    Disco 2 Handbrake - a few questions

    How strong is the parking pawl is some knobber shunts your disco when it is in Park and all the shock goes through it? I thought the parking brake was a bit 'use it or lose it' too.

    Disco 3 (LR3) Diagnostics

    The Nanocom is THE weapon of choice for the P38 and D2 but not for the D3 I don't think. I think the Gap IID Tool is the big hitter in the D3 arena.

    Disco 2 Td5 auto 'whirring' under load.

    No, it's the TC that stalls not the engine. If the engine stalls then you have other problems :eek: Maybe worth getting a video of the issue (with sound) and getting it on Youtube with a link on here.

    Discovery 2 Coolant Flush

    Heard good reports about Derby Performance Hoses https://dphsiliconehose.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=48_52&product_id=323 But they are in the UK, not very local for you!

    Ird transfer box

    Taking the prop off will give you an idea whether the IRD is completely destroyed or not. Unfortunately it quite likely is. They are a bit picky even with oil in them....

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Maybe get a bluetooth tyre pressure monitoring system. That might save you £££ in the future.

    Is the rumble road- or engine-speed related?

    FL1 intermittent acceleration problem

    The lock code is actually stamped on the locking nut on mine - worth a check. Get them on ebay.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Do you have much metal behind the handle? Prime rot-spot - my FL came with the boot handle held on with tape wrapped around the wiper.....

    Freelander 1 What model was this?

    If I saw one I would probably buy it. Just for sh1ts and giggles. I think SWMBO would hate it, but that would only make it funnier.

    Freelander 1 What model was this?

    No, that's the official body kit. I used to really hate it but it has grown on me for some reason.
