Whatever they cost new I don't know, but that was expensive transport for somebody.

My Disco 2 cost the original owner £34,920, so it had depreciated by over £34,000 in just 140,000 milesfried onions wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 2:15 pm Whatever they cost new I don't know, but that was expensive transport for somebody.

Re: Disco 3 and me
Hmm.
It's fixed. Abs, Hdc etc.
Centre electric reset. Both rear abs sensors no signal, Speedo INOP etc etc- the same multi plug under NSF arch....hmm.
Only thing I can't check is hill start, think it's been optioned out. Brake test incoming.

Multiplug under an arch, it's almost as if the designers had no concept of the purpose of an off road vehicle!

Re: Disco 3 and me
I was told they parked on submerged to its waistline in a pool of water for 24 hours to ensure it was all water tight as part of the final development.
Re: Disco 3 and me
I suspect ham-fisted repair attempts previously.
Well, not suspect.
So, remember the compressor? It works, but slightly out of spec. So active modes are inop. And there is a engine running concern under load- poss pipe or actuator. You can drive around it. Of a little more concern is injector 3 -volume issues. Oooer.

Re: Disco 3 and me
Is this the model where the whole car was practically built around the engine so it's a body off job for a lot of bits? Good work so far
