OK, I was happily ignorant of this joyous pin but now I have done some searching and am wondering if I dare get back on the road :eek:

Update - apparently the rear diff has completely destroyed itself. Now a cynic might think that a result of putting the front wheels on the rollers before someone screamed at them not to do it but.... They say not, I have no evidence they did and when a diff goes it will turn itself into swarf...

Apologies all, it's clear now I should have put more detail in but I was trying to keep it short and not to get too emotive. Yes, it was the brake test as they don't have the right rolling road for 4x4 and the diff seized although I don't even know if that was normal driving or when he hit the...

So, put my Disco in for it's MOT and while it was on the road test something broke and they had to stretcher it back to the workshop......I will now need to borrow SWMBO's car for the week as I work away which complicates things but can be handled. $64,000 question..........how much do they...

If you can get a group buy organised I would be keen to buy one

Oh the shame... :( I have now been banned from doing any maintenance more complex than filling the screenwash bottle Turns out that anyone can make their Disco fuel pump really noisy, you just have to swap the white and black hoses over. But in my defence, why in the name of all that is Holy...

Disco 2 TD5, and it sounds like someone is stood behind me with vacuuming up all the bits which fall off with an over-age Henry

So readers of my previous posts will know that I have had a bit of a year so far with the Disco. Anyway, the new fuel pump which went in a few weeks back was registering a quarter tank low and while I could have just gone on the 'miles since fill-up' I decided that it would be better to adjust...

Had to do this recently and to get the cards in to release the latches I needed to carefully use a flat-bladed screwdriver to make the gaps big enough. The clock fascia is a little larger than the body which doesn't make it easy, I also had some thin foam around the body which was a challenge to...

Probably could but realistically it's not a critical component so I might just leave it as is (no cogs/weak spring) until I can think of an effective repair. If I get there I will post it in case anyone else has the same silly issue.

Ah, that's a little embarrassing.... Next time I must remember to check the whole unit before going public. The cog thingies are working as intended, what is NOT however is the springs since the bits of plastic they should lock against to provide tension are both broken off so not enough oomph...

Sorry, was that MPG or GPM? :D

Just had to replace the clock bulb and having checked through all the threads there seemed to be two methods. One was to use two credit cards to release the catches and just pull out the clock, the other was to remove the ashtray/cup holder/coin tray assembly and drop the clock down. Turns out...

May be a bit of dialect as when I looked at the link it showed a 'non-runner' Freelander which was also called a Jeep and also in Newry. Wonder if there is any other connection?

Ummmm, can I slip in a comment here? Not that I am an expert on this but I have just had a problem with a lot of similarities where initially mine was fine below 2000rpm but there was nothing above...this then went to lumpy running and eventually gave up altogether. This taken with your...

Passed a car running DRL the other evening and there was nothing lit at the back. How many people are driving around like that thinking their 'Auto' light setting is on (another bug-bear for another time) and cause people coming up behind them conniptions when they realise there is something there?

Looks rather smart, and the perfect location to show it off.

Having taken a very very grubby and dead fuel pump out last weekend, I was wondering today if I have missed a trick on the maintenance front. With 160k on the clock, should I be thinking of flushing the fuel tank out? Is it practical, cheap, effective? Any thoughts?

Up at 160k just now. 13k since buying it last June and the saga above is all I have done so far.....I have a list waaay long I would like to do but bills keep getting int he way. Very first thing will be a proper once-over by someone who knows what they are doing (not me then, probably my local...

The very nice man did the cleanup for me. Also showed me the pool of oil that came out from the ECU :oops: Nice thing is I got the modified loom installed so this will never ever ever happen again, probably. I have to be careful on the cleaning side as I have to do it all parked on the road...
