An update on this. A couple of ground loop isolators post RCA-outs completely fixed the alternator whine. Set-up sounds pretty good now!

Just as a follow up, all done! Mate owed me a favour and did all the hard work for me :) All good, except I can now hear all the other whines and drones from the transmission that I need to look at! 20 years ago I had no issue doing all my own work on a car. I think I need to harden the feck up...

Sorry guys, had missed all the replies due to a non-landrover technical fault :) (yes, such things exist ! ) So, running quickly through repsonses and thanks for all of them. Halfords for generic servicing is cheap. The local branch was recommended by car-savvy friends, not car-mechanic friends...

Ok, just had the Disco in for a Major service at the local Halfords autocenter. Well worth it in my book, but that's by the by. When I took it in I did say that the nsf wheel bearing needs looking at. I'd had three amigos a couple of times which I had cleared with an icar diag kit ( erratic...

Hi, I've just replaced the head unit in my V8 ES Disco 2 and thought I would share some of the details for those that may be looking to do the same. There's a few guides out there, but nothing that seems to put it all together, so hopefully this isn't all old news! The following is just some...

Final post on this thread baring any replies! :) The jump-jet noise on cold start up still happens sometimes. I'll live with it. The brrt noise still happens sometimes, I'll live with it. The steering groan went away for a short while, specifically when Groot wasn't warm. By happenstance I came...

That is exactly where I hear the noise from! Thanks :)

Thanks all! Yep, definately air suspension. Also tested the little button today to raise and lower it and no problems there. The brrt hasn't happened again today and, with a bit of driving around the groaning noise is getting less so it may just need some miles driven to get everything happy...

I'll try and capture something on my phone next time it happens. Thanks. Yep, only on left steer and only at less than a few miles an hour. It isn't a grinding noise, just a groan like closing a rusted steel door.

Hi Disco 2 V8 ( facelift ) @TAH Airbag compressor == air suspension compressor. Apols if I'm missing the right terminology. @meego Power steering pump would make sense to me if it was both right and left. What am I missing? @jamesmartin 1) So, if it's not in full lock only, what could it be...

So, introduction forum post done, and day 2 of Disco ownership complete! She's now called Groot for reasons agreed between me and my daughter. Onto the questions if I may! 1) I have a groaning noise from the steering collumn under mid to full lock, left hand turn only, very low speed only. I...

Cheers all! It's not raining today, but possibly still not worth the drive to come back and look! I've been past Selby once and was dissapointed to find out that I was no longer in Gloucestershire :) Big fan of the A169 though!

Evening all! So today I ticked two boxes on my car bucket list. For starters, I've always wanted a Landrover. I've also had a requirement in my own head to own a V8 a some point before they become illegal ! :) So why mess around with anything else? Today I picked up both in one car. A 2003...
