For the past few days I have noticed quite a large amount of coolant leakage under the Discovery TD5 ES, particularly when parked but still hot. The coolant appears to drip from at least two places but they are both quite some way back from the engine and appear to be quite central to the under...

So, the motor which moves the driver's seat forward and back has now decided to no longer work. Not a major problem to begin with as invaribly I am the only driver so the seat rarely had to move. However the MOT is looming and i'm aware this this will result in a fail unless fixed. I have a...

Ok I'll start by saying that as a discovery owner I not only expect but have got used to the various rattles that manifest themselves at various times throughout its life. However the latest one has just about driven me to distraction in my attempt to find and resolve it. Quite simple there is...

Here's a question I hoped I would never have to ask. Ive got an old L reg discovery 1 and earlier today while doing approx 30 miles an hour someone thought it would be a good idea to pull the hand brake! Obviously everything locked up and when I had finished swearing I discovered that I could no...

The central locking on my 93 Discovery 1 works fine during the summer. However as soon as the weather turns cold the passenger door refuses to lock (until May) It unlocks with no problem but just will not lock itself during the winter months. Ive searched the threads here and cant find one that...

Mine has now just about had it, a comment the other day suggested that "you need to get a bit more bumper on that rust". So I'm now searching for a secondhand one in reasonable condition if anyone knows of one, ideally in the Kent/East Sussex/Essex area it would be appreciated. Secondly, am I...

On my old dicovery 1 the front wheels (same on both sides) starting locking up if I turn the steering wheel to full lock in either direction. Drives normally other than this except for a knocking noise and slight vibration. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this ? CG

Got an old 1993 discovery1. Yesterday noticed a new noise from the front end, at around 3000 revs when being driven. Hard to describe but very irritating as it starts as a vibration but develops into a tap tap tap type of rattle when de celerating. Today have noticed that when at low speed (car...

Ok here goes, Ive got an old 200 tdi (1993) with nearly 200.000 on the clock. It has given me virtually no trouble at all for the last ten years but recently a problem has developed with the alternator belt. It perhaps started 3 years ago when the belt broke, thinking nothing of it I replaced it...

Hello everyone, just a quick introduction. Ive been the owner of a 200 tdi for the past ten years during which it has given me virtually untroubled motoring. However recently a problem has developed and in searching the net for an answer I discover this forum and so thought that I would join...
