    Drivers Door Lock Actuator Issue (Outside Handle)

    I should add that the door does open ok inside and out when unlocked. I'm just concerned that as it is, if someone tried a few times it might decide to unlock itself when locked ... without the key

    Drivers Door Lock Actuator Issue (Outside Handle)

    Recently got myself another 300tdi disco and it is exhibiting some strange behaviour with the drivers door handle (outside). When the vehicle is locked, if I pull on the door handle I can hear an electromechanical clicking/whirring noise from inside the door as if it is trying to open. It's...

    Big puddle of oil beneath front passenger wheel?!

    It probably was about a mug full. I bought some 1 shot today as a temporary bodge. MOT is due in Jan so I'll get everything sorted out then.

    Big puddle of oil beneath front passenger wheel?!

    Actually I may not be able to get it repaired properly until after Christmas. Will a sachet of 1 shot swivel grease keep me on the road until then?

    Big puddle of oil beneath front passenger wheel?!

    I was going to guess wheel bearing seal if such a thing existed, swivel seal seems pretty logical given the location of the leakage. Will I be OK to drive 45mins to my mates workshop without wreaking anything?

    Big puddle of oil beneath front passenger wheel?!

    Went for a long drive yesterday, probs about 7 hours total. Was all very pleasant and landy ran smoothly and faultlessly. Got home last night, parked up all being well. This morning I got to the car and saw a big puddle of oil on ground on the inside of the front passenger side wheel. (smells...

    Coolant/Antifreeze Replacement

    I plan to drain the coolant and replace with new in the next few weeks in preparation for the winter as it is probably long over due. Just wondering how one is supposed to dispose of the old coolant as I read it is somewhat toxic.

    Alternator?

    Logged on with an alternator Q and saw two similarly titled threads right at the top. Tis winter the season for alternator troubles? I was driving to work this evening along the motorway when all of a sudden my battery light came on and the rev counter dial read zero. Checked the belt and that...

    How good is a new Range Rover off road?

    I guess the reason you dont see more new rangerovers doing serious offroad is cause they cost so much. If you put a dent in a defender or disco 1/2 itss probably not going to worry you too much and if you want to put it right its only going to cost a few quid. Try to fix a similar prob in a new...

    Tales of rescues

    I spent most of today messing about on the moor, was quite amusing watching so many cars slide around all over the place, couldnt even get out of the carparks. Unfortunatly never got the chance to tow anyone as every stuck car we were able to get moving just by a few of us pushing it.

    What's an MFU ? I dont think mine has one. it sounds too high tech, especially as you say it beeps. AFAIK the most sophisitcated electronics in my disco appart from the radio is the pcb for the electric windows.:D

    D1 300tdi rear bumper lights

    Left hand side rear bumper light (the red one, not the indicator) stopped working in the last few days. Replaced the bulb and still doesnt work (new bulb works when connected to the right hand side connector) Is the left side fused separately? I cut off the connector on the left side thinking...

    Low range - don't laugh I know I'm a noob

    If you have to descend a steep icy hill in an older/simpler landy without HDC is the best option to go into low range and use the gears to restrict the speed rather than the brakes?

    What's the going rate for disco clutch replacement?

    Is that a special rate cause you know the guy or is that price for anyone? It would be worth the drive if I could get it done for £90

    How long to fill tank with diesel?

    Could it be caused by a blocked fuel breather pipe? Cant say i've ever experienced the problem myself. Some garages have much faster pumps than others. I immagine this could make a difference as well.

    What's the going rate for disco clutch replacement?

    Local mechanic replaced my tyres today and when he returned the car he mentioned that the clutch would need replacing soonish. His estimate was at least £150 for the labour, about £100 clutch so getting on for £300 total. What should I expect to pay for a clutch replacement is that a good...
