    Discovery won't start! Help!

    I had the same problem tonight. Missus brought the car back from pony world, and abandoned it with the trailer still attached, cos it wouldn't start. Took the lappy outside, found this thread, got my LR tool kit out (hammer and crow bar) gave it a good wack and hey presto. So Thanks very much...

    Holmfirth in a td5 with side steps!

    Hmmm, yes, Good advice. Probably solo driving to a much lower standard than capable to keep out of trouble. Just put Billing on the Calendar today, so maybe I'll be a bit braver in the right environment. Cheers.

    Holmfirth in a td5 with side steps!

    Hi Paul, Yes that was my guess. that at the time the booklet was published, the description was probably right. But now the lane is wrecked apart from anyone with about double axle extensions. Still gave me something to talk about. Thanks.

I think it sounds like a good plan of attack given that the costs arn't too extreme compared to many LR jobs we have probably all had done at some point in time. Now where did i put this...

    Hi andy, Thanks for the response. The Shocks bushes should be OK as they are new Monroe Shocks front and back. I feel that its a rear wheel issue, A bit like sort of a rear wheel steer. I feel that its almost like as the rear diff load changes due to the cabre of the road then the slack changes...

    I like many people, I guess got the free little book with the popular LR mag last month. Found myslef in Holmfirth, having chosen an "easy one".

    td5 TC problems ?

    Many thanks, I think you make a good point Yes, I was creeping up pretty slowly. as the top was a bit of a saddle which i wanted to hit square in the middle. so I guess up to three wheels were slipping in the clay, but I suppose I was surpised that the one rear wheel didn't seem to be doing any...
