    Looking to buy a 1999 Range Rover 4.0

    I am thinking of buying a Range Rover and have my eye on a fully loaded 1999 4.0L model with 90K and service history. I have no problem with giving it the once and second over before buying. I bought a 1993 Disco 200 Tdi back in 2000 which has served me very well with little time out of...

    How to test alarm?

    My alarm and immobiliser appears to be working okay but the indicators don't flash when arming or disarming. Is this a fault or was it not a feature of 200TDI models?

    fault on my mates 200 tdi advise please.

    If it's been standing a while it could be any number of things and with 180K on it the chances are all of them. Blocked air filter. Blocked fuel filter. Water in the tank. Leaking fuel pump. Check sedimentor doesn't mean anything if no water comes out the sedimentor could be blocked...

    Landy Jerking whilst driving

    Sounds like the transmission is wound up, mine does that if it's done a lot of long haul constant speed driving, motorways and the like. Best cure for that is to find a long quiet stretch of road and drive in reverse for about 20 yards according to the book. Simple cheap stuff first, lets...

    tracking

    I had to get a pair of front tyres because of bad wear caused by the tracking being out. I would have done the work using the straight edge and string process as I've done on several cars in the past however I couldn't turn the adjustable rod. This is where your local tyre man comes in I...

    Air-con could do with a top up

    My 1993 200 TDI air con system is not as cold as it once was, up until this year it was sometimes necessary to turn the cooling down it was that good, seems it may need a recharge. There's no record of this being done before I bought her and I've not had it recharged since purchase in 2003...

    Immobiliser again

    I had trouble a couple of years back with the immobiliser coming on without being set, the problem appeared to be the soldered joints where the immobiliser module was fitted into the vehicle wiring loom. I remade all the joints and the problem disappeared until a couple of months ago. Part of...

    loose crankshaft pulley

    I am surpised it took so long for this to become apparent as the 200tdi is far from a smooth runner and will shake the best done up bolt loose. I had a similar experience of the crankshaft pulley bolt coming loose after a timing belt change but it didn't take long only a couple of weeks. There...

    Immobiliser issues

    My 1993 Disco 1 200Tdi has developed an intermittent fault where the immobiliser comes into action at will. I discovered one of the electrical joints under the steering head cowl to be suspect so have re made the joint using connectors. Now even though the joint is good the immobiliser...

    Key fobs

    Now there's a thing. I have a 200TDi 1993/94 model which needed replacement key fobs which I bought from Remote Key Ltd and they work just great. Instructions really simple and reasonably priced. However my indicators don't flash on arm or disarm regardles of whether I use the key or remote...

    I get 25 mpg

    Driving UK motorways between 55 and 65 I normally knock out 30 mpg. A recent trip to Brussels on, super flat French and Belgian dead straight motorways at 65 to 80 I got 25 mpg. On the return journey where time was on my side, at 55 I got 45 mpg. These figures include the short trip from...

    Braking problem

    I am wondering if I have the same problem. I have noticed that when in busy city stop/start traffic where braking can easily become erratic and sometimes sudden there is that "oh crap" feeling as nothing happens. Frantic old style pumping fixes it until there is time to take it slow again. I've...

    Noisy air con idler

    I had my timing belt changed at the end of July and now the air con idler pulley is making a terrible racket, always something else goes wrong when you fix another. I've oiled the bearing once a week now since August and I think it's about done. I am trying to get a new idler pulley for the air...

    What mileage is your Disco 1 on?

    My 93 is just past 144K. Original clutch, second head gasket and just had it's 3 timing belt at 143K. Starts first time every time all weathers, even the air-con has not been touched. Have to say it's been the most reliable car I've ever had.

    Disco 1 power steering jerky

    I have replaced the pump and steering is now smooth but not sure if it's working correctly. As steering has been a problem for so long I'm not certain if it's too heavy. Parking is a two handed job and self centre needs a little help, I understand the centre might be due to air so have bled the...

    Disco 1 power steering jerky

    Over the past few months I've noticed the power steering become irratic, sometime easy sometimes heavy but definitely jerky. I read a recent thread advising a complete swap of fluid in the system which I have done. There is improvement but this is only after driving for more than 20 minutes. I...
