Hi guys, thanks for reply’s. Traction control is kicking in in the corners. Really really badly when I’ve got my trailer on the back. It kicks in both left and right corners but definitely worse on the side of the wheel that the tyre is wearing funny. I will try the rocking wheel to see if...

Hi guys, the 2 rear wheel on my d3 are definitely at different camber one I’d say is correct but the left one definitely seams too straight. Also the outer edge of that tyre is wearing on the wheel that’s too straight. any ideas? A simple tracking/alignment job or is it control arm bushes...

They repaired the actual module so don’t think any new shoes etc went on. what confuses me is the grinding / vibration on lock, I don’t see how steering lock would make any difference to rear wheels

This is what is confusing me as I had not long had the car and my handbrake wouldn’t release so the garage have just put it all back together then 3/4 days later this started. You hear a short wirring noise while the motor presses the shoes up tight then right at the end of the wirr you hear a...

Spoke with the mrs last night (as I’m rubbish with times and how long things have been) she saying it started about 3/4 days after the handbrake was done so what you guys are saying looks promising. Could a little spring make that much noise though, there’s a fair amount of grinding once on...

No it started about a week after they were adjusted. Are they capable of making all this noise then? If I drive real steady on a road I can pretty much get it to not happen but floor it and it’ll click and snag.

Funny you should say handbrake as it was all done 2 weeks ago, has it been wrong? When I put brake on I can hear a “quiet thud” as brake goes on left side.

hi I’m having issues with my d3. As you pull away you hear kind of like a snagging noise the the car jolts a little every time you hear the noise then it will go, it will return at certain speeds usually when hard acceleration is needed but sometimes a change of speed. Also when using any kind...

I would of said I’ve pulled it hard enough as it was really tight then let go and moved about 2-3 inches, now it won’t move any more. Handbrake still locked on.

Hi, I’m getting use to LANDROVER ownership quickly, 4 weeks in and my handbrake won’t release. It’s making a screeching noise, Ive pulled the emergency cable and it still locked on. It’s stuck on a main road on a Sunday, was only dropping kids off now I can’t move the thing. What can I do to...

Just reading that was hard work enough for me, I’ll just remap it. why would they make it struggle to take off with a bit of weight on the back. Ridiculous

But isn’t the low range crawler gears? Is it practical on the road? any damage to drivetrain?

I think I’ll just have to hold gear a bit longer than what I’m use to. no mate you are spot on with the gearing, I think that’s the issue. You don’t really get going till 3rd but once there it’s brilliant. think I’ll get it remapped, that’ll help. how quick would a manual clutch last , I tow...

I’ve always got on with manuals better, autos are always in the wrong gear in my infinite wisdom I don’t understand I’ve towed with all kinds, my dads Freelander 1 pulls away from a standing start better than this disco, can’t get my head around it.

It’s 2009 so I’d need to get it remapped out after installation? not too worried about mot

I have just bought it a service kit when i went to change air filter the old one looked brand new which is a good sign I guess. I will get a fuel filter for it to go with oil and filter. I’m starting to think it could be egr issues as it’s only pick up it struggles, once it’s moving it’s...

Clutch isn’t slipping mate, it bogs down if anything if I don’t slip the clutch it kind of wants to stall. should it be easy work for it taking off with 2.5 ton on the back?

Hi I’ve recently bought a disco3 and absolutely love it even if being slightly underwhelmed by the towing. I did my first bit of towing last night (a 900kg trailer with a 1600kg car on it so 2500kg) it’s a tdv6 manual, first gear pull aways are not great feels sluggish as hell anything other...
