Yes , Read bodsys bible . What a lot of maintainance compared to a mechanical brake and how unreliable on an off road vehicle. Still time moves forward and I strive to keep up :)

Thanks for opinion . I was considering a RRS myself in future , but hate that EPB system and the repair bills that it can throw . I've always done my own servicing on my Disco 1 . but I feel the EPB would require a main stealer to service and repair .

Have a buddy with a RRS 2006 and he seldom uses the EBP he instead leaves vehicle in park , all in an effort to minimise wear and tear and servicing on the handbrake. Is he doing right ?

Half of them i have looked at buying have rear prop removed. I know why .... VCU usually. But how can I then check IRD is working properly ?

Thanks for answers . :D pretty impressive off road with TC .

Do all Freelander models come with TC in years 05 and 06 ? Thanks

I like the sound of a RRS 2.7 . Thanks all for explaining the different models . I read all the posts .

Anyone know if the RR 2.7tdv6 requires body off also for those repairs ie timing belts ,turbo etc or is there a little more room ?

RR Tdv6 after approx 2005 has D3 engine and D3 auto box and electric handbrake ?

Thanks everyone for replies .

So the RRS after 2006 has the same engine TDV6 and auto box as the D3 I now understand . If so that is good enough as a few friends of mine have over 200k miles on their D3s TDV6 and that is nothing to complain about . I had the usual problems with my D3 ,Handbrake ,compressor, EGR over five...

That was a lot of info in one reply thanks Does the RRS TDV6 (may consider one ) have a better auto box than the L322 ? You say its identical to D3 I do about 25k a year and tow so has to be diesel I am afraid.

Hi Was considering buying a L322 td6 2004 . Are they much more troublesome and expensive to run than my 06 Disco 3 tdv6 ? The L322 considering it is old, with full service history , and 130k miles Opinions appreciated.

I had same issue , I cut out the rust and plated over the hole only . .

Fitted new front calipers pads and discs , and the front brakes now pull equal and straight . So impressed I will next do rears calipers discs and pads, Ta all

check drive flanges also

Thanks

Try removing rear prop shaft with diff lock engaged and see how it behaves ?

Did you feel any windup in the drive system try driving on gravel ?

Hi , Can somebody explain how the central locking works please . I wish to operate central locking with key only . Its a 97 disco 300tdi I removed drivers door card and found no voltages on any of the 4 wires , but 12volts on two wires when the key is turned to open or close doors . Is it a...
