    Grinding and amber warning light when turning at speed

    Problem solved, noticed a rear tyre was slightly flat, pumped it up, sorted. DSC button is on and working, all wheel bearings are fine.

    Grinding and amber warning light when turning at speed

    Ok, I think I have found the problem. Button on the dash DSC ( drivers stability control) this is always on from start up. Turning the DSC off stopped the noise and juddering when turning. But why has this just decided to happen, something has triggered it? Thanks

    Grinding and amber warning light when turning at speed

    Got no idea, how would I tell if its the cornering roll bar system? I cannot see another reservoir next to the power steering reservoir.

    Have not checked wheel bearings and it is the ABS amber light. :confused:

    Grinding and amber warning light when turning at speed

    As the title, I am getting a grinding noise and a jolting movement and then the amber warning light flashes when travelling around bends. My brake pads were a bit low so I decided to change them but this has not worked. Could someone tell me what sort of problem I have? Thanks in advance.

    Clonking noise from front wheels

    I haven't had chance to change these anti-roll bushes as I had to do a trip to Holland over the weekend, however it seems to have gotten worse. Even when turning a corner now it clonks, turning left and right. Is this still the same problem or something different? Thanks in advance.

    Clonking noise from front wheels

    Hi, I have a problem with my 07 disco 3. When I drive over small bumps or pot holes I get a lot of clonking coming from near the front wheels or axles. My local 4x4 expert said it was the front anti roll drop link bars as they were worn and said he would do it for £90 :confused: I got them...

    Diesel leak from top of fuel tank!

    Chaps, Haven't been on here in a while as the TD5 has been behaving itself but today I decided to go out in it, it has been sitting there for a few weeks. It started first time but I smelt diesel straight away, on closer inspection I could see diesel trickling down from above the fuel tank. If...

    No1 injector and no fuel gauge!!!

    All sorted now. It came down to dirty injectors and faulty injector seals, as it happened mr mechanic had another set of clean injectors so he fitted new copper seals and fitted the injectors. It now purrs on tickover and drives normal with no sign of black smoke. It has cost me £400 which I...

    No1 injector and no fuel gauge!!!

    Mr mechanic said he has a defender ECU and he will stick it on the disco to see if it is the problem. My question is will a defender ECU work on a disco ??? I can't see why not. Steve.

    No1 injector and no fuel gauge!!!

    According to the garage that No1 injector fault was probably an old fault that hadn't been cleared. Ok, when its cold and sitting at idle at under 1000rpm its lumpy with lots of black smoke from exhaust, put foot on gas and driving its absolutely fine apart from when changing the manuel gear box...

    No1 injector and no fuel gauge!!!

    Ok, just heard back from the garage, new injector loom fitted, still has same problem, diagnostics say all injectors working in time with each other. :( Any ideas peeps? Fuel gauge sorted.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Just dropped the disco to the local garage to fix the injector and fuel gauge

    No1 injector and no fuel gauge!!!

    Chaps, Got a few gremlins with my TD5 53 plate and just want to clarify the diagnostics I have. 1. On tickover its very lumpy and sounds like its gonna stall, when changing gear it blows out puffs of black smoke. Had it on a diagnostics machine and it says No 1 injector short curcuit, and...
