So that's a no then... A alternator and battery wouldn't bother me....

Swapz The link to the discovery hope I'm not breaking any rules posting this link?

Failing that I'm contemplating selling the p38 and settling it a disco 200/300tdi a lot less electricals and toys to enjoy but also less to go wrong. Would £1000 sound reasonable? It's tax until en of July an mot is december

Compared to my range rover with the suspension the way it is, gearbox the way it is all the rattles inside I think a series 1 would drive just as nice ha ha That's my concern no history... I was thinking of asking him to include a full service kit aswell as cambelt kit so I could do it all...

Hmmmmm I'm in a bit of a pickle, iv been offered a really clean discovery 300tdi it's probable the cleanest iv ever seen never been welded only slight bubbles of rust starting to show on body (hardly noticeable) very original not been messed with. Only problem is it's got no service history...

A little update after doing the oil and filter last week my car got a nail in the tyre (luckily this was a tyre ready to b replaced anyway) and I never had time/pump at my house to inflate it to get me to a garage as I want the tyre off the spare steel putting on the alloy with the damaged tyre...

Sorry the bmw has gone now I got a p38 for it.... Should of closed/updated the thread

Yes the lovely 1.8tdci engine.... Anyway enough of her troubles let's fix mine first! Ha ha

Here's the bloody shock! Looks like it's been sheared for a while but must have only just popped out! Another job to do!

Right just got home from work/doing the filter.. Changed filter and oil and added Lucas stuff I was shocked how thick that stuff is! Before hand it wouldn't change up or down in manual (1,2,3) now however it changes up sometimes when I move it up through but changes down everytime! So it's a...

Oh I know I'm not to confident driving it to be honest! Especially seems my best friend/mechanic who usually pulls me out the **** went away to Portugal this morning! I'm contemplating hiring a car for the weekend!

If I had a bit more time to spare I would but we are going to Wales on Friday for the sister in laws wedding and we can't take the wife's focus as the "engine system failure" light has came on this morning so going to change the filter today and hope that sorts it if not it'll be a trip to Wales...

Oh really?! Well if I see a slight improvement with the trans fix and normal ATF I'll do as suggested and give another change in a couple of weeks and use all Lucas that time! But seems iv already got everything ready to here might aswell give it a go! Is the difference normally instant or will...

Oh well I got the Lucas stuff for free and the ATF only cost me £11 for 5 litres plus the filter kit which was £5-6 so after this I'll leave it with my friend to have a look over it for a week ten if no joy it'll be going up for sale as it is... Shame really as it's grown on me the last couple f...

Ha ha then id be using my expensive polish and wax! Plus at the end of the day it's a land rover they don't look right too clean! If the oil and filter change don't solve anything does anyone have any other recommendation apart from a replacement gearbox? I'll be using the Lucas auto trans fix...

Oh well always Ben told to try the cheapest possible scenario then go from there :)

Is there a process I have to do to reprogram the new sensors? In my bmw I had to hold the key in the ignition at position 1 for 60 seconds for the car to do a scan of itself and register id changed the brake wear indicators and pads..

Quick update fitted the temp sensor it was a green one fitted already, took it for a drive and no different, 42 minutes altogether which I'm pretty happy with! Also realised the part I had was a MAP not a maf sensor! Fitted that and no different so it's an oil and filter change this evening and...

Ha ha true that's the problem with eBay these days it's full of complete dicks!!! In no rush so I'll just keep my eyes peeled
