    whine / whurring noise need help again

    Have you tried putting it in low range to see if it affects noise? and also see if it happens when reversing.

    Cured sticking hydraulic tappet with ease!

    Hi hopefully this post will help people with a sticking valve. My noise was a loud tick when the motor was warm, it sounded like a leak or cracked exhaust manifold with a loud tapping. Because I occasional get a tappet rattle on cold starts (only 1 or 2 seconds) i thought i would try wynn's...

    auto fluid level drop after change

    Hi its leaking from the lip of the sump in the small gap between the gearbox. There does not seem to be any space for a leak to come from anywhere else but the sump. Luckily its not leaking bad, thanks for putting my mind at rest with the above info, its really appreciated!

    auto fluid level drop after change

    Hi no leaks at all another issue is the sump gasket was leaking so they replaced it but it still has a leak from the back of the sump next to the tranny. They are saying its the crank seal ?

    auto fluid level drop after change

    Hi I took my 1997 3.9i LPG discovery to a LR independent garage due to some leaks. The autobox had a crack on the casing so the casing needed to be changed. After getting the car back I checked the level (in park engine running) and there was no fluid. It took 1.45 litres to bring the level...

    Waxoyl or fail???????????

    Waxoil works brilliantly as long as you got rid of all the flaky rust before applying it. Ideally you should do the whole vehicle once a year around october time(before the council start chucking salt all over the road). I promise you if you do this your car will last a very long time.

    Upping the value

    Seeing as you spent so much money on it, it must be in almost 100% condition so is it not better just to keep it. Thats the only way you will get value for money, by just keeping it.

    baby seat

    I had the same problem on my 1990 discovery but when i bought my 1994 discovery the same seat fitted. I thought the belt would have been the same size but it was not, it was obviously longer.

    disco buying help please

    Are you sure the reaction he's talking about is not aluminum corrosion. I had that on my discovery, rub the paint off and loads of white powder came off too but the aluminium panel was actually fine, if it had been a metal panel it would have been pitted badly. Then i simply resprayed and its...

    Traitor........im so sorry.....

    People are so scared of buying jags and i dont now why. Since ford took over jaguar the cars have been really really reliable and you can source cheap parts for them too. My 4.0l sovereign 1992 did 25mpg and was 100% reliable. Cars these days are so ugly thats why i love the look of the...

    First time buyers need advice !

    Its different for me because i work at home, i think if i did'nt i would still use a landy as a second car. If i could only afford to run one car i would run a v8 with lpg kit because diesel is getting so expensive. But some lpg kits can be more trouble than their worth. Anyway off to bed got to...
