    Disco 3 (LR3) What's with the knocking??

    I'm thinking it's a dead disco. My worry is spending too much money on a diagnosis to be told its dead.

    Disco 3 (LR3) What's with the knocking??

    SO....... I have just got off the phone to the garage owner, who is on the beach in Spain!. Injectors have been returned as working fine. They are now replacing them and are going to do a compression test, thinking of possible water ingress?. The day it died was the day of a big snow melt here...

    Disco 3 (LR3) What's with the knocking??

    Better guesses on here than from my local independent!. Its a 07 plate. Still waiting to hear back from the garage, they sent them off on Saturday to be tested, then any knackered ones will be refurbished and put back in.

    Disco 3 (LR3) What's with the knocking??

    OK chaps. I had it recovered on a truck yesterday, they rang within a couple of hours. 1 of the injectors has let go and they think that at least 2 more are practically dead. They have sent them off to be tested so should know by Tuesday how many need replacing. I'm thinking of just getting...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Noises

    Hi folks. So I have an HSE v6 and it is playing a couple of annoying noises. First one is when I let off the accelerator or when I am just touching it whilst cruising, I get like a rattling sound. It does have a snorkel if that has anything to do with it. Second one is when I go in to a right...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Diagnostics

    I kind of agree but when you are stuck in the sticky stuff it is worth knowing which wheel is spinning and which is not and ground clearance. Plus if I purchase something I require everything to be working as it should be.

    Disco 3 (LR3) Diagnostics

    So after much searching I can come to this conclusion. The SE has the software on the vehicle for the 4x4 display but LR wanted £400 on purchase to turn it on. It is part of the vehicle but you need to turn it on.

    Lost key!

    Timpzons will only cut a key if you purchase it from them. I tried yesterday with some blanks for our LR3. Wanted £50 for a key. Any shop that has a laser lath can do it.
