Unfortunately after 15 months of Land Rover ownership due to a major life change I've had to do the unthinkable and trade my Disco in for a 'sensible family car'. After several large repair bills and having to compete mpg wise with a car that regularly does 60+ the final straw came last month...

The last three times I've taken my '94 Discovery out I've noticed the engine is overheating but when I checked the coolant and oil levels this morning they were fine, what could be the problem? The three trips have each been 10 miles out, 10 back, mostly dual carriageway. :flame2:

The fabric roof lining on the inside of my Disco is coming away where it meets the top of the front windscreen. Over the last few months as water has been leaking in (despite lots of sealant being used) the fabric has been coming coming away and the section that joins onto the top of the...

How easy is it to move the washer spray from the bonnet onto the wipers? What do I need to buy and what do I need to do?

Yesterday when I drove to work my steering felt absolutely fine, however 10 hours later I needed to use all of my strength just to turn the wheel only slightly making roundabouts nearly impossible to take! This morning I wasn't sure how it was going to be but, as yesterday, the steering was...

Over the last 12 months my '94 Discovery has had quite alot of work done to get it back to roadworthy standard (see previous posts!). Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I'm getting a little nervous that the only remaining major part that is left to go wrong is the gearbox. My question to the Forum is...

How would I go about adding a few quid to the cost of my Discovery? I've got a '94 Disco I that I bought for £1500 but have spent just over £2000 on to keep it running and getting it through MoT but have decided now it is in much better nick than when I bought it to sell it. I'm thinking about...

I've just got the MoT report back for my '94 Disco and it is very bad, borderline terminal! I bought her in July last year and she has been a money pit. Firstly the Diesal pump needed replacing along with timing belt, new spare tyre and aircon drive belt, £250. Then in March this year a...

The aerial on my Discovery broke at the very base, I didn't think this was too much of a problem as I have got several spare wire coat hangers I thought I could use as a temp/permi replacement. However I have tried twice with two different aer...hangers and each time the signal doesn't improve...

This may sound like a bone question but I'm after an MoT failure Series II, where would be the best place to look for one? I live in West Hampshire between Andover and Salisbury but can't think that many people will sell MoT failures in the local press so where do they end up, I can't believe...

What engine is best to put into Series III? I want a combination of good reliability, good fuel economy, good level of torque and it must be relatively easy to get serviced (ie not a rarity).

Last week whilst speaking with an ADI qualified driving instructor he mentioned that it is illegal for a driver to be wearing a Hi-viz jacket, a front seat passenger to be wearing a hi-viz top or one to be visible draped over the top of an empty front seat. I have tried looking on the internet...

How easy is it to clean/change a fuel filter on a 300Tdi engine? Does anybody have an eejits guide handy? Not that I'm an eejit of course, err, it's for a mate, honest guv..... :o

Today whilst driving to and from work at several random times my engine would seemingly missfire for between 30 seconds and a minute. This caused my speed to drop sharply from between 50 mand 60 to 30 which it would stay at as my Disco skipped along. What on earth could be wrong? I have recently...

Last week I had the following work done on my '94 300Tdi Disco, Engine oil Oil filter Antifreeze Head skim Head gasket Head bolt x4 Injector seal x4 Valve cover gasket Intake gasket Water pump Pump gasket About a month ago the heater in my Disco stopped blowing any hot air even...

My '94 300Tdi has really been playing up of late. In the cold she has taken a few turns of the key to get going but as it has been very cold I wasn't too worried. Today after usual start I filled her up and when I came back to park it she didn't have enough power to drive up the very gentle...

I want to check that the reason my heater doesn't heat is the possibility of an air lock in the system. I know that in order to fix this I need to disconnect the matrix hose but despite looking in both Discovery service manuel and Haynes book I'm no wiser as to wear this hose is! Can anybody...

I have spent about an hour today trying to get my hand in behind one of the side facing rear seats in my '94 Discovery to change a tail light bulb, I eventually conceded defeat. I have decided to remove both of the boot seats but as no manual was forthcoming when I bought the Disco a few months...

I own a '94 300 Tdi and from what I've read on the net in the last week or so I am lead to believe my Discovery should not only have tail lights in the bumper but also in the rear light cluster. I got into the cluster (a major undertaking because of fold up seats in the boot) and although there...

I own a '94 Discovery 300tdi and a couple of days ago when driving in the rain I noticed a damp patch above the top right corner of the front windscreen. The damp patch is only about 4 inches wide by 2 inches and am hoping this can be easily and cheaply fixed, can it or should I take it to a...
