Evening folks, Have been offered a 3 litre diesel nice and cheap with 230k on the clock but lots of service history. We’ve only had petrol models and no nothing about these. Are they any good/reliable? TIA ..read more

Hi guys I've just brought my dream car after some one wrote off my BMW. I have a 55 reg 4.and half litre supercharged range rover I believe New battery as other one was dead .I drove it 4 mile home and it started flashing a battery light then all types of lights abs air suspension ect that's all fine I guess. She has flattered the battery now . I'm getting codes for crank shift sensors of the cheap machine you plug in could this be the fault? Do I need a bigger battery . Or is... Read more ..read more

She has gone into limp mode, I have replaced the intercooler hose it looked a right mess with oil but no splits in the hoses, I've also checked the other hose from turbo and that seems okay, so I left guessing the next step. I have a million fault codes that have come up on the gap tool (I'm guessing that a low battery might be the cause of most of them) . My thoughts are to put most of it back together, see if I can get the DPF off , wash it out with drain cleaner and coke cola... Read more ..read more

Hi, I’ve a Disco Td5 that is showing the following issues: Runs well for 20 minutes, temp comes up to half way on the gauge and stays there. Drives well on or off road during this time. Then it slowly creeps up to the red and immediately drops to nothing with the red light on, along with low power from the engine. The heaters are intermittent and then blow cold. I picked it up last week as a trade for something else, so on Sunday I took it around the Stiperstones - this was the first... Read more ..read more

I am trying to tackle a leaky front half shaft/axle seal. I can see all the previous posts about this well known trouble spot. The disco 2 I have had new front seals installed a year or two prior by the previous owner. I disassembled it today and can see the seal looks to be in new condition and I would say it is the exact same item produced at he same factory as the ALLMAKES (made in india) seal I have purchased. Assessing things I am confident I will only be repeating the same flawed... Read more ..read more

Good afternoon all. New member here with a newly purchased 12 year old, white Freelander 2. The car is a pavement princess and judging by the condition i guess the worst its had to endure were carboot sales on playing fields. Never owned a 4x4 before in my 53 years on this planet or had any interest in green laning but hey i'll give most things a go atleast once. Just thought, technically i have owned a 4x4 previously but that was a boosted Calibra turbo in my boy racer days. I must... Read more ..read more

Hi All Advisory on MOT today - all 4 suspension springs corroded. Had a look online and can only find non-sport springs. 55 plate F1 TD4 Sport 5 door. Checked Rimmer Bros but they don't stock them. Anyone know where I can get them ..read more

It's taken over 30 years of Landrover driving to join a group/club/forum but here I am. I first drove a LR in the middle east in '76 and have owned them for many years. I also drove Landrovers off road (jungle, desert and snow) during a military period so I have done a few miles in some fairly dodgy examples! My latest pair are a 2007 Disco 3 and a 2002 Defender Td5 90 hard top. The Disco is 'sweet' and will be given a good leaving alone but the 90 is fairly standard and begging to be...

Looking for some advice please! Just been poking around under the defender & noticed the corrosion on the O/S lower spring seat has sped up rapidly... Was hoping it would hang on till MOT time but the rear half of the seat is quite bendy now. The forward half is a little more secure, and I just stuck a gopro under and too it down the drive & there doesn't seem to be any flex when driving. The axle mount is also on its way out, so I plan on getting that welded & a new lower seat. But my... Read more ..read more

Hi guys, So, I have a 2002 TD4 5 door GS which I got a few weeks back after being screwed over by a local Ford dealer on my faulty new B-Max (not bitter here at all....really...ok a little). Long and short meant I handed it back to the dealers, lost £6K and then found this gorgeous TD4 at the auctions. 104,400 miles, history to 61k, good clean bodywork, undamaged seats and tidy alloys. Not too shabby for £1100 including buyers premium. I dropped her straight to my local Halfraud... Read more ..read more
