Hi all. I recently came across this issue so rang my insurers to check. Land Rover Discovery 2 with a tow bar and Dixon Bate fitment. Insurer - SAGA. The answer for ME was "it is on the list of things you do not have to notify us about, along with dash cams, mud flaps, protective paint..." So in...

Hi all. I have had and used a single pin Dixon-Bate for ages now, but it was second-hand when I got it, although from a good source, (my son in law). Now I think I should uprate it to a twin pin. Does anyone know if I can buy just the twin pin bit and it'll fit to the single pin mounting plate...

They have been making a funny noise for a while, like a more distinct "click" when starting a sweep from rest. But today they (BOTH) seem to have jumped a cog as they come to rest quite a bit further up the screen than usual and when running the driver's side one clouts the upright edge of the...

Having read the other threads my problem seems to be similar but not the same. The light comes on when I start the car then after driving it a while, not necessarily very far and a couple more stop starts, it goes off. By which I mean I start it, or even just turn the ignition on and it tests...

Posting this here and elsewhere to get maximum exposure. The guy I know is looking at a TDv6 code 276DT they have secondhand. thanks in advance for all experiences Stan

Literally asking for a friend who is looking at a secondhand engine they have on offer, he lives abroad. I have never heard of them. He is interested in the following: a 276DT moteur This one https://www.leboncoin.fr/equipement_auto/2429406540.htm which bizarrely is on a French website "le...

In my Disco 2 the movement sensor/PIR whatever it flipping is is misbehaving. Setting the alarm off if I lock it with the remote. So tried to find a way of disabling it with the above diagnostic. It is possible that I am looking in the wrong subsection of the mkenus but I just cannot seem to...

Hi all, looking for help with a problem that only seems to occur when the engine gets really hot and/or when the weather is hot. Could this simply be that the MAP/IAT needs replacing? The Fault is that as I pull away from a standstill, i.e when lights change or when joining a roundabout, the car...

Looking to replace mine having found one with a split.:rolleyes: And looking on the net some kits seem to contain 4 hoses and some contain 3. Please can anyone enlighten me as to why there is such a difference? As far as I can tell without taking too much off, I only need three. Thanks in...

Need the nearside corner piece of trim that sits just above the rear bumper. And an offside rear light cluster for the door pillar. Both for a MY 2000 Disco 2. I would be very thankful for anyone who has one/both and wants to get rid of it/them. But that being unlikely, mainly I am hoping...

Manual, not electric. So it tilts up but won't go any further and yes I do push the button in. (Wonderin if that is where the problem is, if so.......? To be frank, doesn't feel like it thought the handle is a bit wobbly despite my tightening the screw.) Gets opened fairly regularly and never...

As it says really , I am on my third or 4th attempt to do this before towing a trailer with a car on it 600 odd miles, including some very steep mountain roads. The only thing I have yet to try is filling it really slowly. I lift the expansion tank as I should, the coolant flows out of the bleed...

Hi can anyone tell me what size this should be, what type and the torque to do it up to, please? Mine came without one:rolleyes: and I was in a hurry so put it back the way it was. So obvs it is now weeping! I have no access to RAVE at the moment and Haynes doesn't seem to give the torque...

Hi! Has anyone else had this and could you tell me what gaskets etc I need to effect a cure? I don't think it's the pump or its housing just the connection between the pump and the block, inside the mounting block. all contributions will be gratefully received! Stan

Hi. My coolant leak seems to be coming form the casting that is mounted on the engine. The one that then takes the PS pump and the coolant pump. Has anyone else seen/had this and do you know which gasket(s) I need to reseal it? Thanks in advance. Stan

Hi! As a I am abroad without my drivers handbook, :rolleyes:, altho i have my Haynes which is as much use on this as a chocolate teapot...... Can you please reassure me that the warning light for the autobox oil (ATF) overheating is in fact the red light in the top right hand quadrant showing a...

Hi gang! the noise is a low regular thrum...thrum...thrum. Each noise lasts about 1/2 a second and doesn't seem linked to what gear I am in, (auto anyway) Any ideas please? I suspect CV joint or one of the props U/Js but would like to know if there are any obvious things to check before I start...
