How much of a job is it to change the rear brake pipes, mine has had another advisory of corrosion on the mot and sooner or later it will be a fail I expect, is it another Land Rover design of body off or can it be done without major work. Thanks

No it’s a 2015 discovery 4, last of the old shape , I have had a good look underneath, nothing but a bit of surface rust which could easily be rubbed down and sprayed back black, the only part under that is bad is the Diesel tank guard which is another common thing, I could just un bolt it and...

The mot had to be stopped when it got to the emission test because a part on there machine broke, it’s got to be re tested next week, I asked would it of passed up to then and he said no it would of failed on 2 tyres that are split to the core, he all so told me of the advisories , apart from...

At £34 Grand I hope it’s not a Crock of ****.

Why is it when ever i buy a vehicle from a dealer with no MOT advisors I get a list as long as your arm when I have to MOT it, I wouldn’t mind if I had done thousands of miles in the year, I would of taken it back to where it was last Motd but its a long way from me, surely car dealers don’t get...

Can’t help I am afraid but at least you are having a go, I have a noisy release bearing that I am told is box out and I have been putting it off and just listening to the clicking sound, hope you get it all sorted. Regards Chris

just had a look again today and the only place the Earth lead actually works is under one of the bolts on the rocker cover, it starts every time and hits over fast.

Ok thanks, I’ll have a look when I am next able to

Yes I have the starter Earth to the chassis, it’s the actual battery Earth I think is causing the problem now, where is the best place to bolt that Earth . The old starter did spin on the bench but not as quick as the new one.

Ok just taken the new starter off and it spins on the bench so not faulty, new battery fitted as well, where should the earth strap from the battery be bolted, it’s bolted to the battery cradle at the moment, I put a jump lead from the battery Earth to a bolt and it started once but won’t do it...

Decided to buy another starter for a quick repair, that starter is only clicking when I turn the key not even turning over slowly, I have put power directly to the starter and nothing, looks like the starter they sent me is faulty, what are the chances.

Thanks for replies, i will be looking at the starter as this seems to be the Most likely cause, I see on evil bay they are about £120 new, I think the seller has sold a lot of them as well. Thanks chris

My 11A has been getting harder and harder to start first thing, it’s got the original 2 and 1/4 petrol engine in, turning the key it’s just cranking to slow, sometimes you could hear a whining noise, I’ve checked all the leads, earths etc and all seems well, I’ve just put a new battery on and...

When i slightly push the clutch pedal down with the engine running it stops.

Sounds like a big job

My series 11A has developed a clicking noise from the clutch pedal area, if you put a little pressure on the clutch pedal just the weight of your boot is enough it stops . Any ideas Thanks Chris

These just come up with Error on the screen, the reverse camera is working fine, I am sure they used to work , I was just fiddling with me buttons while waiting for the wife and noticed they don’t work now, any ideas apart from don’t fiddle with buttons. Thanks chris

I will remember this when it’s MOT time.

I think your right.

Brought a new tow rope for me 11A yesterday and today it conked out, seems to be the fuel pump, if you keep primming the lever it starts and runs ok, if you let it stand I think petrol is leaking out the pump emptying the bowl.
