Sold to someone thought it was a bargain

The link below may be of interest to you although the are more available, as I expect you have the 4.0 or 4.6 engine fitted to your disco, and if so then I believe that the security system is coded specifically to the vehicle, which will add a additional issue if you wish to try a replacement...

1. The flame trap is or was a service item and replaced when I had my RR by the main dealer service dept. Fo the ten years I owned it. When I started doing my own service on my disco I fitted a new replacement and with the old one cleaned in petrol (engine is low mileage so only had to remove...

Hi, the resistor is fitted on a heat sink/bracket which is mounted on the rear engine bay bulk head, or was when the vehicle left the factory, there is only one double pin plug, so just remove from its socket and tape it up and leave it at the side. And then the dim dip function will be...

Around the time the 3.9 was in the showrooms then, also the exposed front door hinges disappeared at the same time, plus a new dash, just some of the things I saw when having a ‘nosey’ when my RR fitted with a smooth spoiler was in for its service.

Check the headlamp bulb earth connection on the body (black wire) and/or replacing both headlamp bulbs with brand new ones. And leave the resistor disconnected of remove the relay as you don’t need the dim-dip feature. Also the relay modification above was suggested because the earlier RR and...

Is this any help 🤔 numbers may have been superseded by now.

With fuel pressure the TA is 1996 model year and VA is 1997 model the engine is the same as the 1995 MA Vin so any component change or addition is simple a design change. The last D1 model year was 1998 had a few design changes to the vehicle, then the 1999MY disco was a D2 which appeared in the...

Ho dear it looks like you have been looking at the D1 options catalogue again 👍

Ok, the fuel pressure regulator ETC8494 is fitted to vehicles with a TA Vin and ETC6185 is fitted to later vehicles with a VA Vin. Throttle spring ERC3792L is correct… but now obsolete☹️...

It seems that you have giving the engine it a good shake down, with the ten parts u replaced also Champion plugs are ok. I can’t say I ever seen the engine check engine light in my 3.9 illuminated, so it thats so then that may be a clue to a faulty EFI ECU, something which I had with my 3.5...

The D1 left the factory with four different engines, two diesel and two petrol, which do you have?😊

A Discovery Sport automatic gearbox overheating, so it looks like your focusing on an iffy temp sensor, is that a guess or a certainty? as it also could include leaks in the lines or a malfunctioning cooling fan; all of which prevent the transmission from adequately dissipating heat. So do a...

Another part number comes up ERC3606 so depends on the original item 🤔

Are you unable to select a gear/s without the engine running? If yes then try starting engine in gear, brakes on of course, Ive had to do that with a summer car I have in the garage as the clutch plate have been known to be stuck over the winter, brutal but it frees the plate… the clutch is...

In my 37 years with two auto LRs which have only used Dexron mineral spec auto fluid which is semi synthetic without any issues… so what have I been missing ?

It’s the specification that's important not the Brand, as the fluid you have is the Dexron lll spec then thats okay. Your owners handbook will have more info.

Also a local earths connection point can be found under the dash behind the driver and passenger foot well kick panels.

The Discovery 150 was limited edition in 1996, not from the factory but a group of UK dealers and based on some similarities to the XS, such as XS wheels that are fitted Central locking with key or fob, it’s ok to lock, but you need the fob to unlock otherwise the alarm will sound. If that...
