Quick question if you don't mind. Went to see a Freelander today, (2004 TD4 HSE Auto) and although I won't be buying this one due to it having too many faults that I could tell straight away (knackered drivers window mech, knackered rear pass window mech, very rusty sunroof frame at the rear...

Ha no worries on the shameless plug, shy bairns get nowt. Really after a 5 dr as we have 3 kids. Thanks for the info though. She borrowed her friends car when the French pile packed in again. (307 HDI thats had new clutch since the DMF packed in, new gearbox, DPF has packed in etc, the...

Cheers Mike. Just to clarify, when you say it will slam into gear, is that when you move the lever from P-R-N into D? Are the soleniods a DIY friendly replacement or is it new box time? Cheers

Hi all Not been on the site for a while, Landy owner for a long time (Series 2's, V8 Defender, P38 and currently Disco 300tdi) The wifes frency pug is knackered so we need a new motor. She likes the Freelanders, budget £4000ish. Main question is manual or auto? Not fussed either...

You need to pop out the rear bumper lights IIRC and you can access the fastenings from there.

Cheers for the swift reply Paul, very much appreciated. Jonathan

Morning all, been a while. I have a question for Disco guru's. My Disco developed a vibration from the rear when under acceleration from say 25mph onwards. Thought it may have been the hardy spicer joint so removed the prop and it's spot on. It does however have a rubber doughnut at the...

Well guys, after much deliberation I decided on the GG AT2's. Phoned most local tyre emporiums but no one could get hold of any, so... In the end I got 4 BFG AT's normal size for my ES 235/70/16's, fitted for £480 which isnt bad. Havent been anywhere yet but there is a shoot on tomorrow...

Well ive been pricing tyres today. BFG AT's are coming in at £111 ish from Black circles, and the GG AT2's around the £84.60 from Camskill place. Other thoughts have been Cooper Discoverer ST's? Any further thoughts folks? Kind regards Jonathan

Cheers Big Lad, I had thought about them. Years ago I had a Jeep Cherokee 4ltr on gas. I fitted Grabber AT2's on that, due them having a slightly softer compound so mre grip for the power. I took it to a P&P and they performed well, I didnt get stuck, mind you I wasnt exactly in extra heavy...

Cheers for the link Bobbler, nice snaps. Where abouts in Durham are you? Im in Hetton. Do you know if any of those Disco's on there were standard ride height?? Kind regards Jonathan

I am after nothing serious, just enough to cope with muddy tracks and fields. The mix that is on there at the moment are two Pirelli Scorpion's and two Goodyear GT4's or something. As for more serious stuff/RTV's I have a '69 SWB 2a which is great, so I have recovery ropes etc that I carry...

Hi all, not long had my newest purchase, a lovely P plate 300tdi ES. I love it to bits, its great. I have already fitted an EGR blanking kit and a decat pipe which has improved things a little, however currently she has Pirelli Scorpion AT's on, and I fancy something a little chunkier...

Hi all, sorry for the need for a response but my Dad has travelled a long way today to look at an 02 plate P38 and has just phoned me. The vehicle moves from Hi to Low trans no probs, but when moving back into Hi ratio both the ABS and Traction Control light comes on and stays on. Will only go...

Hi Rob, its a 52 plate V8 ES auto, silver, just had new gearbox etc, 105k, said I can have it for 5800. Here it is hopefully Auto Trader UK - LAND ROVER Discovery 4.0 V8i ES I havent tried a TD5 yet, but have a P38 diesel Range Rover with tuning box, I enjoy, but it is a bit slow. Was...

Hi Rob, cheers for the reply. Well spotted regarding the pic. The one I am looking at does have 2 caps, ie ACE suspension. I will have a look on the dash for the button. I have noticed the hill decent button. My P38 has a switch for the height of the suspension, but I didnt know if a disco...

It is in the very top of the picture. This isnt the car, just an image I found on google. Jonathan

Had a look at one yesterday, a nice v8 ES, 52 plate, 105k on the clock, but have a couple of questions. Looking under the bonnet, there is a plastic tank, bit like a water header tank on the right hand side (near side) that had a load of fluid recirculating. The guy reckoned it was the...

Well I am very glad of your time and replies Sean, thanks

anyone??
