Yep, doesn't even have to have the trailer on it, it's got the capacity to do it. This lad's crapping himself over the possible fine and points now. Shame they don't put the same effort into catching thieves, granny bashers and kiddy fiddlers ain't it? Rob

Quick word of warning, if your using your Disco for business use, and it has a towbar fitted, you could get yourself in deep water with VOSA, as the overall towing weight/combined weight excees 3.5 tonnes, so your vehicle would need to be fitted with a tachograph. Normally, I'd say bugger it...

As Burtonboy say's, the diff lock was deleted in favour of letting the traction control take over on the S2, probably due to muppets leaving the thing in and driving the kids to school and grenading the diff's/transfer box halfway down the road. I don't know if it was re-introduced later, my...

It arms the ejector seat........

Thanks Charles, just pricing up the tools to lock crank, cam, and remove injectors seals etc, already upto over £200, local landy specialist giving me a call later, might as well ask how much to do the job, let him have the headaches. Wifes just dropped the bombshell that the MOT's out on...

Well, after argueing the toss with the dealers, and still having no joy, the head is coming off the Landy on tuesday. I've talked to the lads at the local engine shop, and they agree with my diagnosis and will skim and pressure test it when it's off. I'm no stranger to the inside's of an engine...

Got to agree with you there, mine also came with the 18" alloys on, can't really see the point. It's bloody useless off road compared to my mates with 16's on it, and my tyre choices seem very limited (unless anyone can suggest different) 20" wheels? would you be blacking the windows out (****...

That black gunk all over the sensor will be inside your manufold, blocking the airway. It's a common problem that the EGR causes, ask CharlesY, he'll tell you the same. Best to get rid... Rob

It's the only sensor screwed into the inlet manufold with 2 screws.

Coming to the same conclusion, do it myself, at least I know it's done right. Rob

Thermostat?

That's the one I've got on mine, be prepared for a shock when you see the amount of ****e inside your inlet manufold when you take the ERG off. I took mine off and cleaned it out with a steam cleaner. Soak the allen pins on the exhaust manufold well with WD40 or similar first, I still managed...

Take the turbo boost sensor out of the inlet manufold and clean all the **** off it, then order a EGR bypass kit... Rob

Good point, the hose has gone weak, when it's cool it's obvious. Decided to have a quick look myself, the 'blockage' the dealer is talking about is a brown film inside the pipework... sound familiar? Some donkey has put radweld in it at sometime. Back it goes Monday... Rob

No Charles, it's still not right, and got to go back again. I still think it's a head gasket, but the garage are reluctant to spend money on it. Waiting to see what today brings... Rob

Well, just got back from picking it up, drove back, opened the bonnet, and the top hose is so big it look's like it will explode.... Waiting for a phone call back to say take it back in again.... The temptation to say 'I told you so..' is unbelievable. At least the fuel bill lower this...

Yes, mine does have a full service history, and I think we have just been unlucky. The dealers 3 month warranty is almost at an end so I'm thinking it might be a good idea. Thanks for the link, I've had a look and I'll wait for a call back! Rob

Well, the garage has told me it's not a head gasket failure, the radiator was part blocked (we'll see.....), and I should be able to collect tomorrow. I'm having second thoughts at changing it now, (must be going soft in the head...) we did Alton Towers (rip off merchants) in the wifes Focus...

Try this number, +44 1789 450808. It's Avon Automotive in Warwick, they can send you a repacement remote if you send them the alarm ECU by post. I know it might be a last resort by give them a call. They really helped us out when the wife lost hers to an MG. Good luck. Rob

Yes I did do my homework, I was aware that they suffered certain problems, as any cars might. I also consulted poeple I know that owned them, one who's on his 3rd disco who does europe, and he hasn't had any trouble (lucky bugger). I don't drive like a looney, (the H doesn't stand for...
