Agreed regarding cheese etc! The non starting thing has put in an appearance every 18 months or so. Always the same, the engine runs for 1/2 a second, as per the WSM, then cranks but doesn't start until unlock is pressed. A couple on this...

I have a similar fault with my Disco and have had it for ages. I simply start the car soon after unlocking it, or press the unlock button on the fob then start it quickly. But mine doesn't even crank, the little red blinking light comes on until...

Thank you!

No you're not providing you follow THIS

No, they are still in France! We have just moved house so can't get back until later this month. Luckily SWMBO had her keys when we got here (to the old house). She's not pleased that her spare Peugeot key is in France! It's our old house...

Oh whoops! hope you have recovered them safely. :(

We are also in 16, but have spent very little time there this year (but just long enough to leave the Disco and UK house keys there😖😖😖😖). Not close to 81 though….

😄😄 Thank you!

Just an eBay special to see if it worked. France? I’m not entirely sure the range on these is THAT good!

Well done! One stress over. Where did you get the fob? Long story, but my fob is in France…..

It’s fixed!! It was an issue with the actual remote fob itself. I bought a new fob, coded in absolutely fine. Lesson learnt to not put off buying a second key fob. Thanks all for your help!

Headlamps fitted and passed the Contrôle technique. 🙂

Had a chance to get under the disco and see what was going on, and thanks to Discool and the pic posted above 👍 I located the problem. The cable selector FTC566 had snapped at the end near the gearbox. Also the lever that attached to the...

I'd rather drive my D1.

That’s a keeper.

Joint universel, qui permet Les Deux parties de l'arbre de transmission de continuer a fonctinner quand une partie change son angle envers l'autre.

+1^ to all of the above. I too had to do it. IF you can get it off intact, i.e bolt/stud holes, threads etc , then do take it off skim it and cut all the webbing away. I had to use left hand drill bits etc etc, and still ended up having to do...

It's an easy job if the studs don't snap or damage the threads in the head.

A couple of the guys on D2BC have fitted that one - apparently just needs the connector on the cable changing for the one from the old fan.

That is a real shame. This one...

Yeah, Rockauto for mine as well

This is the motor, but currently out of stock. I know many have used it. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1408527&cc=0&pt=6920&jsn=3

Well they are both aircooled as well! My dad had one, a firm's car so I never worked on it. My wife's Chesil Speedster is powered by a very tuned VW aircooled flat four and talking to the mechanic at Chesil was how I found out that they have...

Similar, Citroen GS/GSA! Flat 4, but that is where the similarity ends I think.

:eek: Mad! I have owned a car which had no head gasket, but it was designed that way...

Eh?? It's a Land Rover;);)

ERR7247 I think. Maybe the ring was thieved from the box. Happened to me on various parts.

Thank you for confirming that. And good luck with your oil pump bolt. Don’t envy you, at least mine is all accessible from the top!

Well, it’s happened again, this time from the cylinder head end, last time from the FPR. The diesel slick behind and the diesel stink made me think something may be wrong!! Luckily I was only a road from home and just got into the drive. The...

Great news!
