As per my original post. One side is a tad higher than the other. I'm just trying to determine which one is correct (or not). Saves me scrabbling about underneath. I've suspected a height sensor for a while.

I was really looking for a measurement from road surface to say, the wheel arch.

Having just replaced the air bags my car seems to be a tad high on the drivers side (RHD). Does anybody know what the correct ride-height is, both with engine running and not. Disco II on 18" wheels, 255/55 tyres.

JEMNCHRISSY: Have you tried unlocking the car on the key, then, with the doors unopened, pressing the unlock function on the fob?

Are these MOT legal?

Just a thought. Is it possible a previous owner has tried to use a hard metal sump plug washer instead of a copper one and it has broken up and ended up in the sump? Stranger things have happened.

Mine's the same. Gonna try fine emery and cherry blossom!

Yes, the back of the seal fits in a groove in the caliper.

As far as I know changing to springs is only half the story. I'm pretty sure you have to change the anti-roll bars as well to be fully compatible to springs, and I guess they are not cheap.

Spray the back of the alternator with a good dose of WD40 or similar. Worked for me.

Have you checked for bad earths ?

Interesting, my letters are GBC so Great Big C--K to my friends ! Unfortunately not true:(

I can just imagine the next owner of your motor trying to get a non existent nut off:D

Make sure you're not going down the wrong avenue with your diagnosis. It could be the starter solenoid playing up. When it is worn cranking will be intermittent or not at all.

Don't believe there's any such thing as an oem pump. L/Rover get them from whoever at the time of build.

I recall someone on here asking why he/she could'nt get the covers off the non-locking nuts on a Disco !!:)

Sealant prevents oil seeping thro the hub. Any old sealant will do.

Take more care looking for leaks. They are not always obvious. Look down the righthand side of the engine to the bottom of the top hose. Water pump could be leaking. Other than that, thermostat could be stuck shut or rad header tank cap leaking.

I've got to ask, why "Yakult".

Has nobody found a way of repairing these yet. Awful lot of money.
