I had to top up the engine oil a little yesterday and, not paying enough attention, put too much in. GRRR Any ways it is now up to the F in FULL on the dipstick, about half inch above the marker for full. What do the wise ones recommend? Get it to someone with a ramp and dain some out...

I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that my 01 TD5 gets up to operating temperature in about half the time it used to take, on its first run in the morning. It now takes about 4 mins as opposed to about 7 - 8 mins previously. I have also had totop up the coolant a little over the...

I had the cheaper of the EGR blanking kits installed last week as part of a service, this involved just the in-line blanking plate and gasket. The lads doingg the work were not familiar with it and just installed the blcanking plate for me as part of the works being done. Everything does...

I would like to change the transmission fluid in my 2001 TD5ES and have had a chat with my indie who will do it as part ofthe next service. However, Difflock state that these are sealed for life units that do not need fluid replaced...

All the power steering fluid just flooded out of my td5 over the weekend while some distance from home. could not see where it came from, but all came out in space of a few seconds I reckon. Hope it is just a pipe off somewhere. My LR specialist lad is looking at it today. Question is...

Having tradrd my 97 300tdi for a very clean 01 td5 ES auto with 31k miles, I am really happy with it. The heated windscreen and seats are great these cold mornings! Just one thing though, the interior lights do not come on with the openning of doors or unlocking. They will only work with...

My rear door windows stopped working last night, front ones fine. Neither the buttons between the front seats, nor the buttons on the door do anything. I have tried to 'override lock' switch in both positions to no effect. Would not be such a problem but one of them is open a couple of...

Are these a regular failure item? Mine seems to be on the way out, the main pulley looks loose and it is whining a bit. I am having someone look at it today. The engine has been loosing all its coolant / water quickly over the past few days. Please say these are connected, the oil seems...

My 97 ES will not blow hot air through the internal vents unless you are barrelling along on the motorway or a fast road. The engine heats up ok and the guage sits alright but even after getting through the vents on a good run, when you are stopped in traffic, after a while they go back to...

I just picked up a 1997 300tdi (ES) manual and have a few queries. I also have a 1994 300tdi which is heading for scrap (rust on chassis - otherwise ok). The back door won't open at all - is it easy to take the liner off and get at the linkages. The central locking on the front passenger...

I have just been speaking to a local dealer who was having a look at my 94 Disco 300 Tdi who reckons that the chassis is fairly rotten with rust. I had a fair idea when we got it that this may be the case. There are other miscellaneous probs; kingpin bearing in steering shot, couple of hubs...

I have read references to waxoil with respect to the Discoverys. Am I wrong in assuming this is a protective coating tat can be applied to the undercarriage. Is it worth doing? How much does it usually cost and does anyone know where in Ireland you can get it done? Apols if this is a...

Good morning. I picked up my new 94 300TDi manual last night, just over 100k miles and loads of service histroy. Really happy with it and it rides really well. Question I have is, the power seems to be really low. On a flat road, I can get it up to 65 mph (eventually) but when you hit any...
