I've just discovered what appears to be new water ingress in the car. Td5 1999. It has appeared from the where the front seatbelts pop out of the lining in the B-pillar on both sides, and was encouraged to come out more when swerving the car in an exaggerated fashion to encourage it. It...

If only I could post a recording of it on here.... I still think it's loud to be turbo hiss, and think it might be a split pipe somewhere. I popped over to an ex-LR mechanic who lives locally, who now works for himself, and he immediately agreed that it was a noise that it shouldn't be making...

I didn't want to fill up the thread with loads of individual replies - so thanks very much indeed for all of your suggestions - this is most useful. Any other thoughts remain most welcome! :)

I hear you, but still think it's taking way too long to be able to get the 4th gear lock-out and drop in revs. The other day I left the village, and go straight onto the Thanet Way. I didn't blast her at all, and gradually built up to 55 - 60 mph carefully. Even at 65, she wouldn't drop down...

Thanks for the post - this sounds excellent, however, one question and I am probably missing it here... If it works like a trim edge that holds down the carpet (which makes perfect sense), how do you get to it, without either removing the windscreen or the entire dash top? It's always the...

I have found a couple of retailers on Ebay selling these kits at about £45. It looks like you get two strips of something, and some screws, so I am struggling to see exactly how it works! It would be really useful if I could track down when this was covered by the owners mags, particularly if it...

Nr Canterbury, Kent. Open to all sensible offers. It's going on Ebay shortly, if I can't find a buyer. We've just bought a newer TD5, so it needs to go, but she's a gem, and I won't give her away! Make me an offer if you are interested.

Where do you get the dash kit from?

I've just tried going to honestjohn.com - and it's a Cadillac site in the US! Is that right?

Apologies if this is the wrong place to pop a little ad for our old Discovery. I couldn't find anywhere else on the forum for equipment to buy / sell! I won't go into a long load of spiel about it's facts and features. It's a Japanese import, which is rot free, and with very low mileage. We've...

Dear all I have two noises and another separate quirk that I am trying to identify in my Discovery 2 TD5 (1999) with an auto box; 1 - When moving off from the stationary, there is a distinct "hiss" which is related to the throttle and throttle use. If moving off from stationary, it will last...

I have a very similar noise in mine from the sound of it. It is going in to an ex-LR mechanic for diagnosis shortly. It happens mainly under load (low revs / high torque) - it is worsened when, for example, climbing a hill slowly where the engine is under the most load, and in the rev range...

You need to re-calibrate your compass in the mirror. There should be a little reset hole, which you can hold in with a pin or pen or similar. Hold this down for 10-15 seconds. You then need to drive your car in circles, until the compass has worked where magnetic north is. It should take...
