The buttons on one of my fobs have come off. The internals are all OK and I see lots of replacement fobs and blades on Ebay. These obviously aren't genuine but appear ok for what I need. Anyone got experience of these please?

I'm still into earlier Discos but this advert on Ebay caught my attention. If accurately described should be a nice example. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144951664175?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=SwHzEDcJSdK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=6W3SKkS3RmO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I've written about this before where a common problem with later D1 autos is that the diesel doesn't get to the injectors and all other fuel tests are OK. All the threads I've seen have gone dead or the injectors and pump have been replaced by parts from a manual, or the vehicles were scrapped...

I'd thought my Disco Td5 had very little corrosion. Last week I removed the front offside wing to deal with a little aluminium rash and was disappointed to find a lot of rust. It was caused by debris which had lodged between the plastic liner and the inner wing wheel arch. Luckily I've got it...

I recently bought a nice 95k mile 2005 Td5 auto, but it feels gutless even compared to my Disco 1 auto. Economy is also poor, under 25 mpg with sensible driving. I'm waiting to get it plugged in but in the meantime I cleaned the map sensor, egr valve (already fairly clean) and today tried...

I bought my Disco 2 a few months ago, parked it in the shed as I've been otherwise too busy to look at it until last week. Moved it around several times buffing paint and a few other minor jobs, but yesterday, M&S lights were flashing. I tried disconnecting the battery but still flashing. I'm...

I've never seen this before: On Facebook, owner wondered why his Disco was low. Compressor removed, just pump up at the same time as you check your tyre pressures. See the valve mounted into the panel

I've stupidly broken off the end off this vent. I can't see why it's necessary as there's the the larger vent and a breather in the tank. Anyway, any advice on the best method to repair, I've got tubes of seam sealer which seems to stick to anything, I think it's polyurethane based?

I posted here last year, never reached a solution. 96 300tdi auto, no spider, edc model. Vehicle is housed and rarely used but when being used for field work, goes perfectly for a while then fails to start, spins over only. No fuel to injectors but certainly getting to the injector pump. Twice...

I've a couple of Discos but this question relates to an old Vauxhall Firenza where I'm told, Land Rover lock barrels will fit. Through Ebay I've sent 4 messages to 3 sellers, they've just ignored my simple requests and won't respond. Anyone got a lock barrel on their bench: I'm looking for the...

I've a rusty 1997 Tdi automatic for farm use. It lives in a shed and comes out a couple of times annually. Earlier in the week I put a good battery in it and we used it all day, stop start, repairing fences. Next day it started well as usual but later on starter turned it fine but it wouldn't...

Hi folks, I know this subject has been discussed many times but I can't really find an answer to my problem. I have a nice 97 Tdi, bought 2 years ago but stored in a dry garage until recently when I got a new MOT. Here in NI, for the test, the wheels are driven onto a moving platform and the...

Hi folks, I'm fairly new to Disco ownership though have watched this forum for a few years. I live in N Ireland and bought a nice 98 Tdi auto last year near Kidderminster. It seemed much better than average, 100k miles, excellent original boot floor and generally tidy. I'm a bit of a...

I live in Northern Ireland and have been looking for a really good Disco TDI auto. They're hard to find and expensive, I'm even keeping an eye on Japanese imports. There's one advertised on Autotrader which caught my eye, described as being superb. I phoned this morning to discuss and ask for a...

My brother owns a rather nice Japanese import Disco. I've attached a pic of one of the wheels as we've never seen them on any other vehicle. They seem to be genuine LR items. Two of the centres are now missing, anyone recognise them or got any idea where he could get replacements?

My brother has a very nice, low mileage P reg Disco Auto which spent much of its life in Japan. He does some very heavy haulage (cattle), probably up to 4 tons on a 100 mile return journey and the Autobox couldn't handle it. Recently converted to manual but now sometimes has no power. I've had a...

I was looking at the drivers window on my brothers' 1996 Disco and will probably have to replace the regulator. When all was disconnected I noticed that the window becomes very stiff when pushed more than half way down. I can't see any reason for this nor can I see any method of adjusting the...
