Hi all, I got hold of a 3/4 Discovery TD5 Chassis off a truck with 46k miles on it. No welds, no rust, only the very lightest of surface discolouration. I got it as my Disco had rotted on the very last rear quarter. The bloke i got it off was future proofing his by fitting a galvanised chassis...

I've pretty much always paid for my cars to be serviced. i know its fairly straight forward to maybe most of you reading this, but on Sunday I did my first service on the truck. Oil, both filters, fuel filter and diff oils. Service book says 7000 miles since last service. Now it might be me just...

Hi Guys, Ive a 2004 D2 with 130,000k on the clock. Yesterday after driving to work with no issues my wife phones me to tell me the gear stick is very stiff and wont engage reverse, i go check it out and sure enough it will go into first with a bit of wiggling but not reverse at...

Hi all, are the coin and ashtray's an easy fix when they stop automatically working? I've only just picked my Disco2 up and during the test ride both trays worked fine, gentle push in and they released easily on their springs. After a trip to the garages valeting service I...

Hi all, a couple of questions if you dont mind. I have a 2000 model p38 fitted with sat nav. The buttons to the left of the screen all illuminate green when the 'on' button is pressed. The screen however remains black with no signs of flickering. 1/Does the screen fail to cause this or...

Hi all, While returning from a weekend away with the caravan I'm afraid I jinxed myself. I had only just sung the Rangies praises for another faultless holiday when EAS fault displayed briefly, the height indicator told me I was on full extension, the ride height indicator lights all...

Hi all, While driving to work last night the internal lights kept coming on then going off with the dash display saying just that, Lights on. Lights off. They eventually went off and now don't work when the doors are opened but still work off the buttons. any ideas please. ta

Hi Guys, On these wet days, getting in the car results in the windows on the inside misting over. I don't have heat to the Drivers side, just cool so I am thinking blend motor, but why isn't my aircon clearing the moisture? The system needs a recharge so will it just be that? Or is some vent...

Hi all, Was in Salisbury yesterday at an Indy garage and saw a P38 4.6 autobiography with a front winch bumper and winch fitted. It had an external rollcage, looked like it had a lift kit and had 265/60/18 cooper STT tyres. It was huge. Did make me smile though, as aggressive and purposeful as...

Hi all, when I bought my Rangie the Indy said the sat nav didnt work perhaps due to the car being jump started. Wheteher thats the reason or not, the screen is blank with not a hint of a flicker. The button to turn sat nav on illuminates green indicating power so I'm guessing its just the...

Hi all, when taking off my fuel filler cap I get quite a lot of pressure build up. Is this normal or are there some tank vents that are blocked? If so are they an easy repair/fix? many thanks, itchy.

Hi all, a little direction if you please. Its not major but it feels like I'm down on power. Engine revs fine but with what i would discribe as 'bobbling' untill about 2000rpm. Car now seems to shake more at tickover, when driving the revs rise fine but the car does not seem to respond as...

Hi all, after a drive, with the car held in park or neutral, if I press the brake pedal I can here a servo engage or the pump increase, then when I release the pedal the car 'curtsies'. Nothing major, no drama just a discreet, posh bow. Front dips then rises. I've told my wife its...

Hi all, been trouble free for a while but now must ask again!! (too good to last) My P38 4.0 unlocks on the fob, but the almost straight away relocks itself. putting key in ignition the engine wont crank or anything. Lights come on but no 'engine dissabled' or any other message...

Hi all, I returned from a short break towing my caravan. After manouvering my van away the car was turnrd off and left overnight in low range. i went to start it today and although it turned over freely she would not fire. the fuel pump primes. In the warning light cluster whilst cranking the...
