All vins for disco one start sall, the letters in question are the last 2 before numbers.

could be crack in cylinder head. Make sure of facts before you let someone fit main loom or ecu, often not the problem with these cars.

if it is fouling plugs put in clean again and pull plugs off temp senders on fuel rail and water sensor and try again.

Have you checked the arm is not broken in any way, can brake at pivot point and if only broken at one side can still work but not properly.

Pop up tunnel and plenty wd40, we bit of pressure to get you started. failing that remove and strip, not to hard.

at worst you will have to change ends on a couple of the wires, if your c/l ever or still works.

Not prone to cracked heads, very prone to cracked blocks am affraid.

Check all earths, cant do harm to stick on an extra one.

Snap, repaired wifes staightners in about ten mins, wires broken just where they entered body of unit.

No, not sure of any way this could happen, Does it still cut out if you take it for a run?

They all interchange, most folk put on the plain ones. Cheaper

Ace pipes run above rear diff and have a rubber flexi section to accommodate the ability of the suspension to go up and down. This will be why your lights are on . Stick on new pipes and get system bled. In my opinion discos are far far better with ace fitted. Do you have seven seats? If so you...

Caliper bolt heads are bi-hex 13mm the disc to hub are the 14mm ones, if you have a bi-hex 1/2" socket try to use it on calipers, very slightly smaller than 13mm and often better for these bolts, less chance of rounding them.

While checking all bearings spin wheels had one a wee while ago making expensive sounding noises and it turned out to be rust built up inside the disc rubbing on hub as wheel turning.

Did the lights come on straight away or was it after a wee run?

Vac pumps can make strange tapping noises varying from sounding like a bit heavier than tappet to sounding like a broken piston but would not lead to power loss.

Have you checked all the usual suspects? Anti roll bushes and links as allready said also check all major suspension nut and bolts. Strut bearings can make funny noises and could be a suspect as changes with trailor which can lighten load on them. I have a piolot 520 (like a wilson flyer 17")...

Sniff test to check for CO2 in coolant system

Good idea to give it a run after washing before leaving it standing for a week.

haven't seen pre heaters for a while but were prone to cause circulation/bleeding problems and seemed to bit unreliable, never used one but most of the ones that I knew off were not used for long and often ended up being by-passed.
