Three days ago the car just died. Having just left town I accelerated from 30 - "Unsure"; its something I have previously done post passive DPF re-gen just to see if any light smoke is issued. If there was, after that all is normal and all ok. I say not sure of the attained speed because I was...

Thought I'd fixed it. The water in fuel code P226400. Restricted performance been on and off for for years; it has been checked at Indi LR garage (where it is serviced) nothing found and code cleared. I recently replaced the fuel filter and discovered "bare wire" where the WIF sensor cable...

Hi Guy's. Recently bought a Foxwell 680Pro to get to know / understand the car better. I managed to track down a "Water in fuel" with restricted performance warning. Turned out to be a damaged sensor cable (filter to connector) now replaced and DTC cleared, quite pleased. Scrolling through data...

Hi Guy's. Apologies for being a pain. Can you help, I am trying to understand how you get fresh brake fluid into the ABS Module after replacing the fluid throughout the brake system. Without having to buy an electronic gadget. I have seen / read that after replacing the fluid and ensuring there...

Good Morning all, quick question. Planning to flush and replace the brake fluid, have everything that's needed but was wondering..... Is it necessary (or even advantageous) to remove the spare wheel from a D4 to pinpoint the rear centre line lifting point ?, I've never seen the lift point so...

Good afternoon, a little advice please Gents. As far as I know the starter battery is the original factory fitted, I've been humming & harring, wether to replace it, sometimes a couple of cranks to start. As usual I've read all sorts of stuff, might upset onboard electrics (re-callibrate...

Good Morning Everyone. 2013 Discovery 4 sdv6 3.0L Diesel. Can anybody tell me how to put the engine in neutral without the engine running to enable manual turning of the crankshaft. It is to align camshaft pulleys for timing pins, also the two revolutions to confirm final timing alignment...

Hi All After a long wait I'm getting ready to change the belts. One question, I have seen video of full job with starter motor removed and the same job completed without touching the starter. Both start up well and run smoothly, if everything is TDC and the timing pins are in, plus the crank...

Hello All Been reading one or two forums, specifically referring to the Oil Pump Housing. I've read a few times about the problems with older models and the upgraded unit that has been beefed up somewhat. No idea of the exact changes; just "Beefier". My query is around the timing belt tensioner...

Hello All. Not so much a technical query, more a lack of "official" warranted work carried out, hope somebody can clarify for me. My Disco 4 is due belt changes ( 9yrs old & 73k recorded milage) 18 months ago I bought everything needed to complete the task, new belts, idlers, tensioners, timing...

Good Afternoon Gents. I would like to lower the level of coolant while working on the auxiliary & timing belts. When the upper coolant inlet hose is removed, would I be able to insert a small bore hose far enough to lower the level to below the cross front pipe & prevent spillage. Would be using...

Concerned !!. I am all ready to go for the (front) auxiliary & timing belt change, have all the replacement parts plus "special" tools; fan & timing kit. Had a spanner thrown in the works this afternoon, " a bolt" that can knacker the oil pump. Having a good look around I came across a great...

Hi, I'm planning on replacing the belts on my D4 3.0L sdv6, it is 7yrs old but has done nothing like the 112,000 miles; 68,623 at last MOT Feb 21. It is well maintained / serviced, always runs on Shell V Power. I have researched a fair bit on the job, articles & video. I was thinking of...

Hi All Been watching a D4 3.0 sdv6 cam belt replacement during which they occasionally refer to "The Manual" on a laptop. The manual looks very good, great diagrams and comprehensive text. Is it possible as a simple owner to obtain such a digital document ? Any help or advice greatly...

Good morning all. The rear discs on my 2013 Discovery 4 TDV6 3ltr are no longer looking they're best, plan is to replace the discs and fit new pad's (plus check & clean the parking brake). Have done a fair bit of towing a big twin axle caravan with it without the slightest braking problem. I...

Hi, does anybody know if there is anyway of increasing the folding resistance on a D 4 (2013) wing mirror. With towing mirrors attached, to often the offside one "folds back", I have to put a bungy chord from mirror to the air intake grill to avoid constantly lowering the window to push it back...

We took the caravan away for Christmas & on arrival noticed "scorching" on the 12s car socket & the plug from the caravan. Looking at diagrams I believe pin No. 6 is the supply to the caravan fridge via a relay (read somewhere there might be 2 relays 1 in the car & 1 in the caravan) and pin No...

Hi Everyone. Can anybody tell me where the various breather pipes, axles, etc etc terminate on a straight from the factory 2013 D4 3ltr tdv6. Heading up in the Dales over Christmas and the main road A1 to Hawes is prone to flooding with heavy rain. As the wading depth is given as 700mm can I...

Hi All, I recently lost a bag and with it went one of the car key fobs. A new key is on order but I have been told that if the new key will not "talk' to the ECU it is because it is an older version and will not accept any new key, a new one is required £200+. I have seen on other posts here...

Hi All, I lost a bag last week with the key fob & louse key attached. Does anyone know if there is a fuse (or some other wizardry) that when removed will prevent starting and driven away, despite having been opened as normal. Have been told new key could be 4 - 6 weeks, have already changed...
