Hi, After having the Disco repeatedly throw all the warning lights on and grind to a halt only to restart fine I reluctantly bit the bullet and had a new high pressure fuel pump fitted at a shade under £1000. The car now runs great, really great,it has way more power and is a delight to drive...

Hi, I've a nice tidy 2008 Disco 3 SE which is great to drive but will occasionally just flip out and show every fault it can find, lower the suspension, HDC Fault, Limited gears, engine fault, Limp home the dash is lit up like a Christmas tree. Turn it off and restart and its fine, it likes to...

This is my second D3, my first having 200k miles was still going strong but a commercial model and I needed some rear seats, so with 165k on it and apart from knocking antiroll bar bushes the new car is a lovely drive but the heater is useless. With the engine at working temperature the heat out...

After running a 4.2 Supercharged Range Rover for 3 years the day has finally come for it to find a new home. With too many cars on the drive and pressure from the kids to be able to park somewhere near the house, we have decided to rationalise the fleet. Sold the S/C to a lovely couple from...

Hi, I've got a problem with my Alfa Brera where one of the air conditioning pipes has been rubbing on the engine cover and worn a little notch in the pipe letting all the air con gas out. A new pipe is over £200 and they are rare second hand. I was a nuclear coded welder back in the 90s and if I...

Hi Just back from Devon this afternoon and found my LR3 battery to be completely flat. Had a couple of issues with slow starting the beginning of last week so changed the battery for a high power item. This is the 1st time the car has been left without using it every day so suspect a heavy...

Recently purchased a Commercial Discovery 3 2006 and despite it having done 186,000 miles, it goes very well. The manual gearbox is taking some getting used to as I prefer auto, and it's not the slickest gear change I've ever come across but it does the job and I'm pleased with it. My problem is...

Sixteen years ago I was in a pub with a mate who ran a 2 1/2 year old Disco 2 V8 ES and wanted a new BMW X5 and was moaning about the trade in he was being offered on the Disco. So I offered to buy it cash at the trade in figure thinking I'll run it for a month or 2 and sell it and make a few...

Hi, After having 2 Disco 2 V8s the last one I stripped out and ran as a van I'm pretty conversant with all the problems that afflicted the MkII. I had to convert the last one back and sell it on as the fuel bills were crippling me and bought a van, which is more practical, cheap to run but mind...

Hi, Still in love with my Supercharged Vogue SE but would like to do something with the radio/satnav/cd player. It all works fine but is getting a bit long in the tooth and I would like a modern unit with Bluetooth, usb and all those other nice things. I fitted a nice Dynavin unit in my old 2003...

Hi, I've got a 2007 4.2 supercharged which is fantastic but I'm having an issue with the driver door window. When the window is opened all the way and then shut it will often run on the wrong side of the door A post seal, when the window gets to the top of it's travel it is then massively...

Hi, whilst I love my V8 disco 2 ES on a smooth billiard table flat road, I'm finding normal driving on current pockmarked, potholed roads becoming unbearable. The car seems to crash into every minor road imperfection with larger poor sections of road making the whole car shudder and shake...

Hi and apologies if this has been posted before. Car locks and unlocks on the key fob but I have to put the key hard up against the window or jam it into the door gap to get the receiver to see the signal. I've changed the batteries in both fobs but its still the same. Is the receiver at fault...

So, not used the disco in a while and as it lay sad and neglected on the drive I decided to get it running, clean it up and use it on our camping trip next weekend. Battery recharge and a clean had it looking and sounding lovely, a quick run round the block, hmm running a bit warm but topped up...

Hi, After another year of fantastic trouble free motoring in our 2007 4.2 Supercharged Rangie it was time for the MOT this morning. It passed but only just, with a couple of advisories for front brake discs and pads, lower track control arm and the rear brake pipes needing to be done it really...

Just a shout out to anyone who might be going from Accrington to Birmingham this week. Need a bonnet from an A Class Merc picking up from a breakers and dropping off in Birmingham. Happy to pay for fuel, tea and biscuits. Many Thanks Ian

Hi, The old Beastie has been running great with a recent French trip of 1500 miles, though occasionally it has been a little reluctant to start. When turning the key you would sometimes get nothing just a click, then try again and it bursts into life. We've had a couple of strange starter motor...

Hi wondering if anyone can help with my problem. I've had occasion to have to turn very sharp right and uphill at low speed (on a camp site) After completing the turn a very loud Thump Thump can be heard and felt through the car as though a tyre had become deflated on each wheel rotation. I...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this. I drive my D2 V8 everyday for work and never look at the milometer, mostly because it's obscured by the steering wheel. Today when refueling I thought I would reset the odo as I was going on a decent run and thought I would check my mpg. I was...
