A lot of work has gone into that but it’s not for me. It’s been given sporty credentials it doesn’t deserve and the bumpers make it look like it was designed by the chav who thought it was a good idea to put a stupidly loud exhaust and Lamborghini doors on his corsa. I do like the idea of a...

Well I will wrap this up I managed to sort it. In case anyone stumbles across this with a similar problem it was the relay for the air suspension. This brought up no fault codes whatsoever but when removed both air suspension lights would come on. I switched it for the windscreen washer relay...

I plugged it into the diagnostics machine at work (not Land Rover dedicated) and brought no fault codes up and nothing odd. Still got nothing at the compressor, haven’t been able to test the electrics as I’m working until Thursday so might remove it and test it on the bench. No fuses or anything...

Is was the first thing I removed and the vehicle is manual

I will give that a try. The only other thing that may give a clue to the issue is since I bought the car in feb last year and the relay for the air suspension under the bonnet has clicked constantly for 20 or so minutes when the discovery is switched off or it starts when it’s unlocked. I...

Hi all I have a weird fault with the rear air suspension on my discovery. I have read the definitive guide on this forum but it haven’t come to a solid conclusion after reading it. So I parked the discovery up Saturday afternoon and everything was fine no issues at all. Started it today and...

Hi all I’ve done a few threads previously on td5 power and I’m doing another just to ensure everything is working correctly before a remap. Before hand I had poor power issues low down my disco would die on hills if it was screaming on the way up. New genuine maf, cleaned map sensor, fully...

I had a similar sort of problem in a Range Rover classic manual not an R380 box but clutch hydraulics are very similar. In short the master cylinder wasn’t allowing the fluid to move as it should so the more you pushed it the more the clutch slipped until it didn’t engage at all. For the price...

Going with tyres that big will make it unpleasant for long distance on the road. They will also put a hell of a lot of strain on the driveline especially the axles. That age disco should have traction control and a centre diff lock so just some decent off-road tyres would be plenty for...

The td5 needs revs to progress well it’s quite a strange way to drive a diesel. In an auto this is obviously more difficult. Before I used to change gear at about 2500 and that meant the next gear was always below the turbo kicking in properly. Now if I want to accelerate hard i go all the way...

Sorry to hijack this but it’s related to steel wheels on a disco 2. Do you need dedicated steel wheel nuts or is it perfectly safe to use the alloy wheel nuts?

I run 16’s on mine and I’m looking at given the new general grabber at3’s a go I wanted at2 but all my local places and even online places have no stock. Im not a fan of a lower profile tyre on a 4x4 but then it depends what you do with it if the road is all it’s ever going to see than no...

At the lro show I had a look at synchro gearboxes stand and thought the difference in feel to the gearbox with the slickshift was incredible. However before forking out £80 odd has anyone any first hand experience with this product can the Land Rover gearboxes actually keep up with the shorter...

Misspoke in my first post I meant 30ish to the gallon for normal driving and getting the 600miles. Then I put 30 plus mpg (over 30mpg) on the run to to Peterborough however it wasn't an exact science in that case so although in order to get 700 miles would mean doing about 35mpg. I was doing...

Depends what roads you're driving I often get about 600miles out of a tank normal day to day driving which is country roads, a roads and a little bit of town driving. On the way to the Land Rover show in Peterborough from Devon I got about 700 miles out of a tank. So around 30mpg plus. Haven't...

I agree to an extent I've tdi'd my 109 because my Land Rover is used for its original purpose. It tows, it carries it goes off road. Unfortunately towing 1500kg with a 2.25 diesel 109 is just not suitable for modern traffic conditions anymore. Tip for the OP is the best thing you can do is...

I've changed the rear bags on mine and mine don't squeak infact if they're fitted correctly there's nothing anywhere near the bags that can cause them to squeak by something rubbing on them. The only thing I can think of making the bags squeak is they're twisted slightly or where they fold over...

Hard to say what yearly costs would be depends on many factors. I do all the work myself on mine and on parts alone I would estimate £800 since February. However with labour cost I'd imagine closer £2500-£3000. It's the labour cost that makes these costly. Parts cost are similar or in most...

I will just wrap this thread up as I believe I have gotten to the bottom of it. I removed the wastegate modulator and by passed it this helped, silicone turbo hoses replaced a slight split in an old one. The weirdest fix was not what would be expected. My engine always seemed to be making a...

I had a similar thing the other other day my abs, traction control, hill descent control, air suspension lights all came on at once switched off and switched on and all was fine
