I have parted company with my Disco 2, banked the money and taken a company car again. 20,000 miles a year in a 13 year old diesel gussler was draining me. I had a huge list to choose from and wanted something spacious with a good driving position so I went down the SUV route and got a Honda...

The CD cartridge under the driver seat won't eject when I press the button. A "no cartridge" reading shows on the head unit. Any ideas how I can sort this problem please? Thanks.

My reversing lights aren't working (Disco 2). I've replaced the bulbs with no joy. I've looked in my Haynes manual and fuse 25 is responsible for these and the brake lights. The brake lights work though so what could it be?

I need a new rear wiper blade. I got a new front ones from Halfords who don't stock the rear blade, it's a dealer part they say. Where is the best mail order to get these from please? I have used M&M 4x4 and Bearmach in the past for other bits. I see a few of you have used Paddocks. Any...

I started by Disco Td5 up this morning and got the warning chimes followed by the ABS, traction control and hill descent lights staying on, all day despite numerous stop starts. It's under warranty so it's back to the garage on Friday but I am interested to know what the problem is. Is it a...

My Disco 2 front sun roof appears to leak like a sieve. I suppose those weather was going to find it out. Water is dripping through the sun visor mounts so I want to get it sorted. Firstly, it's still under the three month warranty from the garage where I bought it last week, so hopefully...

Yup, all excited. I have px'd the Gaylander and bought myself a nice 2001 Discovery Td5 Adventurer. I'll take a few pics over the weekend and see if I can upload a few. It seems to have plenty spent on it, new clutch, rear air bags, wax oiled last year...... Hopefully it's not a lemon...

I have an 04 Freelander 1. This week I have been parking the car on the drive which is an uphill slope. The brakes have been sticking on when trying to drive off. I have done a search but can't find anything conclusive. Is there anything I should be worried about?

I know it's winter and all that but trying to find the "right" price for a Td5 or TDI is like a lucky dip. Some private listings are making some dealers look cheap! Prices seem to vary from £2200 to £4000 for similar spec'd vehicles. Maybe I'll wait until Spring when the winter fever has died...

There is a fantastic looking Disco 2 fairly local to me. It sounds like a V8 and it's a lovely metallic burgundy colour. I don't know if it's a "special" spec or anything but it has unusual Holland & Holland style alloys. The spokes are colour co-ordinated like they are. Full black leather, the...

I fancied some ATs for my Freelander so I have gone for a full set of these. I know they're a budget tyre but the price seemed so good. I read some reviews and the consensus seems to be that they are excellent value and a good cheap alternative to the more popular and more expensive brands...

I fancied some ATs on my Freelander so I have gone for a full set of 5 of the above. They seemed a great price, I know they're a budget tyre, but I'll see how I get one. I read some reviews and the consenus seems to be that they seem to be a very good option and great value. Has anyone...

This is becoming a nightmare already and he hasn't even passed his test yet. He probably will on the 19th but I can't even seem to get a quote for him as a named driver. It seems insurance companies have wised up to parents lying about the amount of use their kids are taking up driving and will...

I've just tapped my 17 year old son's details into Gocompare. For the sake of the exercise I assumed he had just passed his test' which he hopefully will at the end of June. I got a quote from Admiral for just over £1300 for him on my 04 Freelander 1.8 petrol. This seemed a lot less than some...

I have just bought an 04 1.8 petrol Freelander from a local dealer. He has given it 12 months MOT and a service as part of the deal. By coincidence it was at 72000 miles. I pointed out that the cam belt should be changed with the 72000 mile service. He didn't do it and has quoted me £250 plus...

Oops!

Sigh! Unfortunately I can't afford to run two cars at the moment, so Clifford has to go. For sale is my excellent Land Rover Discovery 300tdi ES. This has been off road prepared but sadly has to go. I can't afford the luxury or running two cars at the moment and so this has to go. It was...

A job for the bank holiday, fitting a new alternator. 1. Disconnected the battery-done! 2. Removed belt-done! 3. Undone the three electrical connections-done! 4. Removed the top bolt-done! Aaagh! I can't for the life of me find a way to reach the bottom bolt. I'm doing this on the road...

Has anyone had any experience of these arches from M&M 4x4? They are £125 for a 5 door set, which seems very reasonable. I have used them in the past for a few bits and pieces and they have been very good. What about these arches? Any feedback? Thanks...
