After I took the D4 for an oil change (as per rebuild warranty requirements) I noticed it was showing as over filled. I had to take it to them for a start-motor refurb so I asked them to check the oil; they said it wasn't very much over and not to worry about it. Now it's got a significant oil...

Current insurance is with RAC: £250 but runs out next month. Renewal quote: £4,900 - that's four thousand nine hundred. No claims at all. Hardly driven in fact, These people are on drugs!

I recently had the engine rebuilt, usual issue. Got them to MOT it while it was there. Got it back, did the 800 miles before oil change, got the change done and big clangy noise developed. Went back under warranty, garage said it's done 3600 miles before the oil change so can't be repaired under...

Had been running fine although the starter had seemed weak, went to start a week or so ago and got "tick tick tick" from the starter, but engine didn't turn over. Battery was low after not running for some months, so tried first with a jump pack and then with a jump from another car, same...

I'm due to swap out my XYZ switch with a refurb one (refurbed by me), just haven't done it yet as I don't have the wrist articulation required! However today - ironically while demming the car to the daughter of the guy I'm trying to get to help me change the switch - the S and M lights started...

Hi all. I'm generally nicing up my car (having spent s****loads on a rebuild) and the high level brake light is cracked so I'm thinking of replacing it. I know this is a real pain as the bond used to stick it on is a nightmare to shift. But while looking for a replacement I've seen some...

So after my D4 pallava I thought, at least my D2 is ok. Then after starting it today the front sunroof tilted fully open and now won't budge. I'm guessing its the controller. Does that sound about right? It has a slight leak I think, just enough to drip down the nearside B pillar. The previous...

Currently sat in Burnham On Crouch station waiting for my train(s) back to Taunton. I was expecting to be collecting my Disco 4 after the engine was rebuilt, but on arriving there is some damage that wasn’t there before. 1. One of the spotlight pillars on the bumper has broken and someone has...

Hi all, I've got an interesting intermittent tails lights issue. Sometimes neither side works but when I indicate the light on that side alternates with the indicator. Sometimes only 1 side works then indicating makes it the other side start working Sometimes it's a combination of the above, and...

Hi all. My reverse lights don't work and my parking sensors don't come on automatically when I shift into reverse (it's an automatic). Is there a reversing switch on the auto? Seems sensible to check that first. Thanks

My disco is a 2010 TDV6 HSE (245 engine). On my way back from Brum airport to Somerset last week, was cruising around 60-70 when suddenly had a fairly loud rotation noise which we initially thought was a flat. On pulling onto the hard shoulder the noise continued even though we were stationary...

Hi all, I'm after a cheeky favour! I'm trying to fit a soft roof onto my commercial. The problem is the brackets for the struts don't come as standard on those. I've managed to get some brackets and I can see which screw holes I need to use, but it seems like there must be something else like a...

So the LED has now stopped working on my latest beacons switch. Fitted this one about 8 months ago but the beacons have only been used once, so this may have happened some time ago. The rest of the switch works fine, just the tell-tale LED that keeps blowing. The voltage into the LED is battery...

Hi all. I need to have a go at fixing the wiring to the driver's door plunger switch (the one for the alarm and internal lights). The connectors have broken off the wires and the wires have disappeared back into the hole, so I'll need to pull them out from the other end, extend them and then...

Hi all, I need to get to the bulkhead to take care of some rust, but I seem to remember when I was running some wiring before that it's not that easy to get past the dashboard. I remember undoing every bolt/screw I could see and the whole thing just stays solid. I then gave up and just fed the...

Just got this. I'm thinking it could be the cause of the other issues I've been having. I'm currently exploring alternatives.

I recently replaced my Defender's turbo. Since then it's had an issue. When it gets hot the speedo goes mad when I accelerate, jumping about or dropping to zero. When it does this the boost also drops off, then back on, then off, etc. On advice I replaced the vehicle speed sensor, but either...

I managed to clip a kerb while driving in Snowdonia at the weekend (Ok, I was looking at the scenery!) and the fuel gauge instantly stopped working. It just reads empty and I get the "Low fuel" warning. It has failed in the past but then come back to life. This time it seems to be more...

Hi all, I had a turbo underboost issue on my 2.4 and the turbo vanes had seized. I replaced the turbo which didn't cure the underboost (but needed doing anyway) but I started noticing a stuttering of the power when accelerating. Weirdly when the stuttering happens, the speedo also went haywire...
