is it OK to pm you?

Morning all, I've been trying to diagnose a problem with my Disco 2 for quite a while (https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/twitchy-accelerator-and-lumpy-idle.371247/#post-5180283). I thought I'd solved it with a new MAF, but I don't think it's that. I wondered if anyone around Shropshire had...

Thanks, I already checked it and, thankfully, it's ok

You're right, it's a very poor design. I'm surprised at the number of counterintuitive component designs I've seen on cars, even BMWs and Mercs. I sometimes wonder what people are thinking!

Guys, I think I've found the problem. I took the harness out and the RTV, that I'd sealed the connectors and the plug with, is intact and I'm pretty sure that oil is not leaking through the wiring from the harness itself. I put an earbud into the male connector and it's dry. The oil is leaking...

I used Loctite 5910 and let it cure for about 2 days. I'm not 100% sure that it is the best sealant to use. The warranty will have been invalidated by filling the pots!

Good evening, There's been a lot of discussion about these and a lot of advice given, but I just wanted to know something in particular about these. The backstory is that I bought a Bearmach 'More durable than standard' wiring loom with a 3 year warranty and I filled the top of the pots and the...

Uodate to the problem: Faulty MAF! Thanks everyone.

Hi Folks, When I bought my Disco I noticed the drivers window struggling to go up. Not long after, it gave up the ghost. I fitted a new motor today and it works again but it's still struggling. It goes down quickly and smoothly but the motor seems intermittently under strain when trying to...

Evening all, The first inch of the accelerator pedal is very on/off, making it difficult to maintain a smooth speed at low revs When releasing the the accelerator pedal, there is a brief pause before the car suddenly decelerates.On tickover, the engine pulses every half second or so. It's not a...

Hmmm, think I'll cancel my order! Thanks for your input guys.

You make a very reasonable point! I did a bit of digging on the subject and quite a number of people recommended using the cold climate fluid. I think I got carried away with all my fluid buying (although I didn't get sucked in to buying Difflock fluids for the gearbox/trans box and diffs!).

Not a silly question. The steering is getting a little groany at times and I know that this fluid has been in for the last 3 years and 30k miles since the the steering box was replaced. I thought I'd do it whilst doing all the other fluids.

Evening all, The current PAS fluid is red ATF stuff and I want to replace it with the proper green stuff. Owners seem to suggest either sucking it out of the reservoir and repeatedly filling over time or, bleeding it whilst pouring new fluid in. I'm concerned that both methods will mix fluids...

Thanks. Should I then connect the coolant pipes via an adapter?

Hi brianp38dse, I appreciate the welcome. Just got in from putting a new downpipe on. What a palaver! :eek:

Morning folks, I bought a blanking kit for my 2002 Disco TD5 but I didn't anticipate it having a cooler. I have seen people blanking off either side of the cooler as well as at the manifold. Is this necessary? I just want to make sure before I crack on with it. Many thanks, Charlie.
