    Insurance renewal time again

    Hi Sturox. with only about 4 weeks between renewals have you thought about a single policy to cover all 3 cars? Multi car insurance can sometimes get a very good deal.

    An arm rest. Anyone else's elbow hurt? lol

    Have you checked your seat squab tensioner. On my disco 1 it had split and you get used to it. Bought an updated tension panel from Craddocks i think And what a difference. Lifted up about 4 inches. I also am 5,8 and towed for years without a sore arm. Check it out

    '02 Disco 2 TD5 Auto poor tickover and no power at starting.

    Hello Rob, When I got my 2002 d5 auto last October she used to hunt on tickover and seem rough until warmed up. I don't know which fuel you use but I filled up on a tank of BP Ultimate and no more hunting on tickover. I never use supermarket fuel and belong to the "add some 2stroke oil " every...

    Bad screw

    Hello Iain, Going very well these days. Had the Disco nearly a year and no problems. Been to the Hebrides for a week earlier and just back from a week in Lairg and points north. Will possibly try with a large drill bit ,but hands not as steady as they used to be.

    Bad screw

    I had already discounted a Dremel because of the recess. Have new screwdrivers but still not enough of a slot. Using an old screwdriver just to keep scraping what's left of the slot to eventually deepen it enough to get a grip. Not too happy about drilling because of the heat build up...

    Bad screw

    Disco 2 2002 Td5 Need to replace a bulb on my offside rear light. Some previous owner has lost one of the screws at some time and used an old slot headed screw. The slot is damaged and not deep enough to give a screwdriver a grip. I have been scraping the slot with a screwdriver for ages to try...

    Anyone try this stuff?

    I'm with Robhew 86. Check the tightness of the cap on the expansion tank. I had similar small loss and after tightening the cap a wee bit the level has not moved in over 5 months. For the cost, even trying a new cap before going into a heavy cost which may not be needed. Worth a try.

    Power steering pump

    Auto box oil change or not?

    I would agree to change oil. When I had my 300Tdi auto I had all oils changed at 24k(except engine every 6k) Worth the money spent. I had my Disco for 9 years and it had 3 changes in that time. Each time oil was very clean. Changed the filter the first time but after that only the oil. AS...

    TD5 Disco issues under load (towing)

    Why did landrover not fit a dipstick like the Disco1. Checking the oil level on the Td5 auto is c--p. Practically need two people and torn knuckles etc. Curiosity, has anyone looked at trying to fit a dipstick? Practically same box as Disco 1. Rant over.
