Is there anyone in or around Colchester with a working one that's willing to do a swap test at all? Don't want to fork out for another unit if it's not that.

Just drove 25 miles, used the heater on the only setting (full blast) stopped and took the unit out and it's stone cold. Thoughts?

There's not too much to the faulty unit. And it only goes in one way as the screw holes don't line up otherwise, so I doubt it's gone back wrong. Could I have soldered the transistor the wrong way? I didn't notice any sides etc. I'll take it out of its position and go for a drive tomorrow to...

When you say warm? Would I need to have the heat sink out of its place to feel it or............??

So....... today I changed the resistor as per Brianconwys advice. And nope. Still the same Unless my soldering is rubbish (it looked ok) Any thoughts?

Has anyone on here got a stock set up with the 245/75/16 tyres on? Would like to see a photo if that's possible. Thanks

Sorry if this has already been asked. I want/need new tyres for my 99 Disco 2. Currently I have some Insa Turbo retreads with the BFG tread pattern on the standard 16" wheels. I don't feel too confident with retreads for a start and I swear it feels like I'm driving over cobbles sometimes. So...

Soooooooo, my new Disco. The digital heater controls. They seem to work fine except the fan speed. On the lowest setting there's barely a waft from the vents, turn it up one and these not a great deal off difference and so on until the fastest speed. Then, it's like a hurricane (ok, I'm...

Probably a silly question. Does anyone know if power steering fluid and automatic transmission fluid AQ3 semi synthetic are the same thing? I've got two bottles of the latter and I heard somewhere that it's ok for my power steering. But I'm not sure now. Cheers

Done it!!! Massive thanks Biggeeeee. The old pipes were foooked! Now to try and put it back together. It's ridiculous the amount of stuff that's in the way. There's no chance I'm getting it all done before it gets too dark. Looks like I'm not going to work tomorrow

So there's no 'fixings' holding the rad? I don't want to pull too hard and break any more things?!?!

Morning all, I've bought myself a 99 td5 as a run around. It was 'cheap' and I knew it had the odd fault, but my plan was to give it a good service and change all the consumables I could. Breaks etc. BUT! On the way home from picking it up the steering went hard and notchy. I stopped and had a...

I've decided to stick to the TD5, just need to find one that's not got a rotten chassis. And the ability to see MOT testers comments from way back is proving invaluable. Thanks for the comments guys

Been looking at this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142240886100 Is it too cheap? Thoughts?

Thanks for the comprehensive replies guys. Really really appreciate them. I think I'll leave the V8 version based on your comments. I just needed someone to give me a little dose of reality I suppose. S'pose I'll keep searching and try to scrape a bit more cash together to get the best one I...

Oh. Not great replies so far I will be my daily, but I won't be doing a hundred miles a day in it. I'm only thinking about getter by an LPG converted model btw. I MAY do some light green laning if the mood takes me. I have very easy access to LPG, so that's not a problem and I'm hoping the...

Evening all. I'm after a Disco in the next few days. I've got about £2k to spend. There's not a lot of quality out there at the moment for the money I've got, but what I do keep seeing is V8 petrol models in decent condition. Ideally I wanted a td5, but I'm drawn to the big V8 petrol model...

Oh Mad Hat you are a misery ;-). I know the lane and all the ones around me very well, as I said, I just went for a look and as I tried to turn around to go home, I just slid. It would've happened to any of us it was that bad out there. But, you're right, I don't go proper laning alone. I'm not...

Right! First of all, let me say thanks to all that responded, but an even bigger thanks to Brian and Andy. I was properly stuck in some really claggy mud, but with some very clever winching and a little help from a few Trees, I made it back to civilisation. With all the ****ty things happening...

Apologies for being out of the blue with this, but is there anyone in the CM6 area with a decent 4x4 possibly with a winch? I did a little reccy down Peppers Green and managed to get stuck. I need some help please to pull me out. Preferably tonight 23/10. If there's anyone local that is feeling...
