Yep..you and Neilly must have bought One of These which is more than double the price of the Stoplock. I don't mind paying the extra money if it really works. I guess the thieves know the ones that are easy to remove and the ones that just take too long. I spotted a YouTube test video (for Land...

I actually gave the Yaris TWO oil + filter changes a year (every 6k as I do 12k a year). The engine block rusted so badly it exposed the oil and coolant gallies and it leaked oil and coolant. It had done nearly 160k miles in 8 years and NEVER broke down. I only got £70 from the scrapman :(

Hi folks After driving my Toyota Yaris to the breakers yard today (knackered engine) I now have to use my Disco 2 as my 'main' car for commuting to Manchester every day (500 miles a week). I want to have some visual security to deter thieves whilst parked in an NCP car park all day. Does anyone...

Approximately one arm and one leg per year to cover repair costs

If you haven't removed the A-pillar trim along the side of the windscreen, it just pops off with a plastic lever (held in with spring clips). I didn't disturb the headlining to route the wire. I slid a long cable tie from the centre (switch plate removed) until it appeared by the A-pillar. I...

Your wish is.... I decided to do it properly. I fed a wire from the fusebox using a replacement blade fuse with a soldered wire and bullet connectors (Cigar lighter socket circuit - so on only with ignition). I routed the wire up the pillar and inside the headlining to the blank switch plate (a...

Thanks for the ideas Have mounted a new cigar lighter socket with a flush twin USB insert (so can be used for just about any accessory). I fed a cable behind the headlining and pillar into the fusebox to fuse 15 (cigar lighter feed) rather than splicing into wires up top.

Thanks folks I was actually going to put a cigar lighter socket up there so I can disconnect the dashcam to stop the battery being drained. I asked a similar question about the redundant ACE sensor a while back and Sierrafery suggested I short out pins on a connector...but I don't even have the...

Hi folks Can anyone give me a good reason why I shouldn't tap into the 12V supply that goes to the courtesy light - to power a dashcam at the top-middle of my windscreen? By tapping into the purple wire and black Earth wire? Cheers

I cured a tinny rattle issue recently. It was the small engine mounting heatshield under the car next to tye exhaust pipe. I tried to bend it back but it just sheared off. It cured the noise.

I was productive today. I managed to: Delete the EGR valve with a blanking kit Replace the auxiliary serpentine belt with a new one Replace the belt tensioner pulley with a new one (chirping noise when cold is now cured) Of course when removing the EGR I dropped a small extension bar with an...

Thanks for the offer. I don't have any specific issues - but fancy being able to do my own monitoring and diagnosing as and when issues crop up. With a new Hawkeye (Total) and the upcoming Lynx Evo I am thinking that stocks of the older versions might start to get cheaper.

Looks like a brand new Lynx Diagnostic that interfaces with iOS/Android devices is about to arrive http://www.lynx-diagnostics.com/

On their website it is priced at £313.11 inc vat (https://www.nanocom-diagnostics.com/shop/browse) On their eBay store it is priced at £429.90 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nanocom-Evolution-Land-Rover-Discovery-2-TD5-Diagnostics-NCOM02-/231561378000?hash=item35ea2238d0:g:RMYAAOxy77hSF2R2) Are...

You have a Diff Lock....you lucky barsteward !

Thanks folks. I guess a low-tech solution is still a solution. Cheers

Hi Folks My Disco 2 TD5 EGR deletion kit arrived from Paddocks. It has the new pipe that replaces the valve, the blanking plate and new bolts. What it doesn't have is something to seal off the vacuum line. I have seen other kits come with something that seals the port where the vacuum pipe...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Of course I couldn't replicate the problem today when it is parked in my driveway and I don't need to go anywhere! I will check the connections on the starter motor though in case the wiring is loose. No doubt it will start playing up again when I am in cold wet...

Thanks Neilly No it doesn't- at least I cant hear a click. I may try opening the bonnet to see if I can hear something. Cheers

hi folks I have a new problem that has surfaced in the last week. My D2 TD5. I put the key in the ignition and turn to start. The usual lights come on but NOTHING. The starter doesn't even make a sound. It is like a starter inhibitor on an automatic when in Drive (but I have a manual)...
