I was wondering if anyone on the forum could help me please. I have been told about a "bush" that can be fitted over the output shaft of the Discovery Steering Box to stop it from leaking. I have a new set of seals to fit but have been told that it will leak again because of the wear in the...

My Td5 disco has lost its guts. There is no pulling power at all. It's auto an from a standing start you have to push the pedal right to the floor. She slowly moves off an until the turbo comes in there is nothing. I though it might have been the air glow metre so i changed it. It made no...

Hi can anyone help please. My Td5 auto disco has been sitting up for around three weeks. I went out this morning to take it a run. When I started it the green cog lights started flashing on the dash. From park to neutral is fine on the dash display. When I select Drive. 1,2 or 3 it displays D on...

I really need some help with my 2003 TD5 Discovery. About 3-4 weeks ago I noticed starting off from a standing start there was no power at all until the turbo kicked in. I though it may have been the MAF so I disconnected it. The difference was even more noticeable so I thought it mustn't be...

I have got my hands on an older Td5 Disco. I'm going to use it soley off road. With the price of diesel at the minute I think it's a waste to use White diesel in it. My question is will the red diesel run in the Td5 and will it cause any damage to any of the engine parts?

After a lot of tooing and frooing I took the rear drive shaft off my wife's Freelander. Now the car is steering and driving nicely. So this lead me to the conclusion that the viscious coupling is knackered. My question is can the car be driven like this or will it cause damage over a period of time.

Can anyone tell me how the hell you get the outer rear body mounting bolts out of a Disco 2? I'm talking about the one directly infront of the rear wheels. I tried to fit a set of side steps to a friends Disco today and it was a nightmare. Firstly it was supposed to be a 2 hour job, then Land...

Has anyone heard of the front diff/gearbox giving trouble on an 02 Td4 freelander? It's cutting front Tyres off like nobodys business. Tyre squeel from the front on roundabouts and a pushing of the front in corners. I'm also starting to get a wheel bearing type noise although they all seem fine...

Okay as they say stupid is as stupid does, so I'm going for the prize of stupidest question this year. I have heard people on the forum talking about de cating and de egr valving their Disco's. Can anyone tell me the benifits of doing this? I know what both of these parts do and may possibly do...

When I first got my old SIII someone many years ago had converted the engine to run on LPG. By the time I got it the tank had been taken out, the engine had been changed and the conversion was disconnected and in a sorry state. I removed all the pipework and equipment and binned the whole lot. I...

Hi Guys, just a quick one about my TD5, I have noticed this past few mornings it has been colder. On starting my Disco it sits and ticks over just under 1000 rpm. Once it warms up it drops back down to the usual 750 ish rpm. Was wondering if there is a sort of cold start system on the truck...

Quick question, Will a power steering box from a Defender 90/110 fit an SIII 109? Fitting the pump on the engine is no problem just wanted to know if the steering boxes were the same........

I'm hoping to have my SIII finished over the next 3-4 months. I was wondering just how many people using the forum are from Northern/Southern Ireland. Also I was thinking of organizing a Land Rover run from Malin Head ( most northerly point of Ireland) down to Cloghane ( most southerly point of...

Was out in the Disco the oter day, stopped at a mates house and jumped out leaving it in reverse. Got back in and it wouldn't start ( natural enough ). So I thought it was the immobiliser playing up, locked it and unlocked it, no go. Noticed then it was in reverse and moved it into park, it...

Hi all, after seeing my disco laying on her arse this morning I took her over to my local 4x4 centre. He specialises in Land Rovers, he hooked it up the the diagnostics and it turned up 13 faults on the suspension :eek:. The compressor had over run due to another fault and had burned out. Brand...

Hi all, I have yet another question about my air suspension. Firstly I parked the Disco on the curb outside the house on Wednesday night. It never moved again untill first thing Monday morning when i took the girls to school. I headed down the street and out onto the main road, all at around...

Hi all, looking for some help here if possible. A few months ago I was getting a little wet patch around the drop arm of my steering box. (Disco 2003) It never really came to much until now. At the minute I'm having to refill the res every week or so. Its leaving an ugly patch outside the house...

Anyone have an SIII lower dash section for sale? Someone before me removed the lower section of my dash and all the heated ducting.

Hi all, I have been trawling through a few different Land Rover sites over the past few days. I came across a vehicle that is origionally a S3 109. The owner had fitted a 110 bonnet and moved the rad grille out to the front to square it all off. (Sorry it was a 110 grille) Is this just a matter...

At some point in my S3's life it has had a hard knock on the front end of the nearside Chassis Section. The front spring hanger is sitting around 20mm lower on the near side than the off side. This didn't concern me until I was underneath and found a kink in the chassis where it has now started...
