    Ride Height

    Hey y'all Looking at the rover it's possibly sitting a bit low for normal ride height setting. Can anyone tell me the correct ride height for front and rear? Wondering if the airbags are getting saggy! Cheers

    Grinding noise

    Went out for a 20 minute drive today to see if i could replicate the problem, only managed once, which was a 10mph right hand turn, fairly sharp. And I was wrong about sound coming from the back, definately from the front. Sounds like a metal on metal sound, may well be something to do with the...

    Grinding noise

    Nope almost brand new :/ the only thing at the back end that may be of relevance to anyone trying to work this out, is that at the last MOT there was an advisory for the offside rear suspension arm ball joint/bush to be replaced soon - cant remember whether upper/lower. If there was a lot of...

    It's a 52 plate, but the previous owner confirmed it had the recall done and with all relevant documentation to back that up - the noise sounded as if it was probably coming from the rear? Of course I could be wrong!

    Grinding noise

    Hello, Hoping I was just imagining it but i think I heard a grinding noise coming from the car today, only seemed to happen once or twice when i was driving at around 30 mph turning right, wheel maybe turned 180 degrees clockwise? Have also found that when the car is at access height one of the...

    I had this issue on my 3.9 Disco - it could be a vacuum problem (air leak somewhere). Check for any holes, slices etc in the vacuum hoses going to and from the airflow meter. Is the exhaust blowing at all with the catalyst rattling, as I knowing blowing may not help either.

    SUCCESS!! Took battery back to halfords, they checked it and found that one of the cells in it was dead, so gave me a replacement which they checked before I took it away. Put it in the car and it fired up straight away :) No HDC inactive light on start, no other unusual errors and no sound...

    When you disconnect the battery it resets the steering wheel angle sensor, which is required for either the DSC/ABS or both, so doing a full lock to lock tells the system where the end points are and therefore the position of the steering wheel :)

    Right, had the battery on charge all night, approx 15 hours. Stuck the multimeter on it today, first read 13.6V, then dropped quickly at first to 13.1, then as i was holding the multimeter on it just slowed but still steadily decreased at 0.1V every 10 seconds or so, the battery clearly has an...

    As far as I am aware the immobiliser can't have reset as I can turn the key to start and get the clicking noise of the solenoid, so that wouldn't happen if it had (I am quite willing to be corrected if my information is wrong!:P). So hopefully my problems will be sorted tomorrow, either with a...

    Yeah I made sure when I put it in not to do the stupid thing and reverse the polarity like a tool! It does seem to be taking some sort of charge, just at a very slow trickle charge rate... maybe that will give it some power tomorrow when I try again. Failing that i'll take it back and get a new...

    Just took the new battery out to try and charge it - stuck the charger on it and got a 0 amp charge reading - stuck the charger on the old battery that was in it - and got a normal 4 amp charge reading. Seems the new battery is gubbed!!

    Yeah it's from halfords, but bought a bosch s5 t20 - more than enough oomph, so i'm assuming it's just been sitting in stock for a while. Doubt many punters buy batteries that big often. The one I took out of the car was 85 Ah, which according to the manual is on the small side? Recommended was...

    Yeah I think it is flat - probably should have charged it before fitting it as knowing Halfrauds it'll have been sitting on the shelf for years. I'll jump it and run it for an hour, kick some life into it! Cheers Dopey :)
