Hi. Thanks for your advice. I already a Autel obd reader.... Can you let me how I use it to try and narrow the fault down from the live data.?

Cheers for the help. P2263 - 22 Red light restricted performance etc. Garage did smoke test, couldn't find any leaks...

Hi. Anyone know the easiest place to get fairly close to the turbos so that I can spray in a turbo cleaner. The closest I seem to be able to get is the hoses on the downstream side of the MAF (which seems a long way away from the turbo itself!) I assume it's much easier with a ramp, but I'm...

Hi guys I have a 54plate D3 - the buttons on the steering wheel for the audio and cruise have always been a tad temperamental but have now packed up altogether. They only seem to work with the wheel turned to the 10 O'clock position. Any magic fixes? Cheers W

sorry (more ignorance ) - how you actually check it's free running if it's electronically operated - do you give it a wiggle or .......?

Cheer. Excuse the ignorance, where is the turbo actuator.... (presumably somewhere near that front airbox near where the egr hoses hit the top). Cheers

Cheers for all the help thus far guys. The car was driving like a pig this morning and I dropped it back to the Garage to pick up the Fault codes that they read on Friday. They re-read them as of this morning and they are: P0405 - EGR Circuit Low Sensor A P0046 - Turbo Boost Control Solenoid -...

I thought I also ought to check the turbo hose. I've just been out under torch light and had a good look at the turbo hose - no signs of any splits but obviously I can only see the top section! However, lots of oil/gunk around the box which presumably houses the butterfly valve!

cheers do you need to remove the butterfly valve as well (read that somewhere) easy DIY job for a cretin!!?? W

Cheers for the advice. Disco has been serviced and a litre of 2-stroke run through it, plus when they serviced it they ran their own 'special' cleaners through it. Car still runs pretty much the same (i.e. won't pull away for several seconds, and won't go up hills!!) the Garage reckons...

Hi chaps, I have a 54 plate disco 3 tdv6 with 95k on the clock. It's developed a problem that it's incredibly sluggish to pull away. Once it gets going it's ok ish (after big clouds of smoke) but still lacks a bit of power. I towed my boat 300miles a couple of weeks back and after a...

hi guys - I need some help. My 54 plate TdV6 has a power/gearbox problem. Engine starts fine, but going to pull away in Drive and I can press the throttle right down without much happening - car just trickles forward. Eventually the car appears to kick down and off we go, but with very...

Anyone out there had experience of using D B L Land Rover in Nailsea? any good, rubbish, good with Defenders, Disco's......?!?!?!? cheers W

hi guys I've had discos for the past 10yrs and had my current 2000plate Td5 (85,000) for 4yrs. The auto box has recently started doing something wierd It was unning normally up until last week, but then on a run it started revving much higher than usual before changing up. Then on the...

hi guys I've had discos for the past 10yrs and had my current 2000plate Td5 (85,000) for 4yrs. The auto box has recently started doing similar things to what dee describes above. It was unning normally up until last week, but then one a run it started revving much higher than usual before...

hi guys, can i ask what dvd player you installed and whether it is now working OK. I'm looking to install a roof mounted unit to keep my herberts quiet on long runs, but reckon the quirky shape roof will limit the number of units that which actually fit! any thoughts cheers

this is a pretty dumb question, but how do you remove the cigarette socket from the centre console in my 2000 plate Td5? does it unscrew or what!!??!! cheers Wilf

hi guys my main dealer reckon they have replaced the drag arm on my series II Disco. (2000) the guy who did the MOT for me reckons that the other ball joints need replacing as well. Getting under the vehicle, the dealer has definitely renewed the arm/rod nearest the front of the car. So the ball...

hi guys, My 2000 TD5 Disco has develooed a fuel leak. Looks like it's at the back of the engine block somewhere. It's been dripping for about six months now (just a few spots each time you stop). The whole bay is covered in diesel smelling oil! My indie has looked at it this afternoon and...

hi guys I have a 2000 Td5 Disco which never gets washed or cleaned etc. (it's a landy!!!) Whilst we were skiing back in February (in France) one of the rear air springs went so it had to go into the local dealer in Chambery. The blighters replaced the air spring but had the cheek to wash...
