The Special Track's will be better than Cooper STT Pro in bad mud. The Coopers will be much better on road as they're "original" tyres rather than remoulds - which almost always have balance difficulties as the tread is so deep (some of my Special Track's have 4 layers of stick-on weights to get...

33s will give you the same under axle clearance as most Defenders, so might help, dependant on where you off-road. You mentioned using Insa Turbo tyres - but that's just a brand name of a company that make a significant range of tyres with varying compromises for off-road use. The typical...

Why spend money, when you've got a fully working system that is great for everything ?

Most Land Rovers have numerous entry points for water if you're wading. Using a raised air intake successfully to protect the engine must involve checking all joints / seals back to the air filter & typically also checking how the bottom of the air filter box allows excess water out. Often there...

+ 1 on Tayna, They've always got a good range of makes / guarantees to fit different budgets. I've always gone for options with 5 year warranties & always had the battery outlive that by many years. Always get the biggest that will fit the battery tray by checking the actual dimensions, never...

Have you checked the tracking? Excess toe out can create a very twitchy feeling / too responsive

It might be an obvious suggestion, but have you read the owners manual & also checked the relevant fuse?

Add a photo of the box and more importantly the wiring connector (s). Maybe then people will recognise it & what it does.There are various options for add-on boxes.

Can you could add a photo or service manual drawing of the parts where you have a problem to help us understand?

The reversing camera on Mk3 / L322 Range Rovers is a very common failure too. On those, most people replace with an ebay supplied NTSC camera as the genuine item is stupidly expensive (more than £300 !). The ebay items appear to have similar picture quality and only costs £10 to £15. Some...

I've never seen any drawings on-line - I can't imagine anyone sharing them if they've gone to the trouble of measuring up as it's not worth the effort unless your're going to make & sell them commercially. There's various companies making replacement damper turrets - often cheaper than second...

I had that code on mine when the EML came on. The EGR was moving fine due to the ECU signal after I removed it to check (pipework blanked off, but electrical connector connected to the EGR and the engine started). However, the signal from the position sensor didn't match what the Engine ECU...

I've used 1 of the tyre pressure based pressure bleeders in the past. It worked well, but the biggest challenge was fixing the dummy reservoir caps to the reservoirs - especially some of the more exotic bayonet fittings. Clamping right round the mastercylinder worked, but was sometimes a bit...

With the EGR potential failure modes including valve heads breaking up & disappearing into the turbo or cylinders (if the EGR is not blanked off), I'd be very wary of the quality of any non genuine / OE parts.

I've no longer got a compressor, just the mounting bracket. However, I've got a 2 inch high V shape in the bracket from offroading - obviously something that was an odd shape when sliding over with the chassis rails

An EGR fault on a TDv8 doesn't have to effect the engine performance to trigger the EML.

Beware that even physically interchangeable servos can have significantly different internal specification & could make the brake pedal feel very different (better OR worse). I think the only way you'll find out if another model's servo is useable is if you can get hold of the relevant online...

You'll find a few write-ups on here or d2boysclub.co.uk if you searchwhere members have done the same successfully, but sometimes with a few problems along the way. You may want to change the title of this post too !

It could be the plastic bush that locates the ball at the end of the gearstick in the selector rail. It's a relatively common failure on high mileage cars. When it gets worse you can might not be able to select any gears, The possible alternative is the gear selector plate being worn / loose...

I'm not familiar with the setup in a Disco4, but in a Mk3 RR that's often caused by bad aerial coonection to the satnav unit in the boot or duff aerial.
