I have just emailed the job for a quote to my local independent, let’s see what comes back, where about is your mate located at biketeacherdave. Thanks

Yes hopefully I will get a quote by next week Thanks Chris

Thank you for that information, I will copy this down and put it to the garage and see what they price it all up at. Thanks again. Chris

My 15 plate Discovery is due a cam belt change, it’s not done the mileage , 44000 on the clock , but is 8 years old , is there more than one belt that needs doing at this stage, is it a body off job, and what would you pay for an independent Land Rover garage to do the job. Thanks.

I put an optimate charger on mine if it’s not been used a lot or short runs , the battery can have more taken out than goes back in, obviously if the battery is old it may be time for a new one.

Ok thanks, I would just top up the battery some days when not in use.

Can I bolt my optimate charge lead direct to my Discovery 4 battery, there seems to be a lot going on there with other stuff connected, I only want to trickle charge the battery now and again not put electric to anything else. Thanks.

I used to own an Isuzu DMax, that had a gauge on it you could access and it would tell you how full the DPF was getting and when it was re generation, that would re gen around 150 miles and because you could see it was doing it you would make lots of re gen runs just to keep it clear, many times...

The real problem here is we don’t go out and have a hissy fit like the un washed youngsters glueing themselves to the road, personally I would not want to go to Khans world anyway but I can see it’s a real bitch if you live in his expanding area.

Landrover get a bad name for reliability issues but the truth is most manufacturers have there problems these days, and the worst is yet to come with the Electric cars that’s being forced upon us.

Letting the engine warm a little when first started and let it settle before switching off sounds good advice, I have brought the one I was looking at, just over 40000 miles full service history, don’t frighten me anymore, thanks for all the advice.

Thanks for all the advice, just taking a moment to decide now, could be a calculated risk, you do see a lot of them about, I wonder what the percentage engine terminal rate is.

It’s a 15 plate, I would not go into Khans territory if you paid me, for some reason I thought the Discovery Engine was not subject to the crank issues. Just looked it was registered 1st March 2015, so hopefully it won’t have add blue .

3lt SD V6 I believe

I am about to buy a Discovery 4 2015 plate old shape, on my Defender 2.2 ford engine I know sometimes when it’s re generation has started by the change in the engine noise so I stick it in 4 th gear and keep at about 50mph which does the job, due to having to make short journeys sometimes is...

About 3 weeks ago my Defender 2.2 diesel , the Ford Engine one went into the garage to have the glow plugs changed, the mechanic snapped one off in the head , they are still waiting for a specialist to come and get it out, any one else had this problem, did they get the plug out without removing...

JLR and safety issues are a joke, my Range Rover Sport like many other Range Rover owners have had to put up the Air Bag warning light on and they do nothing about it.

Yes Alternator and battery packed up, both replaced now and all good again, obviously I am not praying enough to the Land Rover Gods before pressing that start button.

Not sure how old the battery is I have only owned this one about 3 months, I did get to speak to the Indy garage yesterday where it was taken to, they said looks like the Alternator has packed up and the battery is completely drained, here comes another big bill.

If it was the Diesel Engine I would of been very worried, it did start on a boost , what concerns me though is it’s been starting fine, no signs of the battery low.
