    Disco 3 (LR3) Electrical tow socket not as expected?

    Thanks Guys. i have looked at the fuses and their fine :( I will have a look at the pins on the socket tomorrow. I read some where Land Rover have to program the car for towing. However I assume its already been used for towing before I got it?

    Disco 3 (LR3) Electrical tow socket not as expected?

    So I now have my 06 tdv6 replacing my 300tdi. Come to check my trailer lights and the only thing that worked was the passenger side light? Worked perfectly on the 300 any ideas please? Frank

    TDV6 anything good to say about them

    Funny thing so did mine, but I didn't listen.............but what else out there can tow 3500gk which I do form time to time, can seat 7 which I regularly seat 6 and is a Manual transmission. I looked very very hard and at first I thought it an easy task but time after time the Discovery was...

    TDV6 anything good to say about them

    My 300tdi was a charm as well.....it was BER and i have been restoring classic vw campers for 27 years, have my own wee repair garage with spray booth and welding gear and tbh it was just way too much work and i'm really surprised just how quickly the chassis corroded in 11 months from the...

    TDV6 anything good to say about them

    That's an interesting point, thanks. I will have chat with them and see. i have done a very quick add up using non standard pars and the EPB unit can be bought for around £355 to £420. Rear discs vary from £25 to £50 each and pads £30 to £60 and rear parking brake shoes about £55 and labour £45/hr.

    Uhmm. I don't know about it being a high end vehicle but still after a lot of reading on the tinternet it would appear the "screech" is almost a joke in word for Disco 3 ownership. Apparently this could happen multiple times over time which makes me think £1500 every few years just to repair the...

    Disco 2 Body restoration panels required urgently

    Thanks for the advice, I will be trading it in against the TDV6. I wont t get much for her but I will be driving over 262 miles to pick the TDV6 up and leave the 300. I've already got a full tank of fuel that needs using so I recon i've got the equivalent of about £500 for her taking all things...
