Hi Dave and Eightinavee Very much appreciate your input - thanks! The battery is probably knocking on a bit. We've had her for a couple of years, and the battery is the same as was in there when we got her. Is this a possible cause? She's never failed to start, or turn over or appeared in...

Hi broadoakboy - you sound like a kindred spirit! I would guess that frame isn't warped (only a guess) as when I look at it from all angles, it all looks straight. The only difference with mine being that when I press the up button on the window controller, It won't move at all and seems...

Thanks a lot Dave - I will make sure these suggestions get checked! Richard

Hi all I know that I've been a little selfish of late, and have a couple of issues that I'm trying to get to the bottom of! I've got a rattle that I've posted before, but a local mechanic thinks he's sourced the problem, the problem identified is apparently loose handbrake shoes and housing...

Hi all Yesterday, I had a strange and new experience with the Disco. I parked up and stopped the engine, left the family in the car, as I was only very briefly stopping in a shop. Was away from the car for 4-6 minutes max. The car had had a "proper" drive previously (of some 30+ miles), and...

Hi there I've sourced a window leak in the rear offside passenger door window. Despite opening and closing it with the window controller, and despite it appearing to fully close, whenever we travel at motorway speed (60-80mph) - there is a very audible wind whistling. It is actually coming...

This has now been solved! Someone suggested that I take her into the low-range, and then hit the off-road button. Sure enough, she rose up as she should. I drove around for about 5 mins in low-range/off road mode, and then took her back in hi-range. I drove off and hit more than 20 mph - the...

Thanks for these two suggestions - the door's being closed has already been eliminated as a possible problem. This was done both by physical check (and all five doors were properly closed), as well as the computer linked up to the ECU confirming that as far as the ECU was concerned, all the...

Dear all, I've been searching the forums to see if this has come up before, and can't find anything, so apologies if I've missed this somewhere else. I recently had the suspension compressor die on my D2. It was diagnosed and replaced. The car had been sitting low and wouldn't rise to full...

Is the only solution for one of us brave souls to take our beast into a main dealer and have fixed at high cost? I've been two ex-dealer independents, and they haven't got a clue!

I posted just above - that it was all sorted now. Just required a new filter kit and fluid change. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I know, I know - it was 11.30pm at night on a Sunday, with no choice of petol stations! If I'm going for a big fill - I'll only use certain stations for their prices (and collector points!) - there was no choice.... Anyway's - does that sound like about right economy considering the almost all...

For those that read this thread - all three problems have been identified and resolved (well sort of!) 1 - Hiss was caused by a leak / crack in the flexi-joint on the old exhaust downpipe. Hiss has gone completely with the new pipe that has just been fitted. :) 2 - Rattle has been...

Bugger - this is good and bad news. Good that I know what the cause is now, and BAD that I've got a good dollop of labour coming my way really soon....:(

Okey dokey - thanks for your help.:)

I'm going to give this a go when I get some good sealant - however, wanted to ask about the gaffer tape in your suggestion... If I am sealing the joint of sunroof frame to roof of car, what does the gaffer tape on the glass / frame gap do? I can't see what that does apart from stop you from...

Thanks for your advice - and a great repair guide! I shall try the selant round the edge first to see if this cures it. I shall do both windows, to make sure we can eliminate them as best as possible.... Is there a particular selant you would recommend that works?

Thanks to all for the suggestions for the No. 2 rattle. I think that I might have sourced the cause. I was tapping away underneath the car, looking for something that sounded loose, and virtually the last thing I tried was the exhaust. I initially tapped it round the 1st box area, then towards...

Thanks alot for the suggestion, but I think it's more than this. I live fairly close to a fast piece of dual carriageway that is the main London link. The car is virtually at normal operating temperature, when I get onto this carriageway, but if the car is not ready, she will not go anywhere...

Thanks - Have you ever had it investigated? Have you ever had your sunroof sealed? Have you got half-length roofbars fitted? (I think that this is the only logical place that it can be coming in.... I just can't see anywhere else.....
