My brother has a 2004 RR 3.0L dsl auto and is having a suspension problem. The front can go very high and the rear low and then the opposite happens.A local garage offered to attempt to sort it (or at least find the problem) using a Launch scanner. No luck - and problem got worse if anything.The...

My brother has a 2004 RR 3L dsl with about 145K mls on the clock. All was well until 2 days ago. While driving home he noticed the rev counter was climbing but speed staying the same. Eventually he had no drive. By switching off and restarting he made it home - getting about half a mile from...

My bro-in-law has a Freelander 2001 Td4 with about 135K on the clock . Today he rang me as a water hose had failed and he was wondering if he would drive it home and keep topping up . I advised him not to - and he had it recovered to my place . It was left across the road as my driveway was...

My bro in law has a 2001 Freelander Td4 . There is a 'blow' in the exhaust and it's from the joint where the front pipe is attached to the turbo . He went to the local main dlr to get a gasket for this joint - but no luck . They can't find any on their system - and couldn't tell us for sure if...

A friend has a 98 Range Rover auto with the 2.5 BMW dsl engine with 150K on the clock . It starts fine but unless well warmed up it will cut out (most times) as soon as you select Dor R - it can be very frustrating trying to get going . I also notice that with the engine idling if you press the...

Have a 2001 Td5 with 206 K on the clock. Drove to Galway this morning ( approx 20 mls @ -4/5 C ) - no problems until end of journey when I thought I had a flat . Turned out the rear suspension had gone down on both sides - (yellow light illuminated on dash ) . Parked it for a while - started up...

A friend has a year 2000 Td5 and it appears the fusebox has a big problem due to dampness ( Disco parked up for 2 months ). He has located a SH fusebox but would like to know if : (a) the fusebox has to be programmed in to the Disco in some way and if so is it a main dlr job -he has a Launch...

Brother in law has a 2001 Td4 . Friday evening he came home , Freelander running fine , half an hour later wouldn't start - said it was turning over but no go . Sat morning I started it with jump leads ( thought there was a big current draw when switched on) ran OK Sat and Sun . Going to work...

My brother has a 96 300 Tdi ES manual and the speedo has begun to act up - sometimes doesn't work at all and at other times bounces up and down . Any ideas on where to start looking appreciated .

Would anyone know the outside diameter of the spigot bearing in an 01 Td5 . I'm changing clutch , flywheel etc but the new spigot bearing just slides in and out of the crankshaft - no sign of interference fit . The end of the crankshaft seems fine and though the old spigot bearing was damaged...

I'm taking the engine out of my 01 Td5 to renew clutch / rear crank seal etc . I also intended to renew the front crank seal while the engine is out . Looking at Rave I see the torque is 336 ft/lbs - the last time I used this was on the crank pulley of a 5 cyl Transporter and it was really...

Started my Td5 this morning and immediately there was vibration and it was also noticable through the clutch pedal . Went after a few minutes but came back again . In hindsight there was occasional vibration at about 50 mph but I was thinking it was UJ / doughnut etc even though they all checked...

My brother had a phone kit fitted to his 96 Tdi ES yesterday and afterwards the SRS light stayed on , the ABS light wouldn't come on at all , fuel gauge stuck at 3/4 full and dash lights failed to come on . Today the company called back the guy who installed the kit - dash lights are back ...

I'm changing the radiator in my 01 Td5 but can't get the viscous fan off . I presumed it is the same as the 300Tdi - as you look at the engine from the front you turn the nut clockwise to loosen it . I've had no luck so far using an adjustable spanner which works fine with one of the pulley...

My Td5 when being refilled this evening had about 16 L of unleaded added before mistake was noticed . It was then filled to the brim with diesel and has been driven about 2 miles since . Should it be OK or should it be drained - advice greatly appreciated . It ran fine for the 2 mls but I'm not...

I bought a 2 post lift about 2 years ago when I had a 300 Tdi and was very pleased with the set up and carried out a lot of work on the Disco with no problems and always felt the vehicle was reasonably stable . A few months ago I bought an 01 Td5 and last night was my first time to put it on...

I read on a thread recently where a Range Rover with air suspension all round was showing a light on the dash following a tyre change using a 2 post lift . It was suggested that the problem was caused by the use of a 2 post where the axles are allowed hang down and the height sensors may need...

I have a 01 Td5 since August and before giving it to me the previous owner fitted a new regulator to the drivers window. Yesterday evening as I raised the window there was a bang and the sound of something falling inside the door - and of course the glass headed down. Jammed the glass up and...

I have an 01 Td5 with 170K up and have it since August . I'm very pleased with it but it has been losing a small amount of coolant over the past few weeks - problem is I can't figure out from where . There is a little pool of coolant on the undertray as you look down past the air con compressor...

A friend has asked me to change the belts on his 98 Freelander which has the dsl engine . I have changed plenty of belts mostly on dsl cars and a few 300 Tdi's . I have a Haynes manual for the Freelander as I changed an engine in a Td4 last year and it also covers the L engine. However from past...
