Symptoms very much like head gasket. Get it fixed pdq and you may get away with a few dowels and a new head gasket.

Get the head off and check the gasket. +1 for a compression check as well which may show some connection will cooling ans/or oil ways.

No idea other than are they not before and after the cat making 2?

I would say that if you are considering buying a Disco needing a TC that you budget at least a grand to 1500 in the price, and thats if you are spannering yourself. The D2 will have to be cheap or very nice in every other respect.

Well there are a few on ebay atm. £150 used £350 refurb £850 new Gearbox and TC anything from £350 to £1k+

Have you checked the bulbs? As unlikely as it seems I was not expecting both bulbs to have failed at the same time on my sons car but they had. I too tried the fuses first but when I pulled bulbs, sure enough both failed!

OK the update is this; the part arrived double quick time today (Thursday), genuine LR part and I fitted it when I got in from work. All good, working great again now and I have a new part for little more than an old clapped out one is selling for secondhand. I'd now recommend woodacre 4x4 for...

Well done. Looks a bit better than mine but mine was oatmeal colour so it shows the creases an ripples a bit more. I'm delighted with mine too though, at least I haven't got the headlining cloth touching my head anymore. The kit is pretty good. Did you put some waterproof protection over your RF...

Well the drivers door stopped opening on the fob a couple of weeks ago, though it does lock on the fob. Sounds like a standard issue so needs replacing. Searched the usual on line sources and can't believe the prices people are expecting for a 20 year old part that is prone to failure. Some are...

TD5 chucking water out can be a sign that the head has possibly moved due to the plastic dowels LR conveniently thought to be a good idea. Usually a little advance warning though, coolant loss, etc. Assume the garage will need to take the head off at least.

+1 but its usually a little more subtle.

I've never had to change the brake shoes for the hand brake on any of my LRs. I did need to adjust once on my old 110 but thats it. Just curious as to what was wrong with the old shoes. Had they worn out?

Just realised its a manual. For some reason I thought it was auto, like mine :confused: Yes, a contaminated clutch is a distinct possibility.

Only time I experienced shudder/judder through transmission was when my UJ's were going. That was a manual 110 +2", on the short prop. Probably due to having the lift and increasing the angle on the prop. I put the new springs on but ran on the old 200k mile UJ's, which I assume just gave up as...

Hi, you will need a specific code reader. There are two types that people talk about on here but the one I use is the Nanocom. There may be members local to you who have one and might be willing to help but you could also try a local LR specialist to reset everything. I factored buying the...

Absolutely, not worth wasting time, just buy new and install. You then have a set you can recondition with new seals and sell or keep for the next time.

It would save some hassle with potential engine management and fuel pressure differences to find another 16p.

25k for my 2019 Qashqai, new cars before that were cheaper. Don't know why because I could have fixed up any car, just wanted a nice new car.

Locked down but about to be released

No not at all. Its been running sweetly for a couple of years now, the only thing I had to do recently was replace the RF receiver under the headlining.
