Morning, May I please ask for some advice. The passenger side from window dropped to the bottom of the door and at the moment stuck fast down though it tries to go up. But not enough to get to the window lift channel which is perfect. Not sure if it's the motor or the regulator because it...

Evening, Hope someone can offer advice please. Okay it's the 2005 D3 my sister gave me because of the never ending problems she had with it, well it's thrown up the HDC warning. Had its MOT last week and had to have new rear brake pipes because of severe corrosion even though it passed its...

Just to be safe may I please ask is it okay to charge the battery in car with a Lidl smart charger or does the battery have to be disconnected or even removed ? If so I presume positive lead on battery and negative onto an earth pole somewhere or both on battery ? Again sorry but that works on...

Hello, sorry it's long but....... Two or three weeks ago I asked for a bit of advice about what to check before I brought this 2006 D3 home from France that's been given to me by my sister in law. I flew over last Friday to pick it up and apart from half litre of oil the car nothing else...

Sorry if this is a stupid question but my knowledge, what ever that is, ends at D2's. I'm going over to France in a couple of weeks to pick up the D3 given to me by my sister in law. I've never driven one nor sat it one so no idea at all if they need anything other look see's ? So apart from...

Hope someone maybe able to answer my question. Just gone out to the car and it wouldn't unlock. Now I have an external connecter coming out of the grill for a smart charger. Just put the Fluke in the pins and it's at 5 volts. No idea why it was a new one last year, but... The charger won't...

Evening, Hope someone can offer some help, it seems bizarre to me but.... A week or so ago the alarm sounded for no reason I can see but when I went to turn it off the radio was playing. Because the car hadn't been used for a couple of weeks I thought the battery could be down so I put a smart...

May I please ask if anyone has an idea what could have happened. The car is a Series 2 V8 Thor engine. Yesterday I had to pull off a fast A road and accelerating back into fast traffic there were a few seconds of really rough running and vibration right through the car. It picked up and ran...

Three cross roof bars that go between the side roof rails, these came off a 300tdi. No bag, all in good condition though a few age related marks, spring loaded clips are fine. Pity that they're not used and sitting here and I've no use for them anymore. Collection before 7June though. Collection...

Morning, Sorry I know it's been covered many times before but because of my health at the moment I'm finding it difficult to diagnose what's happening and even jacking the car up was hard. The front off side wheel has play holding the wheel at 9 and 3, none at 6 and 12. Some shaking through the...

This is for a 4 litre efi engine in a 2000 series 2 Discovery. I hope it's not a stupid question but what is the correct way to top up or refill the rad without having air locks in the system ? I'm used to the 300Tdi where I always filled via the 'stat housing. On this I've noticed a bleed valve...

Hi, I hope some an possibly help in identifying a pipe.... I'm just about to move over to/up to a 2000 V8 from a 300TDI. Please bear with me on this because the car is not here and I can't post an image so this could be a little vague. This is a small bore black pipe that appears to come from...

Morning, Time for my 300TDI to go, and I'm very interested in a 2000 V8. The advertiser states that on the last MOT there was an advisory for corrosion of rear suspension legs. The online government MOT checker says "Heavily Corroded Rear Cassis Legs. Now because it's only an advisory at the...

Hi, Yesterday out shopping all fine. I went back to the parked car the brake lights were on and also the ABS light on the dash was still on when driven. The switch was really goosed, just over 6 months old, the plunger stuck in so ordered a new one from Paddocks which arrived this morning...

Hello. On a 98 300TDI auto. I had the ABS light come on a little while ago. Cleared all the faults and it behaved perfectly for a couple of weeks. Then the light can on again. Blink test showed 2:6 so just fitted a new switch. Now it's showing the 2:8 system relay and it will not clear. So may...
