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

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...

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 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...

I could blame the wife, but last year i put a tankful of U/L in my 2000 Disco Td5 - it was OK afterwards, just a noisy fuel pump. 10k miles later, i did it again in February although only 2 litres this time - after 30 tankfuls i was hoping the U/L had just diluted through - but the noisy fuel...

I stuck a load of blue antifreeze in my TD5 earlier today only to be told by one expert that it's a big no no - he reckons Discos must only have the more expensive Red coolant due to the corrosive effect of the blue on the aluminium head. So, off i trot to buy the red coolant only to be told...

hi, i'm skint, but the X plate Disoc needs new discs and pads all round. quotes from my usual tyre/brakge garages are around £350-400 to replace. firstly - i found disc and pads sets on Paddock spares for £35 per pair - are these sets rubbish? secondly, how difficult a DIY job is it - (i'm...

hi guys I fitted a new air spring to the rear of my 2000 X plate Td5 Disco this afternoon. When i turned ignition on, it didn't inflate! is this correct? - i drove it very slowly forward and it inflated to full pressure after 10-15 metres. i haven't been under the car much, but now...

I have an Xreg 2000 TD5 7-seater, auto. i thought i had a dodgy air spring at the back - but now the car won't even start. All you get on turnover is a load of chattering rleays and the dashboard lights up like a fiary (Traction control, ABS, Sus0pension lights and auto modes (M&S) i...

hi - i've recently bought a 2000 TD5 Disco - ES model - but the rear boot Audio controllers don't seem to work at all. is this a common problem and rectifiable or is it a wiring issue? (i'm not that fussed about them but it'll stop the kids moaning if i can fix it easily enough!) cheers wilf

i have a 2000 TD5 Disco - when i purchased it, there was no towbar so i want to fit my own - i have bought the genuine LR electrics part, but need to know how i get access to the socket (which i believe is behind the Offside Light cluster). Is there an easy way to remove the trim from the inside...
