Let us know how you get on,did it pass ? 87k for £200.00 cant be bad as long as the rust dragon has not taken hold.

No need for an emission test just a smoke test,my LR 2 failed on the smoke test,the garage ran the vehicle up and down the local dual carriageway flat out in 3rd gear,back to garage and a pass !!!what the fs that about ??

When I bought my disco I did not have the radio codes,If I go to a LR dealer can I get them there,are they costly ??

This is intersting,I changed two tyres recently at 65,000 and the tyre guy said they were original tyres,I thought na that aint right 65,000 out of a tyre,could only get max 25.000 for wifes vauxhall.So if you can get this sort of mileage out of a tyre that surly makes em CHEAPER !!in the long...

It just goes to show what fecking robbers main dealers are,I would not go near them. If I cant do it myself I have a good local garage who I can trust, used them for years,never been robbed.

Yes !!Sounds like the battery, Can you get it tested ? If you got a poor battery no choice,change it.

Forgive for being a bit slow here but this "hawk eye" is a diagnostic tool that you plug into your disco and it will tell you if you have any faults etc? Is it a good idea to have one ? I get the garage to do anywork on my discovery as to be honest I cant be bothered to get my mits dirty these...

The fuel filler cap is a fail.Wifes astra failed on it she had a temporay one fitted,something to do with safety.

If you ask me the only hope is to have it professionally waxoyld they will wash and steam clean and pore wax into the chassis members cost about £450.00 but if it were me I would very wary of salt water it is vicious stuff !!

Sounds a reasonable buy if its has good history,and bodywork is ok it.I have a 2002 which I have owned for two years and has 66,000 and no trouble except of course the sunroofs leak. I have done 17,000 and only tyres,all four,regular services on the dot. I still look forward to driving her...

Changing the cam belt has to be just about the most important job to do on an engine that has a cam belt !!When I hear people say my cam belt has gone my reaction is why the fook did you let it happen,its your fault, change the belt in line with the manufactors recomendation and you eliminate...

According to my Land Rover manual the tyre pressures show As : FRONT 28LB 1.9 BAR REAR 38LB 2.6 BAR Thats a whole 10lb more pressure in the rear !! ??? is that right ?? got to be aint it if its in the manuel ?

I am like you,I owned an early disco in 1991,bought new,nothing but trouble sold at about 8,000 but still liked the look of the disco so bought a 2002 model two years ago with 51,000 on the clock done 17,000 since then.Sunroof leaks so taped it up,notchy gearbox cured by putting in correct oil...

Just changed my gear box oil to MDF 94 What a differance the change from 1st to second is, so much better and all changes are smoother can not believe it would make so much differance, Cheers Edge

You Know you can never trust garages,they will rip you off if they possible can its the nature of the beast. If you find a garage you can trust stick to them.I travel over thirty miles to my garage and I believe every word Mike says. John Dandy Motors in Gloucester

Reading this has answered a question I have had for some time,if its possible to increase the power of your engine by "re mapping" why do Land Rover not do this when the vehicle is new,obviously it puts to much strain on all the other parts.

Find a good Garage and stick with them,I travel over 25 miles to my Garage in Gloucester and I trust Mike completely.
