Hi, Long time JLR machosist currently with LR3, Freelander 2, Jag XKR vert and a new shape Evoque (for the wife) on the drive, found a couple of grand lurking unspent, so bought an early Supercharged Sport. I'd have liked an L322 but all the ones I saw (07,08) were absolutely rotten at the rear...

Hi, Back again after a few years away playing with Jaguar XKRs and newer Range Rovers but felt the itch for another L322 Supercharged. Purchased a 2007 model with known faults ( I know, I know..stupid ) but had a great service history and drove really well. I hope someone out there can help me...

Yes it's a bit of a difficult one as I've been using the chap for years and he does an excellent job, so I'm loathe to put pressure on him to stump up for the EGR remap. I was just wondering if there was some other way around the issue. Oh and it's a 2008 2.7 HE with 170k on the clock

Hi, After having the Disco repeatedly throw all the warning lights on and grind to a halt only to restart fine I reluctantly bit the bullet and had a new high pressure fuel pump fitted at a shade under £1000. The car now runs great, really great,it has way more power and is a delight to drive...

Hi, I've a nice tidy 2008 Disco 3 SE which is great to drive but will occasionally just flip out and show every fault it can find, lower the suspension, HDC Fault, Limited gears, engine fault, Limp home the dash is lit up like a Christmas tree. Turn it off and restart and its fine, it likes to...

This is my second D3, my first having 200k miles was still going strong but a commercial model and I needed some rear seats, so with 165k on it and apart from knocking antiroll bar bushes the new car is a lovely drive but the heater is useless. With the engine at working temperature the heat out...

Almost definite height sensor, difficult to ascertain which one without diagnostics. Very interesting diagnostic from JAC LR on the problem. Link attached

ABS Sensor fault. If there is a strange signal brakes will come on at low speed. You can drive through it but will get dashboard warning lights, suspension fault, no DSC, possibly limp home as well. I used to get it all the time when it rained. Sensor got wet and faulted out. If not the sensor...

After running a 4.2 Supercharged Range Rover for 3 years the day has finally come for it to find a new home. With too many cars on the drive and pressure from the kids to be able to park somewhere near the house, we have decided to rationalise the fleet. Sold the S/C to a lovely couple from...

Hi, I've got a problem with my Alfa Brera where one of the air conditioning pipes has been rubbing on the engine cover and worn a little notch in the pipe letting all the air con gas out. A new pipe is over £200 and they are rare second hand. I was a nuclear coded welder back in the 90s and if I...

Yes I'm afraid so. I think I pay £47 per month... Ridiculous really as I pay the same for my 4.2 Supercharged L322.

I was in the same boat, had a 1999 V8 Es Disco 2 which I loved, but eventually had to let go and pined for several years. Determined to get another I bought a 2001 V8 Es and it was great and ran it for 2 years until the fuel costs just became too much so sold it. Missed it again and looked at...

I've been living with a 4.2 Supercharged 2007 Vogue SE and I've had a good few cars in my time but this is by far and away the best vehicle I have ever owned. Super quiet and refined with supercar performance. Had it mildly remapped and getting about 450bhp. Fuel consumption is on a par with my...

Hi Just back from Devon this afternoon and found my LR3 battery to be completely flat. Had a couple of issues with slow starting the beginning of last week so changed the battery for a high power item. This is the 1st time the car has been left without using it every day so suspect a heavy...

Had the same problem on my V8 turned out to be the water pump even though it was only a year or so old. Once stripped out, the water impeller was just spinning on the shaft so was just managing to provide enough flow at tickover to keep the engine coolish but as soon as the vehicle was driven...

Recently purchased a Commercial Discovery 3 2006 and despite it having done 186,000 miles, it goes very well. The manual gearbox is taking some getting used to as I prefer auto, and it's not the slickest gear change I've ever come across but it does the job and I'm pleased with it. My problem is...

Sixteen years ago I was in a pub with a mate who ran a 2 1/2 year old Disco 2 V8 ES and wanted a new BMW X5 and was moaning about the trade in he was being offered on the Disco. So I offered to buy it cash at the trade in figure thinking I'll run it for a month or 2 and sell it and make a few...

Thank you so much for the brake fitting guide, very informative and has given me the hope that cleaning and replacing the shoes might just work. Failing that a trip to Blackburn seems to be on the cards. Thanks again for the info. I'll let you know how I get on. Oh and the car came with a...

Well I've been and gone and bought it and for a high miler it goes very well. Major worry is the handbrake as it is completely furbarred. If you activate it, it make the most god awful noise until the dash light comes on and then you have to use the emergency unlock device. To be fair the seller...
