    rear indicator

    Get underneath and have a look as im sure the indicaters in the bumper just clip out mines a 2001 td5 and the one above the exhaust on mine keeps getting a small amount of water in it, despite all the seals looking OK, think it must be the heat from the exhaust gases condensing, mind you might...

    Gear Change Clonk on Discovery 2

    There is also a huge debate on weather auto boxes need there oil changing at all on here somewhere, I have done mine but was advised (again on here) that once you do this and run it for a few 100 miles to do it again as changing the inner filter (metal plate thingy) can stir up all the crap so...

    Well I paid the man after the test drive and what can i say, my baby is really smooth now, runs through the gears quicker and smoother, revs reduced slightly when in top and cruising but the real beauty is when you floor it, revs kick in faster and it drops down with a more meaningful push...

    I think Traction Control too, although mine went through a period of making the noise (especially when accelerating over rough ground or even over a rised man hole) but not eluminating the TC light, i think it was a lose connection as the light seems to come on now every time i hear the noise...
