Hi everyone, well i've now replaced steering damper and the track rod end but now think it may be the front shocks so going to fit them soon and we will see!!!

i've just found another person on here from about a month ago with what sounds like the same problem, think i'm gonna replace the steering damper first and take it from there, hopefully that will solve the problem but if anyone else has any other thoughts then please let me know thanks everyone:)

have checked the bushes on the front and they seem ok, it's only started happening in the last 2 months and was quite scary when it fist happened!! so if it's not the bushes does anyone have any other ideas of what could be causing it?

we just checked them didnt actually take all apart, i will check engine mounts etc thanks

no we have checked those too and all seems fine

Hi, can anyone help me as i'm a bit stuck!! i have a 1991 discovery and over the last 2 months my car has started to shake from side to side when i hit a drain or a bump in the road when driving over 40 MPH, it's worse when cornering. we've replaced track rod ends as they were a litle worn...

i guess it depends how bad it is, mine had gone by the wheel arch, the seat belt anchors were pretty rusted and there were a few spots where the front boot crossmember was. decided just to patch it up for now though you can get a floor plan for around £50. god the sound proofing was really...

yeah i've just taken all the carpet and sound proofing out of mine and had one larger hole by the wheel arch and a few about to rust right through, gonna get it fixed for MOT but tempted to buy a new floor plan! i love my disco but i've had nothig but problems this year, 1st clutch then CV...

Hi, i need some help on how best to go about this - next to the rear shock top mount there is some rust on the top of the chassie, looks like quite a tricky spot to get to, is it possible to lift the body slightly off the chassie and how difficult is this? got MOT end of June and it wont pass...

will do. i didnt check mine when i bought it 3 years ago and realised on the way home that the passenger window didnt work properly. me and my dad have done bits and bobs on my car over the years so will definately go over it with thoroughly! i will remember to check diff lock and low ratio...

Hi, thanks for that, i thought it was just the trim and a few added extras that were different. i'm going to see a N-reg tomorrow, has all the usual alloys, side-steps etc. lets hope it's a good one - seen a few that have silly things wrong like lifted dash, buttons missing etc, seeing as...

Hi, as you can see i currently have a H-reg 200tdi and looking to upgrade slightly. i like the disco's and have seen a few that are the ES and XS models. from what i can see, the only difference is that they have extra bits and bobs on body work and interior i.e. wheel arch covers, bits of...

thanks again everyone - you have all saved me a lot of time and money but helping me figure out what went wrong. cheers :)

ahh i get it. thanks for that Nat :)

one more question everyone!! can someone explain to me how a damaged CV joint would cause my disco to lose drive? it may be a really blonde question to ask but i'm no mechanic but am very keen to learn - and not affraid of getting my hands dirty :) thanks everyone

Hi, well i tried what James suggested and jacked up each front wheel at a time and got a nasty noise from drivers wheel so seems like it is the CV joint or halfshaft on the front. Gonna take wheel off tomorrow and investigate. will keep you all posted!! thanks again everyone :) Nat

well i've started some debate havent i!!! i will jack up the front wheels and test like i did the rear ones. the clunk noise did seem to come from the front of the car but who knows. thanks everyone, will let you know what happens once the front wheels have been tested.

also prop turns freely when diff unlocked

hi, wheels turn freely when jacked up and handbrake works fine too. after speaking to a mate, we think it's the transmition box - does that sound right

Hi, i chocked front wheels and jacked up rear turning each rear wheel and they move freely. any more thoughts? could it be the transfer box?
