Yes it is all repairable, but check the chassis carefully, especially the rear Qtr. That is where costs will stack up. Mine was the TD5 Manual, not the fastest but for size of vehicle more than adequate.

Someone will be along with more knowledge than me but I would think that sounds like an ABS sensor fault at one of the wheels. You need a good code reader to pinpoint the issue. It could possibly be the YAW Rate Sensor but to be honest I have not heard of one failing.

Yes if fitted separately the YAW rate is under the centre console as Nodge says. If memory serves me correct. The YAW rate has one connector and the RCM has two. I thought you mentioned an ABS fault ?

The ABS Module is situated behind the Brake booster.

On later models it was incorporated into the Restraint Control Module, which as Nodge says is beneath the centre console. BEWARE Before touching this ensure ignition is off and there is NO chance of power getting to the module. If you lift it with power on, car thinks it is in a roll and Airbags...

I think you must have had a bad 'un, or I got a good 'un ? Wet loom was a daft idea, but cheap and easy to keep on top of. For the size of vehicle and what it was capable of I was more than happy with the fuel Economy, Average 27Mpg. Over 30 on a run. The day after we bought it we set off on a...

Gotta disagree with you there. The car was far from perfect but the TD5 gave no trouble. Powerful enough for me, great for towing and reasonably economical. What's not to like ?

I'm not a troll either but I do keep seeing Ad's for a fuel additive that allegedly works wonders. They have been advertising in Classic Car Weekly for a few years and the results appear positive. Also seen this 'Stop Smoke Oil' ? Also in CCW I would like to see an independent review of any of...

Not familiar with the FL1 so wonder if the wire behind the filler could be for locking cap ? Or is there a filter nearby, could be Water in Fuel warning wire ?

Depends what he calls diagnosis. Plugging into a diagnostic and running a test won't take more than 5 minutes. Then you have to diagnose and hopefully cure the faults raised. Things like SWDL's will take longer. I believe the 2017 Landrovers have Software Over The Air and for 2017 I would think...

Sorry I can't really provide an answer but if a liberal dose of EZ start, nasty stuff, has been sprayed down the bores then it possible any gunge has been washed into the cylinder. This can give two problems, said gunge removed from around piston rings can lead to lack of compression. And of...

I did a trial fit and yes, they will go , the space between them is no less than when they where fitted in the Disco'. But the work involved is, as others said, not really worth it. I will revisit when I have time and look at the rearward facing option. Fitting up against the bulkhead may make...

Percy Vere. Is he related to Percy Filth ? If you old enough to remember. 🤔😀 The main reason I thought of the Disco' seats was I thought it would be easier. I will do some sort of trial fit first. But I am now thinking maybe minibus seats with the built in seatbelt ? I wanted something that...

Believe it or not the main reason I thought of the Disco' seats was so I could have them forward facing. With seatbelts ! :oops: Me putting cart before the horse.

You know, I had forgotten about the seat belts ! A very important point. It may be now dead in the water. Damn, wish I had asked first, I already ordered the seats. ☹️

Ok, thanks for that. I will have to install some sort of latch in the floor. Don't even know if they will fit. But I will get a seat and give it a try.

I am thinking about fitting two forward facing rear seats from a Disco' 2 into a SWB Landrover. I have been offered two seats from a breaker but the guy tells me that the brackets that they latch into cannot be removed. I am guessing they welded into the floor ?

I know someone with a Disco' Sport and he loves it. Pretty well equiped and does everything he needs and wants of it. Plenty of room in the second row seats but really only for children in the rear most. He had a gearbox issue which was software related and sorted under warranty. Given that, as...

I guess the only way to be sure is to try them. If the securing cups will twist to locate then that only leaves the connectors ? I know they are both square but may have different keyways. Let us know how you get on.

Are the struts handed ? Could you try the new strut on the opposite side. Unlikely both have failed at same time. Just an idea. Assume it does not work from two buttons on car or fob ? Only random thoughts but you could try the connections behind the boot panel. There are connections for the...
