Hi All.

I have a Disco 3 and think I may need a full diagnostic on it,no major problems,but annoying.

ie Parking sensors have a mind of there own.
Fuel cover sometimes wont open.
Mirrors move position when left overnight or a few hours!

I got in contact with Hunters at Derby and the lady on the end of the phone said a full diagnostic would be £99 inc vat,not too bad I thought.

Later when my Mrs tried to book it in the gentleman on the phone said, yes it's £99,but for each check. wtf!! Total £297!!!!
Doesn't a full diagnostic means check everything,surely a simple hook up to a laptop would show any problems???

Anyway can anyone offer any advice on the matter or a garage that knows what they're doing without ripping the linings out your pockets.

THANKS in advance for any help.

Fuel cover on mine is 100% manual, there are only 3 bits of plastic to it and they cost less than £10 from Land Rover, so, I'd save yourself any money there and buy the new parts and replace - I did mine in Hunters car park after buying the bits! (no tools required to re-fit, you might need a flat blade screw driver to help the old bits out)

For the other parts, I'd give Harvey Taylors a ring and have a chat to Ian...

I've used them a few times a number of years ago, seem like they know there stuff, but, i was dealing with D2's and series at the time, i've never taken my D3 there. Worth a call and a chat - see if they are LR approved or just a LR specialist.

Otherwise, have a chat with 200tdiayre on here - he's based in Derbyshire, they have an impressive workshop and have a D3 they maintain, they won't be LR approved, they're mainly agricultural, but, they may have some diagnostics you can use to look at the faults

Cheers mate,thanks for the help,much appreciated.

These might be a bit far away but have heard good reports about them so might be worth a phone call, they do series to disco 4 so should be able to help

I dont think you will find anyone other than a main deaer who is Landrover approved.
And most approved will be charging over £100 per hour.

DLS were ok for mine. Dunno if there approved though.

Thanks Guys,

Lets forget the approved bit eh:bump2:

Just want some skilled person to sort a few minor problems.

Thanks again,

Cavendish Land Rover at Storforth Lane Ind Estate, Chesterfield are very very good. I've been using them for my Defender for a few years. A family member with a FL2 also uses them.

They have 2 premises there, one is a parts shop and the other is the workshop. The shop generally stocks Britpart, but whenever the workshop is about to replace any parts on my 110 I always discuss which brand to go with as they can order other brands in. They have even done bodywork repair for me.
