Doing some tidying up and simple jobs to build my confidence back up and I need to replace the trim which covers the fuse panel in the passenger footwell. Could someone tell me the LR name for this and where I could get one? Thanks all

Getting comments from the Missus that worry me....she thinks mine is too much to look after and we don't actually need a Disco.....She's right, I mean hardly anyone actually NEEDS a Disco but when did that ever matter. When did she last not buy shoes/jacket/jewellery because she didn't NEED it...

Looking at a few options for mine but top of the list is a new battery. Had a few issues recently which I think has stressed the battery to time to replace. Other than that I may try to replace the hinges on the back door as the sag means it is very close to scraping the floor when I close it...

I fitted a replacement unit specifically to get Bluetooth but I had to get an adaptor to un-amplify the unit since I was using the original cables which still went through the amp under the passenger seat. If you have the same setup then may be worth trying to find one where you can turn off the...

Hi All, thanks for the suggestions and I will certainly be a little more careful about where I fill up. When my wife got her diesel Focus the dealer was more than a little scathing about the fuel quality from a certain local supermarket and I know that a lot of them get from the cheapest tanker...

Another silly problem with my Disco where I had managed to stall it while parking (it's OK, you can laugh) and it wouldn't restart. Thinking it may be a fuel flow issue, I left it overnight to calm down and tried again the next day but still no joy. Passed to my local mechanic and apparently I...

When I can keep it running, I normally see 27/28mpg on the brim to brim and divide method. Mileage seems to be about right for the journeys I do so it may be a little out but not much. I did get a little heavy footed and dragged it down under 25 at one point but why work that hard to use extra...

I was so lucky there, just enough stub left to clamp the hose on...very, very carefully

Tempting but I can't believe that even the smallest of tasks I do seems to some other bigger issue. Did an essay on here a while back but it has been ridiculous. Spring clips for gear lever bias had gone and I managed to fix that only for the fuel pump to fail two days later. Had a problem with...

I despair, I really do despair So, top hose burst heading up the M3. Not fun but just a case of waiting to get it stretchered home, replace the hose and carry on, yes?.........Ha, so that stupid stupid micro pipe above the main pipe on the rad gets knocked and snaps. No problem I just put on a...

Mine suddenly failed to shut after a fill-up and after some faffing about I 're-aligned' the plate with the pin the catch connects to and it has been fine since. I do agree though that this is not the most robust latch system I have ever seen

Ah ha you might say Been visited by the 3 amigos on and off for months now but I have been keeping a log and I know what it is. I have a few routes to/from work and the only times they come on is on one road when I am going past a building with lots of antennae set back in the trees. There are...

I was at the point you are now and went the other way. The radio/steering controls were fine but the CD Autochanger never seems to go for long before it either didn't recognise there was a caddy inserted or else it got stuck changing a CD. Appreciate what you say about the 'alien hardware' look...

Ah-ha....Thanks for that @sierrafery, that is a very good match for what I have been feeling from the pedal. With regards to fixing the Amigos, I did start tracking what caused them to come on but it was just so damn inconsistent I gave up. It can be weeks between visits and then they pop-up...

This may seem an odd thing to ask but I have been getting regular visits from the 3 Amigos for about a year now and the complete inconsistency of when they kick off led me to just ignore them, but... This may be co-incidence or paranoia but I think I am noticing a difference is how the brakes...

Same issue here although it seems the drip never happens when it rains, only some point up to several days later. Will have to have a look at the fix from Discool. Will be interesting to see what breaks once I have fixed that.

That's what I love about this forum :) No matter how bad the situation and how badly you describe it you can get the full range of options offered from the very helpful members... It's a 2001 TD5 Disco2 and after trying a nice slow drive on the way back this evening the weird...

So, I was gently moving down the lane to where I have to open the gate this morning and it felt as though a wheel was skipping on loose surface, except it is tarmac. As I concentrated there was a definite almost rhythmic lurch of no more than an inch as I crept along. Then I got to the main road...

Good to hear all is well at last. On a note for the fuel pump, I had similar concerns when I needed to work on mine but I quickly realised that this was ridiculous as I have a 7 seater so there are cutouts in the carpet for the seat latching (plus other cutouts to get to bolts holding the boot...

Sadly I have no off-road work area to do anything, when I changed the fuel pump I had a number of people wandering past having a good look and hurrying away when the swearing started :rolleyes: Will need to contact my favourite local Mechanic as I keep meaning to have them do a full checkover...
