    2002 Disco II - Aircon working but not

    With all air con problems I would always start be draining the system and then refilling it. By doing this you can be sure it full and that there are no leaks. As Discool said you may think the sensors are working fine and if you press on the valve you may get pressure out but thats no...

    I got a ford galaxy professionally done some years ago there is a large curve both top to bottom and side to side. Bloke done a cracking job and I didn't have any problems with the rear window demister. Some jobs just arn't DIY, probably waste more tint than it would cost to get it done......

    disco roof

    Aye tis indeed, just make sure you dont drill into the roof strengtheners. You would be in trouble then. Pull the head lining down a bit along the back and see were they are on the roof skin.

    Handbrake handle

    There is something fouling the button, check the grip on the handle is fitted correctly. Would you have forced a piece of trim against the button and possibly knocked it "off centre"? As for MOT, yes it would be a definate fail. The handbrake needs to lock securely into position for MOT.........

    Aircon gone wrong!

    All air con systems have 2 safety sensors on them, one is a high pressure sensor and the other is a low pressure sensor. If one of these sensors is faulty the compressor will not kick in. It a safety feature to stop the compressor being damaged. There is also a clutch on the front of the...

    Auto Box Fears

    OK here's another silly question, is the a dip stick for the auto box? Can the level be checked easily or is it a case of undoing a level bung on the gearbox and checking it that way? I think I will drain the box and refill it with new oil, is it just a matter of taking the drain plug out like...

    Dave thanks for your reply, you have put my mind at rest. I was really starting to panic that there was something major wrong in the gearbeg. What you say is exactly what is happening. Below about 50mph lots of revs and over 50mph more responsive to pedal movement............ Thanks..........

    ok, just been out there an had a look at my Disco. There is no glue on the door seals, there is a channel down the rubber seal that fits over the edge of the body panel joins. This channel has metal "u" shaped linning, they can be taken off quite easily as long as your careful. Pull directly...

    new one, white smoke ?

    If you take the oil filler cap off the rocker cover and look on the underside of it. If there is a lot of creamy white gunge on it or if you can see down into the rocker cover and see any creamy white gunge it a good indication that your head gasket has gone. You can also tell if the coolant...

    Discovery Pitfalls

It's a really comfortable vehicle to drive. I do however have a few concerns, this is the first ever automatic car I...

    Same thing happened to my friends Range Rover. It took him 5 / 6 months to get it sorted out. Eventually after several trips to the dealership they decided to change the frequency of his immobiliser. Problem solved ........
