Thanks folks. The 'Fuse' was an inspired piece of advise.- It HAD gone, But then after that, the compressor was dead. New one cost me £280 + labour (Ouch) Working now though Ian

Just had exactly the same on my 51. Symptoms: Gradual settling of the rear suspension- more on the offside that the N/s When running, no restoring the levels. Cause: Duff Compressor ( occasiionally the SLS lamp in the lh cluster would light - not the high-up RHD lamp) Solution- replaced...

Had the same on my 51 plate 80K miles TD5. Local Landy-fixer told me that it was a fuel pipe on top of thre filter. Cost me £90 to have the job done. Understood that this was a Discovery recall in the past and that the pipe stretched and eventually broke with the vehicle sidewas movement...

I've noticed that my Sll (2001) has adopted a flat or slightly-down-at-the rear stance lately- No SLS warnings on the dash. recently had a replacement Air spring on the offside. Nearside still ok So....Smart-person-here decides to raise the rear end via the SLS switch in the dash to see if...

Recently bought a Seies 2 ES. Regrettably, the prvious owner 'stored' his keys on the wooden trim between the gear lever and the Window/Elec Heated Seat switches, with the result that part of the wood trim is heavily scratched becuase of the movement of the keys. Are there any remedies to...

Long time with this Whine but................ Finally sorted it out (Hooray !!) A pin from the Pinion ( as in Crown wheel and pinion) had worked loose and was cirvulating with the rotation of the propshaft generally knackering the whole diff ! Lots of 'silver metal' in the oil from the back...

Just been out to my '51 TD5 ES and the remote fob wouldn't open it - both fobs. Opened manually and turned iginition key. Secondary systems fine (radio, heater, washers) primary systems dead. (Starter,Direction indicators)...... and here's the bit I've never seen before: In the lower part of...

Thanks everyone, especially the location information. Blackpool isn't far- Runcorn even nearer. I'll 'av em done. Only the missus is allowed in the bath with me ! Ian

Not long to go to retirement and I'm off to sunier climes. Had some thoughts about getting the winndows on the rear-half of the Discovery tinted to help with the effects of the Sun (a long time since I;ve seen some) and heat. Obviously it's an aftermarket addition, are there any horror...

Sorry - me again ! Its been one of those days. First the radio pooping out, then the headlining being soaked above the front windscreen. Not sure where to concentrate my efforts. is it likely to be a Seal leak, or a blocked drain channel (Do TD5's even have these?) Thanks ian

Hi, The Radio in my TD5 just didn't come on this morning. Checked the fuses and they're ok. Is there an in-line fuse behind the unit which might be the problem. I have also a Parrott Bluetooth car unit (fabulous). On incoming calls, the radio unit still displays the word 'telephone' even...

Last time I had the problem, I wiggled the seat to and fro, laterally and somethig clicked into place and I was able to raise the seat back. On other occasions, it's just a case of moving that square peg out of the way (only a mm or two) to enable the seat to come up. Hope this helps. It's...

I have an 51 TD5 with about 77k on the clock. In the last few days, I've begun to get a whine from (I think) the transmission. It comes in in 3rd/4th/5th gear between 30 and 70mph. It's only there when I have my foot on the gas. On overrun or foot-off-the-gas, it disappears. It...

Thanks for the pointers Dooroy. ..... Initially looked underneath the seat squab with it finely balanced above my head, partly unfolded. I located the bits you mention, but couldn't get any movement in anything around there until.... On the side of the seat (pointing towards the roof when...

Just bought a lovely TD5 7ES after growing up from a 300TDi. However, when I lift out the 7th seat and it locks in place in the boot floor, the backrest won't come up. The lever on the side is solid and I don't want to break the seat by forcing it. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it's...

ooooh er.. Just discovered(no pun intemded) that the Disco I've just bought will need some welding on the rear body/chassis mounts. Does anyone know of a competent and realistically-priced welding service in Cheshire please ? Thanks Ian:o
