Hello, this sounds similar to the problem we had on our 2001 Discovery auto. It would run ok for a while, then start to almost misfire and then as you explain "M" and "S" lights illuminate on dashboard. Engine was still idleing, but, throttle seemed inoperative. After switch off and restart...

Just thought I'd provide an update on this. After independent land rover technician changed turbo hose, car was better for a few days and then trouble started again. Needless to say the Disco went back - final cause of all this was found to be the accelerator pedal itself due to "fly by wire"...

Disco has now started to do this at lower speeds, e.g. 25mph, but again is intermittent. Checked wiring loom etc for oil, all the usual and absolutely nothing evident. It idles fine and is no more noisy than usual. Warranty has just expired, however, I telephoned garage and they have agreed to...

Hello, our 2001 TD5 GS Auto has recently started displaying a strange thing. It drives around town etc absolutely brilliantly and never skips a beat, however, the issue arises when we attempt to either accelerate on a long stretch or uphill. This morning we were joining the A12 and as my...

Thanks Battenburg, it does exactly what you said. I can oly assume then this is what it is. Like I said, one that I test drove prior to buying this one did exactly the same. I'm used to a 1996 V8 and all it's querkiness and now that's gone, just trying to get used to the td5

My wife tells me that she thinks the brake pedal "loosens" when it happens and she can almost feel a grinding through it. The car is stationary at this point and it's an auto

I have a 2001 td5 gs auto with only 38,000 miles on the clock. Sometimes (not all the time) when I start the disco up we get a strange sort of metallic screech/ grind that only lasts for about a second. It seems to come from up front somewhere and is quite loud. As I mentioned it is...

This water loss baffled me on my 95 V8. Used to check coolant level and find that it had dropped about an inch below line and then would top up. Carried on doing this and assumed it was losing water and so had all hoses checked and engine pressure tested etc for cylinder head - all fine. It was...

Ticking Speedo . . . I have this in my '95 V8i, and i can only assume that it is the speedo. I can't seem to get to the bottom of what it is exactly, but, don't know about yours, but on mine it gets quieter as the engine warms up??? This question has appeared a few times and no-one seems...

Passenger door Central locking . . . . I had exactly the same thing on my V8, but was drivers door. I removed the inner panel on the door and found that the door button was slightly (and i mean slightly) catching on the surround on the top of the door panel as it went down. The button twists...

Makes sense as just had to replace expansion tank cap as that was faulty - suspect that has what has caused air lock

Many Thanks . . . will give that a go over the weekend

That's what I thought it was. My next question is how to bleed the air out? Are there any bleed points anywhere?

Nope - no air con fitted

This doesn't happen constantly, but sometimes when driving along, usually under acceleration, there is a "gurgling" noise that seems to come from behind the centre of the dashboard of our '95 3.9 V8. The heater is working fine, but, my only thought as to what it can be is air in the coolant...

I recently noticed (as I was checking fluids etc) that the engine coolant seemed very low. I topped up with water/ anti freeze and thought nothing more of it. I rechecked after a few days driving and norticed coolant had gone down again - not hugh amounts, but definitely gone down. Other day...

That's what I thought - good job I caught my father in law trying to attach it to the Washer Reservoir then. We'd been descaling reservoir and flushing system as nozzles had blocked and because the hose looks very similar, he decided to try and attach it up to the reservoir - can't turn your...

Whilst flushing my washer reservoir out over the weekend, I found a small diameter (about 8mm) rubber hose sitting at the side of the washer reservoir itself - the end is not inserted into anything. I traced the hose back and found that the connected end leads straight into the top of the...

Update on this: After reading the advice I went down to local Land Rover Dealership and asked advice. Technician test drove and confirmed that even though Gear stick is in "diff lock engaged" position, the Diff lock definitely isn't engaged. He suggested that Connecting rods have somehow...

I removed the interior trim from the front door and found that the door button was catching on the trim itself. It seems that when the button met resistance, it instantly popped itself back up again. I straightened out the arm mechanism and ensured that the button cleared the trim and now it...
