Fair enough, you are quite right. Get it fixed properly. Good call.

So, my discovery 3 2007 HSE with rear AC went warm. I took it to a chap who is a lifetime AC guy now semi retired to have a re-gas. He vacuumed the system, did a test, checked everything, including the rear setup, added dye and concluded there was a potential tiny leak in the evaporator. He...

Hello everyone, today, my disco 3 tailgate wouldn’t open from the catch above the number plate. However, it does from the key. Please could someone explain the parts I will need to fix this and does anyone have instructions? Many thanks as ever.

Many thanks, it’s all of the gears. Everything feels very very sloppy. I assume that at this mileage the wear on the linkages has taken its toll. I have read your buyers guide this evening. I will check the belts and oil pump cover. Should this not have been done, I assume £1000 for the belts...

Good evening. I am looking for a low (ish) price discovery for occasional use. An independent Range Rover dealer friend has a 2007, 2 owner car with full history for sale. He has used it for a year as a courtesy car. It’s a manual with 175k on the clock. I can have it at trade price. The only...

Hello, would it be possible to send me a little more info and some pictures? Not sure the best way to do it but perhaps you could advise? Many thanks, Charles

Is there any chance that this is still available? Many thanks, Charles.

Good evening all. I am after a solid Discovery 3. I am keen on a car with very solid history and completely factory original. Mileage isn’t a big problem if the car has been properly maintained. Wish list would be (although not in anyway essential) Green or Blue Auto No ‘trick’ mods (actually...

Thanks Chaps, I have had a look at the MOT history and, as you say, it’s a bit of a car crash. I have had a couple of P38 V8. One had a liner slip but was so cheap it didn’t matter, the other was fantastic. Will do a search for a disco V8. Does anyone know of a car out there that might be on...

Thanks very much for such sage advice. I had a RR TDV8 for years and loved it but did spend a fortune on preventative maintenance. Have moved to a Mercedes for every day but need something for the winter and trips to the dump! Would this eBay car be better? 202641115284 I am not on a tight...

Good morning. I am looking for a Disco 3 for occasional use and have come up with one locally. It’s a 2005 manual with about 160k. It’s had a recent full service and a new turbo but being sold as spares or repair due to a handbrake fault. I have done loads of reading about the electronic...

Good Morning. Is there anyone in the DERBY area willing to look at a defender for me? It needs some chassis work but I am keen to know how much. I live in Oxfordshire so chance of getting there. I have spoken to the owner and he is a nice guy. I am very willing to pay for any expenses. The car...

That sounds about right. I think that with a modest investment, it could be absolutely mint. He is driving it home (600 miles) next week so that should be interesting!

OK maybe I asked for that! Come on, it must have some value? My worry is that he won’t sell if the price is too low and it will sit and rot in a shed!

Good Morning. I have been offered a rare manual P38 4.0 petrol 1996. The car has only one owner from new and was specked up to vogue level by this owner as he wanted a manual, but could not buy the vogue model with this gearbox. The car is in Epsom green with tan leather and AC. The car has...

Thanks so much everyone for your helpful and very generous advice. I have been away with work so I don’t have an update and sorry for the time it has taken to reply. When I hear from him I will post a result. With regards.

Good evening. I am posting on behalf of a very old friend. P38 petrol, 4.0, 1996 rare manual. So. This guy has a place in France where his P38 lives. He has an L322 3.6 in the UK. He has owned the P38 from new and it has a factory optional manual gearbox. With 240k on the clock. His place is in...

Thanks everyone for your, as ever, expert advice. I connected my battery pack to the car battery this morning to boost the output. This had a significant effect on the starting after only one cycle to the heaters. So looks like thats solved and a new battery tomorrow. Many thanks once again...

Thanks for that advice. It could be the case as my alternator was replaced last month due to low power output. This had resulted in a flat battery on 3 occasions so it could have knackered the battery. Many thanks.

Hi everyone. Quick question if someone has a moment. My L322 3.6 is amazingly reliable and in the last year it has been a fantastic car. However, in the very cold weather recently it has struggled to start in the mornings. I have had to warm the plugs for about 4 cycles of the key and then the...
