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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I am looking for a garage to replace the cam belt on my 1993 Discovery 200TDI. I was going to get it done at my local shop/garage Delgrah Cross Country Rovers but they have either moved on or gone out of business. They had quoted me £250 all in so a bargain. If anyone knows what has happened to...

I have to replace my cam belt as the present one has come to the end of it's 70K life. I have found this kit on ebay Land Rover Discovery 200 tdi Timing Belt Kit on eBay (end time 23-Feb-11 10:53:49 GMT) which I was thinking of getting. Are there any special tools I will need? Are there any...

The other day I noticed the nearside front tyre on my 1993 200TDI is wearing on the inside. I think this is a tracking problem even though there is no drift or wander but my local Landrover guys say not and blame it on roundabouts. Can it be there is a minor problem with the joints etc which...

Accepted I have to get the loadspace floor replaced or at least within MOT spec. I have found a hole in the drivers side inner wheel arch. The hole is about 3 inches from the bulkhead and about 4 inches long and is along the wing seam from the bulkhead to the coolant resovoir. I need to know if...

I have a 1993 Discovery 200tdi which has recently taken to electrics failure just when you need her most. I have managed to trace all the failures to the fusible links. These links are 8 to inch long brown wires marked fusilble link which are crimped at both ends to a heavier duty cable. The...

Recently I've not been able to lock or unlock the tailgate door using the remote locking system. I unlock the door and have to use the key in the tailgate door in the unlock position before I can open the door. I thought the problem was down to the solenoid so I bought a replacement. Installed...

Should I hear the brake pads click evertime the pedal is depressed? At the begining of the year my 200 tdi failed it's MOT due to bad disc wear on the rear. On inspection none of the discs looked to bright so I replaced the lot, scoured the web and mags and got a reasonable aftermarket deal...

On my last MOT the tester commented on the rust along the seams of the load space floor. Looking at the floor pan it looks like the centre of the pan above the fuel tank needs to be replaced, I have seen the panel available for around £50. Is it possible to carry out an MOT acceptable repair...

The indicators don't flash when I activate or de activiate the alarm. All ideas greatfully accepted.

Just changed the headlight units on my 93 Discovery and can't find any guidance as to setting them. I suppose I need a mark on the wall just below the centres but how far back should the car be? The haynes book's no help just says go to a specialist.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good quality accessory wiring diagram for my 1993 Discovery 200TDI, specifically the factory fit air-con.

What mileage interval should the camshaft timing belt be changed? The records I have show a belt change at 70K current mileage is 133K.

While looking for the dim dip module I appear to have dislodged a connector or blown a fuse such the heater blower motors no longer work. All visible fuses are intact, I assume there must be others else where. My landrover falls in the up to '95 according to the manuals but they don't show...

The dim dip function no longer works, I bought a replacement but that didn't work. Does anyone know what voltages I should expect on the pins, the book doesn't say.
