thanks for that info:)

Thanks I have bought a new cap today.

No its not using any water.

Well the cap is only a year old but it could fail so I have just bought one on eBay

Hi Since the coolant is pressurised even after leaving the car for over 12 hours why would I suspect the expansion tank cap? Are you thinking it might not be opening to let pressure out? Sniff test? Yes the garage did it last time, not so long ago, and I had a bill so I could save myself some...

Yes I have studied the recommended method. I have also been parking the car on a slope - bonnet higher and each time I use it I try to bleed some more air out. There is always a little coming out. Since the coolant is still under pressure after leaving the car for 12 hours it does seem as if...

Thanks neily. The car had a head gasket replaced under warranty in May last year. But I have had trouble since. Leaking hose,possible duff thermostat, split hose and pinhole in another hose four hoses replaced, failure of water pump and then radiator blocked. So the cause of the overheating...

Hi I am getting a sloshing sound coming fro the heater. The heater still works. I have tried bleeding it but can't get rid of it. Recent replacement: water pump, radiator and four hoses (to cure overheating) The car runs well is not overheating now. But, after leaving it for over 12 hours the...

Thanks ruffday :)

I think it broke.

Tiss the silly season.

Hi thanks. Do I need to strip the lock? And where do I start?

Hi My earlier post today seems to have vanished. I have been using my key to lock my 300tdi auto diesel. It has recently become very stiff and today I cannot lock it at all. WD40 hasn't worked. Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks Geoff

Hi I have read that the reason why we don't have 5 mph increments in our UK speed limits is that our speedometers are not marked in 5 mph increments. However, the USA has 5 mph increments in their speed limits. Does this mean that imported Land Rovers (and other cars) have to have their...

Thanks redhand:)

Hi redhand, Is this different advice to v8 disco's? Glad to hear that using the diff as a jacking point is not advised. My vehicle's bottle jack has no handle so I don't know how useful that might be. Argos do sell a 2.25 ton high lift trolley jack that has been well reviewed and they sell...

Thanks Mr Noisy, I did try jacking under the diff and was alarmed because all that seemed to be happening was the drivers side of the car (RHS) was lifting and the LHS was still on the ground. I am also doing this work on my countryside parking land which is uneven and not entirily level. I...

Thanks V8 disco:)

Hi My first post but not my first visit :) I have a Disco 1 and want to replace the rear pads. It seems really awkward to have to put the bottle jack under the rear differential casing and I was surprised that the car can't be jacked up from the sides. I have a Jackall four foot jack that I...
