Forgot to add do anyone perfer 200 or 300 tdi? My 200tdi needs welding as stated above, but the rear box part on the body not chassis need replacing and I seen 1 on e bay but at £130! Can I get 1 cheaper? If so do you know where from please, I would plate it but it already been plated and underside is not there just a pair of body mounts
The 300tdi is not running well it only starts with a bump, and there no power when you press the pedal, From what I have been reading on your forum, it mostly states the fuel lift is at fault. Do you still think that is right? The last owner was told it could be the relay? What do you think to that?
Also there is a wobble on the front wheel I take that is 1, the wheel bearing or 2, it the swivel pin/bearing gone on that, could it be anything else?
sorry for going on,
Regards JJ

Having just read the thread i think we're just going to have to except that new landrovers are going to be less of a bodge it solution and more of a pain in the backside to fix. It'll be less time with the hammer and spanner and more time on a tester or lap top sorting things out. Failing that we'll just keep using the lap top to moan about the things we love, because thing are getting newer and we are getting older. When i can aford it i'll get a d3 and live with the moaning,spanner rash and smashed tea cups when things go wrong. Thing will get cheaper as people start breaking then as well and technology catches up. But what do i know lol

i can't seem to get into the archive to retrive the information. If any one has it it would be great if they could put a link in for me to retrive it, cheers for the help though

Hi
I am wondering if any of you guys, ( & gals) out there could help me in a little/big problem i have.
A week ago, my partner water logged my freelander in a pond of water. Hard to believe, because i am in southern italy, and we are meant to have sunshine all the time. The water level came to above the front bumper, and internally to the level of the seats, and this was whislt driving on tarmac!!!!!!!!!!
What happened was, graham drove around the corner in the dark, and straight into this flooded road that was like a pond. The fl died in the water. Back window came down and the internal lights stayed on. As you can tell it turned into a sitting duck. Luckily we we able to push it out and tow it to our drive.
It has spent the last week with an external heater inside it, it has been vaccumed out.( we took over 100l of water out). We have hairdried all the electrical component we could see, and cover them all with wd40. We have replaced all the spark plugs and have re- charged the battery.
The current state of play is:-
The back window is still down and we are unable to open the back/boot door.
The indicators don't work, internal dash board light comes on but nothing from the indicator lights.
The immobilser light that was currently on all the time, no longer comes on. And the remote locking system doesn't work. Centeral locking doesn't work. But the windows in the front and sunroof do work, along with the Wing mirrors.
The engine doesn't fire up, but turns over and does kind of attempt. But i have just been told, doesn't even attempt that now.
The horn doesn't work.
Could people give me some suggestions as where to go next, i may have a feeling it has something to do with the alarm system/immobiliser system.
We have taken out the abs webco and dried and wd40-ed too.
I need help, as i need it for work.
Thanking you in advance
Gill.
p.s. My only wish is that it was a series 111, and we could have solved it!!!

2001 or 2006,
this toe rag has been ripping us off since before 1960 with the rates of road tax.
Any one noticed that oil per barrel is as cheap as it was 10 years ago.
Done a quick calculation, allowing for tax increases, diesel should really be 60p or less per litre right now at the pump.
Why is it still hiked up.
Guess the middle men are making a killing.
i'm with you there, i think they're taking the pee pee out of us road user's but it's one big cartel if you ask me

I'm fairly sure that your system is the same as fitted to the Rand Rover Classics, if so, there is a thread in the Tech Archive about fault finding and resetting...
It's a case of shorting one pin to earth and letting the ECU perform it's fault process (flashing the ABS light on the dash) until all of the faults are clear.
HTH

cheers will give it a go when i get back to work merry christmas

well everone thank's for the help on my brakes it turned out to be the vacume pump.
However i still have my abs light on now and i don't know where to start? 
Some one has said to me to pull off the connectors on the senser on each wheel and short it out one at a time and see if the light goes out. fist does this sound right and has anyone got a better ideas before I take it to the garage and get hammered like the last time it came on. After all i'll be skint after christmas lol. ps it's a 300tdi disco MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL -
have sorted outthe brakes but still no joy on the pedal i also have cruise control and have tried both the hole but none actuually touch the switches so now back to square on if the pedal is broken how do you tell ??? it all seem to work fine when not connected to the servo and move all the way
cheers for the replys -

i just changed the brake servo on my disco to try and change ny hard braking problems.
however this has not solved the promblem so going to check all the brake cylinders on the wheels. however during changing the servo i've come across my break pedal not reching the stop at the end my question is are break servos different in 300tdi auto with cruise control than a manual and would a 200 tdi servo fit any help appreciated. as at the momment my brake lights stay on also does anyone know of a good place down plymouth way to take a landrover as need abs resetting cheers cooney -

-
i've never bone one on a discovery yet but i use to take the old 110 out in the forces im sure we just put a strap on it and lowered it through the bottom of the vehicle could do it on your own but i'd get a mate i not sure but you could use an engine lift and put it through the door with some good old rope round the gear box you also might have to hold the back of the engine up to stop it tiliting too much but with a bit of bfi anything is possible also bought a cd of ebay for the workshop manual shows how to make an gearbox braket for removal on a trolly if you want it let me know and i'll try and send it to you tenco fob so might take me a few goes

i'm new to this too, first forum probally be picking you brain a lot as my disco is now getting it s ten year overhall and everything seam to be going wrong but hope you enjoy it the missus hate it already

not sure if this is any help being totally a non computer geek but its just another idea while reading boating mags there are a few 12v small pc wondering if you could find a place to stick one of these in the defender and have a seperate screen and mabe a roll up keyboard which you could plug in. ive just looked one up so if you want to have a look the company is www.JGTech.com there must be a few more companies out there so you might find a cheaper one. just an idea cooney

i just spent last friday at fenlander he's on ebay but is in cambridgeshire near march hes a realy nice bloke called chris breaks discoverys and helpfull plus cheap for cash just fitted out the back of my landrover after the dogs chew it to death various bits including a roof lining for only 65 quid so he might have a second hand one
-
my breaks on my discovery are very hard to apply i suspect the servo but it there anything elese i need to check befor i go out and purchase a new one. the symptoms towards the failure was the would work normally and every now and then would decome hard to use now they are just hard to use will fix it myself but hate spending money on things that don't need replacing (i,m a tight bottom) so any advice on what i might have overlooked would be great cheers cooney
