Thanks DiscoPol - it appears only the drag link ball is clunking but is it worth replacing both drag link and track rod or would you do them one at a time?

I know we've all been busy with getting used to the new look forum but has anyone got any ideas about drag links and track rods?

Evening all I've got a knocking noise coming from the front end of my Disco when I turn. Having looked at Rave and searched on Landyzone I think I've got the different parts identified properly but wanted to check first. Is the Drag Link the rod at the front that goes from the steering box...

Sounds like the Watts linkage - see here

You could check to make sure the rad isn't leaking - if you remove the fan cover and look at the back of the rad (might need to remove the fan to get a really good look) you may be able to see if there's any sign of a leak - it did on mine!

If they are not too far from you, you could do worse than call in to see South Coast in Eastborne, I've used them before and they know their stuff.

The expansion tank is just a wiggle and pull up to remove, do it steady so you don't break the pipe connections though.

I only know about it from what I've read in Rave: Thermostat housing A plastic thermostat housing is located behind the radiator. The housing has three connections which locate the radiator bottom hose, top hose and coolant pump feed pipe. The housing contains a wax element thermostat and a...

I can't work out how to use the multi quote button so see below for a few thoughts / pointers: Have a read up on the threads on here about the cooling system; I suggest you eliminate any leaks, replace the expansion cap and change the thermostat first. Hopefully that will cure it - if not come...

Having wrestled with these type of clips when changing my thermostat I bought some hose clip pliers Halfrauds aren't showing them on the website anymore but there are on Zamazon here Well worth getting in my view, I think mine were about £12 - £14

There's always the bay of evil

I'd use an impact gun if I had one and it went tight enough but as James says you would need to check it was tightened properly afterwards - 450 Nm is FT. Using a BF breaker bar and a 1" drive socket did the job for me

All seems sorted now. A trip to my local LR indy to have the fault codes cleared, a quick trip around the block to make sure the ABS works and the lights stay off. All looks good so far, no amigoes, fingers crossed it stays that way. Thanks for all the advice. Lessons learned: Get the right...

Radiator fitted, a slight leak where I hadn't got one of the hoses fitted quite right but wiht a little fettle all seems OK now. Now just need to get it plugged in to clear the three amigoes.

Started to replace my knackered radiator with a new one

I've bought the new radiator and am part way through fitting it, play has stopped for the night as it was blimmin' cold. Hope it's not too cold tomorrow am

Getting hacked off now: Radiator fubarred so can't drive it until I've replaced it. The small spigot pipe on the top nearside has snapped off - I've repaired it in the past but the repair has failed so it's time for a new radiator Any pointers on where to get one please?

Thanks - I'm off to get the Disco plugged in to the diagnostic at the local indy on Friday morning - will update with news

Thanks, wasn't sure what to expect - when I replaced the offside hub the lights went out on their own - before coming back on a few miles later as the nearside hub gave up the ghost. Will have to drive six miles or so to the local indy dealer to get the lights reset so that should do the job...

I think the one nearest the front of the car is the PAS but you're better off checking - it's written on the side of the reservoir, I'd go out and have a look myself but it's cold and dark
