Had much the same problem earlier this week. Disconnected the battery, which is good by the way, to do some electrical work on my Disco 3. Had the Suspension, ABS and traction control warning lights on plus the suspension dropped to access heigh and the ABS kicked in on it's own accord as I...

Happy Christmas Bud....Hope things are on the up for you. Thanks so much for the info., as usual you have come up with the goodies yet again !! It's started the day p***ing down with rain here so it looks like a day of inactivity but at least I can use the car if needs be even though there is a...

Thanks for that info.....appreciated :) more so because you could be sleeping your Christmas lunch off !! I have carried out the steps 1, 2, & 3 in the photo's so far, only had a quick look but will later try and locate the two Torx screws which secure the large duct over the blend motor. Given...

Hi Folks....Happy Christmas to everyone The passenger side is blowing cold (Common problem) on my 2008, Disco 3 HSE with Climate control. I have bought a new genuine motor and having a spare hour today decided to strip part of the interior trim out to see if I could access the faulty motor...

The nuts are normal R.H. thread and are very tight around 250 ft.lbs of torque. When I removed mine, I used a Britool 1/2" drive heavy duty torque wrench with a quality (Britool) socket. Three came undone but I couldn't shift the other one, luckily there is a local garage just a few yards from...

Still alive and kicking :D Still trying to get the place in Wales sold so we can move to France Hope you "Old Un's" are keeping well.;);)

Having had EAS baptism on a P38, I found that the main problem appears to be poor delivery from the compressor due to wear on the piston seal, There are service/overhaul kits on Ebay for the compressor and Dryer which are very good and restore it to as new. Did the Disco 3 last year and it's...

UPDATE.... After just over a week of everything working fine, it's started playing up again :eek: Yesterday instead of dipping to the preset setting in Reverse Dip mode it decided to move upwards towards the sky !! Retaught and stored the new setting and later when I selected reverse it lowered...

Hi again Guys...Since owning the car, I have had intermittent niggly problem with the passenger side exterior mirror moving out of position when the ignition was switched on. Sometimes it would move itself upwards to the maximum and other times move down to the maximum :confused:. Retaught the...

Morning Gary.... Put a good dose of Castrol EP2 on the linkage with a brush. Could have used Silicone grease I suppose :) I should imagine Ceramic grease would be ok,... any good grease is better than none at all !! The temperature of the fluid was approx. 34 deg after the run when I rechecked...

Hi Guys...Finally finished the list of jobs today. Replaced the pistons and seals etc. in both front brake calipers and fitted the new L.H. exterior mirror motor to hopefully cure the mirror losing the plot, which I have lived with since buying the car. Have switched the reverse dip function...

As I have a further 10 Lts. of ATF due tomorrow, I pumped another 6 Lts. of clean oil through. Gave the engine a few more revs. and went through reverse and drive a couple of times-with foot on brake of course !!. Finally the black stuff became clear just before it stopped flowing. Drained the...
