Don’t know if it’s both 3.6 and 4.4 but 3.6s are known for cracked inlet manifolds. Mechanic I know has done quite a few on 3.6s.

Have you had the dash/ instrument pack out? May be a poor connection on it, can’t say as iv never seen the back, I’d imagine Maby two or 3 plugs, at a guess, can’t say iv heard of the dashes just dying.

Just noticed your Chorley area? So not far from them really.

Depends on where in Lancashire, but Tameside transmissions in Droylsden/ Tameside- Ashton under lyne area, about 15mins from the M60 are who iv used a number of times for service or repair, only do gearboxes and do know there stuff.

Also traced my fiber optics today and found it’s the Bluetooth module so used the pen case trick to bypass the module and joins the optics as my bypass loop hasn’t arrived yet. Onto eBay now for another module.

That’s what I had to explain to NFU who didn’t even want to touch any LR product, when she said it’s high theft I said you don’t realise it’s the new sports and RR, not the L322s especially my then new to me 4.2 that still needs a real key and the car it’s self is now worth about 50p. They...

Don’t know about you but when I insured my 4.2 it was slightly cheaper than the td6.

Ordered some last night, should be here today or tomorrow, only thing that concerns me is even with a knackered module when optics are unplugged one should be lit up mine arnt, unless what I read is correct and that in the event of a module fault the system gets gets shut down. Either way I’ll...

Iv spent last couple of hours getting me head around the MOST system, got the orange flashing light on infotainment screen and LR logo, audio went off the other day and iv pulled the optic cable from Bluetooth unit and one of the other east access modules with no light inside, but reading about...

Must say sometimes my oil change is every 4 month, I go roughly every 7000 miles which can be 4 months.

Mines been travel sick since he was born, gets it from his mum. To be fair he’s spent most of the week travelling, them Scottish roads arnt exactly straight 😂, he’s ok with normal turns it’s when it’s a quick A road with lots of double S bends, that’s when it gets him but he was the same in my...

Got home in mine 1050 miles since Monday, no issues than dodgy side light bulb, great cars to do long drives in, £330 in petrol but worth it. Weather depending gonna give it a good clean especially inside after my son was travel sick, thankfully most went on him and his baby seat with only...

Sounds a good one, may not have plenty of toys but easier to work on and less to go wrong. Had mine a good while and biggest job I had to do was two door latches, seem a very common failure- quite pricey too. Oh and injector seals, but after that nothing but services. Also had the most cup...

Lovely disco 2, leather interior? Had one myself “landmark” edition/ spec, was a nice motor, mine had decent chassis but last 6 inches of outer sills had corroded so farther in law welded them. Decent engine to the td5. Not too bad to work on. Think it’s corrosion that kills them as mechanicals...

Ah right yea, they are big things, never done them, I know a tool is available to help and meant to be ok to do. Guess it’s like most things, right tool makes it easier.

Took my 4.2sc on its longest drive in my ownership, up to fort William, 315 miles, incredible cruiser and cost about £80 so not too bad on fuel.

Regarding gearbox cost. Yes I did mean £2000, not £200 🤣🙄.

Which rear bushes? In the hubs? There actually very easy with right tool.

£3500? Seems steep, place I use qouted me £200 for full rebuilt and new torque converter, although depending on when it was cost of repair has dropped from what it used to be.

Just given mine a good wash and clean inside aswell and condition seat leathers etc in preparation for its trip to Scotland tomorrow.
