It would mean either paying someone to fit it (and who knows what else will turn up) or having the car off the road for ages as I don't have time to do it myself. Neither is an attractive proposition. The Discovery has served me well for 10 years and 70,000 miles so although I had every...

Cracked head so not worth repairing. Now looking for a freelander 2.........

Green. I've had a series of faults recently culminating in having to have it lifted to Astwood. Hopefully will be sorted this week!

I hope Rob finishes my D2 before starting on yours!

I think as Fery suggested that tool is giving you false information.

Yes, the filter housings can develop cracks / pinholes which allow leakage. Had to have mine changed recently.

And I believe that one is much harder to get at than the front.....

I too have been successful in recovering over £10,000 in the small claims court from a shyster company. However, it is by no means easy and will give you sleepless nights. The problem it seems to me is that you will have 2 (or maybe even 3) companies all blaming the others and with no physical...

Flooring the throttle when trying to start is the standard air purging procedure.

It is an easy job to change the front seal.

172,000 - 2001 Td5 auto. Running as sweet as a nut - just done a 600 mile round trip to near Edinburgh from Brum.

Autos tow perfectly well. The only slight issue is that on long uphill motorway sections etc at 50-ish mph it can "hunt" between 3rd and 4th. You can get round this by either selecting 3rd or (sometimes) going into Sport mode. I have been using my auto for 10 years and wouldn't go back to...

That just looks like the 12N connections. You need a permanent live, ignition switched live, and 2 earths for the 12S fridge / battery charging (dependent on the year of the caravan). I ran 2 heavy duty wires along the chassis from the engine compartment, secured with cable ties. I have seen...

Thanks for that. I liked the section showing ACE working while they towed a Defender.

Why not use the D2? It's not going to melt. I've been using mine as a daily driver for 10 years now and have no intention to change (except of course when I use the bikes!) Having said that, as mentioned the D2 is a big beast and sometimes hard to find an appropriate parking spot.

Wobble extensions aren't the strongest things... When I started servicing my D1 after having it done regularly by a local "expert" it took both feet on a 2 foot extension to get the sump plug undone. Fortunately the threads were OK. Why they can't use the torque figures - or even common sense -...

That insert shown in the first pic looks a bit proud to me. Is it allowing the manifold to sit against the head? Good job though.

Well it does sound as if it works for him......

It's hard to think how that could affect the pedal height.....

Sounds like brake fade to me. Is it like this as soon as you get in or after driving for a while?
