I think I'll just buy a tent! £30 from Millets...:D

EGR blanking kit fitted today (typing this with oily fingernails!). I was dreading the bolts, but they came off really easily with allen key. Going on a decent run tomorrow, so I may get some idea of improvements.

I'll bear that in mind. But the damper has been fitted this morning and it is now driving fine with no play / wobble whatsoever. The old damper was shot and leaking fluid, so there was definatley an issue there. If it is not the total answer in the long-term, it is one less item to be replaced...

I have had a similar problem, which I only noticed last week. The wobble comes on at about 60mph if I hit anything like a manhole cover or grid etc. Discovery (300tdi) is still under warranty and garage is fitting a new steering damper on Thursday. Mechanic had a Range Rover that did the same...

I've just bought the blanking kit today and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I've soaked the bolts in anti-seize penetrative spray so I'm hoping they come out without too much of a problem when I do the job on Thursday. Fingers' crossed.

I have to say I am delighted with the lights on my Disco 300tdi. They light up loads of the road and I am forever playing with the motorised thing that moves them up and down.....now it will go an bloody break!

So the cold running has been sorted with a new thermostat and also possibly an air-lock sorted. Oil Pressure Switch replacement appears to have cured the intermittent flashing light problem (fingers crossed). So now I can get on with the list of minor jobs which give Discos their "character"...

Thanks for all the responses. The garage were fine and it was as i thought (hoped). We think it is all minor stuff and already ordered are oil pressure switch and thermostat. The belt squeal may take a bit more investigation, but it's in hand. Definatley not water pump as it responded to some...

No, I'm not reluctant to take it back at all. I'm going there this morning. My reluctance is because they may decide they would rather bin a car that, in theory, is only worth a couple of grand rather than do potentially expensive work. I'm also a bit ****ed because I "moaned" the wife into...

Thanks for all the responses. I'm actually not in any rush to give it back. I'm just hoping all these problems are a group of minor ones ie oil pressure switch, worn belt etc etc rather than one big problem. Nobody appears to be suggesting it's one big problem, which would is a bonus. I know the...

Hi, Thanks so far. The boot is fine. It was one of the first things I checked when I originally looked at it. I suppose my thoughts are that it appears a very tidy Disco and I do not want to rush into giving it back too soon as true "good" ones are hard to find. But, I bought this to travel to...

Hi, I'm looking for some opinions if possible...... I bought a 1998 Disco (1) last week) and posted an introduction on here. All was going well until today....I bought it from a dealer after trading in a BMW. I have had Discos before and know they have quirks, but I am not sure about this one...

Hi from me and my new (to me) 1998 Discovery (Safari Edition). I have been visiting this site for a few weeks, but only joined today. I have already found it to be very useful and I hope that in the coming months and years and will be able to add and take-away. I have just bought a Discovery...
