Can any advise me on this please. I have seen on You Tube someone changing both steering wheel switches for radio volume, cruise, heated seats etc from the push button units to the later soft touch fitted from 2018 on. Mine is a 2018 with the virtual dash but the earlier buttons. Can they be...

Help. My beloved 100000 miler Disco 4 has a broken cam chain. Does this always mean bent valves and broken pistons? Is it worth taking the body off and hoping no real damage other than maybe a bent valve or two? Is it a right off?

Valid points, thanks. My basic S model has heated front screen so I presumed the GS has? I know things like arm rests, sunroofs etc vary, more concerned about any mechanical differences.

Looking to replace my old Discovery 3 with a 4 with 8 speed gearbox. It is a basic s model and I have had it for 9 years. Can any one tell me what major differences there are between a GS and XS? I have been looking at GS models with leather and I am not fussed about sat nav. What should I be...

Thanks.

P.S. Again. Anyone know if there is any one near Bath that can fit a remote for the Webasto fuel heater?

Forgot to add. I was not going to replace the sensor. Just by a new one, wrap it in pipe insulation and connect that up. It will not tell me if I have a overheating problem but might save pouring boiling water over the one still fitted just while the weather is so cold.

Thanks for all the replies. I`m sure with all this info I can get it sorted.

Thanks for that. It has been suggested I make sure the fuel filter has been changed. The car is regularly serviced so I am going to check and maybe get both changed.

Do you think it`s worth buying a new sensor and just wrapping it up well? £27 has to be cheaper than trying to drill out and replace the glow plugs, that will cost around a thousand pounds unless it goes wrong and engine out job?

I tried that as I also saw a post on another forum that suggested that, or even putting a paper clip between the contacts. It seemed to work once but I think that was a fluke. It still does not explain why pouring boiling water over the sensor works? I am amazed that a modern car will not...

New battery last year as we thought that was the problem. No short bursts ans she turns over plenty fast enough. The glow plugs need replacing but that really is not the problem. At only minus 1 a modern engine with modern diesel should not need glow plugs. It seems it`s to do with the temp...

Can anyone here tell me why a Disco 3 with knackered glow plugs will not start once temp goes below 0. Last year it would be OK as long as not below -4. I use the trick of removing the engine cover and pouring boiling water over the grey temp sensor, starts straight away. My 1998 Isuzu pickup...
