Would really appreciate some help and advice with my 01/Y Disco TD5 ES Auto. It's done 133k miles and I bought it a few months ago for what I thought was a bargain price (my wife keeps pointing out that my "bargains" never are!!!!).
I've just spent £950 on new front springs and shocks, new diesel connecting pipe that was leaking, new caliper and pads, MOT, service etc etc with an Independant L/R specialist.
However:-
1) A warning light (picture of car with two arrows pointing out) lights up when the car is started from cold but goes out after it is re-started when warmed up
2) Horrible rattle at about 2250 - 2500 revs during acceleration. Fine though outside that rev range
3) Fan - occasionally stays on after switching engine off and stays on for ages after (although switches straight off again if the ignition is restarted)
4) Steering wheel is off-centre - have had tracking checked but all fine
Despite all of the above I really like the car and it is much more practical for us than the Freelander it replaced. I would really appreciate your thoughts regarding these problems and suggestions on what to do next and how much it might cost?
