  1. I found this recently. I replaced the steering box and steering pipes so had the rad etc out. As mine wouldn't pass the pipes I took the box out from the top rather than dropping it out from below. Went back in the same way. rdw
  2. I had the same issue starting a few months back. Re-furbished the starter as advised here and it's been fine since and all for about £15 rdw
  3. I used a hairdryer and left the vent plug off, not had a problem since. rdw
  4. Hi marsh, You have quite a few options to choose from - here's my two penneth ! I had a situation where the engine would get up to temperature, then dump the coolant on the floor. It turned out to be the factory clip on the bottom hose had broken in half. This break couldn't be seen as it 'engine side' and I only found it after stripping off the grill etc and leaving it idling on the drive for 30 minutes until everything had expanded enough for the leak to start. Regards rdw
  5. £148 for six months - don't know about a year - never been able to buy one for twelve months !
  6. Griff, The best way I can describe it is that prior to the overheat problem, the fan would come on occasionaly, in say heavy traffic or at the end of a journey, when the car was stationary and the engine was running. It was noticable when it came on as it is quite loud. Now, the fan runs all of the time. I posed the question on here previously and one answer which to my mind seems entirely sensible, was because the ecu had registered an overheat fault, causing the fan to run permanently as a precautionary measure. No luck with the Nanocom. Regards rdw
  7. Hi Everyone, Bit of a cheek this, but the financial crisis is kicking in here ..... I have a 2003 D2 TD5 auto. Last February I had an issue with overheating which I traced back to a broken jubilee clip. Fixed that ok, but the cooling fan stays on constantly. This, I believe is because it has registered an overheat fault code. Now I have the 3 amigos illuminating occassionaly, but becoming more frequent. Is there anyone in the MAIDSTONE, KENT area who has a Nanocom and would be willing to read and reset any fault codes on the Disco for a small fee or beer ? Many thanks for looking rdw.
  8. Thank you ..... Had a really cr :angry2:p day, until I read your answer ! rdw
  9. Hi everyone, Can I swap my D2 18" rims with a set of TD5 Discovery 16" rims ? Regards rdw
  10. Apologies for hijacking your thread - this is an interesting tip, would the same work on a Disco 11 TD5 to induce an earlier lock-up? rdw
  11. Thank you all for the reassurance. I think it was just seeing the bright, clean thread that gave me the shock - as if something had worked its' way out ! rdw

    Thank you for your help. rdw

  14. Thank you for your replies - Zardos, you are absolutely right, apologies, it's a 2003 Discovery 2 ES automatic - what gearbox type I couldn't tell you. JohnL - that sounds a perfectly reasonable, if it is a drain hole, has it always been open or would there have been a plug fitted and it's now missing ? These are probably very dumb questions, but would I have lost any fluids from this ? Thanks for your time rdw
