Hi All
I was wandering if anyone could possibly help me.
Please don't think this is a plea for symphony !! But i have been diagnosed with Mental Cell Lymphoma (throat cancer) and while they carried out some scans it was discovered i also had lung cancer so had to have two thirds or my right lung removed.
Please i am not looking for symphony as i am over the worst now and i am fully aware it could all return but try not to think about it to much, The reason i have told you all this is because this is why i need help with my Discovery 3 as i am really, really not well enough to carry out any work on my car.
My brother has done a lot of work on the car for me but he is nearly 70 years old and it is getting to hard for him.
The problem i have is i really need someone in the Birmingham who could carry out some work on it for me.
I have been making enquiries my self but all the landrover people here are not very helpful the one place i contacted wanted £150. an hour to diagnose faults and then costs for repairing the fault or faults these sort of costs made me shudder what would they end up charging me and would they cure the fault ?
The fault with the car is there is a humming noise i can hear when i drive the car when it reaches about 10 miles p/h
My brother has changed the front diff for me and he changed the front short prop shaft he also changed the drivers side half shaft and drivers side wheel bearing and both front discs and pads were also changed but the noise is still there it has really baffled us we just cannot find what is causing the noise ?.
The MOT has now expired so i have had to sorn the car off road and as i have really been poorly for the last few months so can not seem to get any help ..
What i need is for someone that could recommend a trust worthy land rover mechanic who come to my address in Chelmsley Wood Birmingham and listen to the fault and at least tell me what the problem is !!
And then if they could carry out the work for me and some other silly faults that show up when my diagnostic (Evo Lynks) is connected. And then get the car MOT'ed for me .
I am sorry for this long post but needed for people to understand why i can't do this work myself and please understand i do NOT expect all this work to be done for nothing i know it will cost me but just don't want to be ripped off.
I have had the car since January and only drove it for a few weeks and we could not find where the noise is coming from luckily i still had my Discovery 2 so i put that back on the road but would love to be able to use this Disco 3 .
I know i probably don't have long left maybe 2 or 3 years if i am lucky but i now have accepted that it would just be great to have this car running again please understand i know i have to pay and that is not a problem i just want the car fixed.
The Car is a 2007 TDV6 GS A it has 119000 on the clock it is a automatic transmission it really drives well apart from the humming noise.
Please any help would be very much appreciated just want to be able to use it again.
