Re: Disco 3 and me
Possibly slightly* more than the standard package -
two diffs
half & drive shafts, two sets of rears
spare props
oil, water etc
strops, shackles, ropes
minor bits like axe, machette blah blah blah..
oh & a 25Kg calor gas bottle along with cooker, camping gear...

Re: Disco 3 and me
Two potential problems here- seized or sticking actuator on the turbo aaaaanndd a knackered injector.
Injector readings incoming...
Re: Disco 3 and me
So it seems injectors are a bit common at higher mileages. Fair enough.
First port of call is the wastegate actuator rod - seized or partially seized. Some mysterious panel and lube whilst working it backwards and forwards.
I have been training literally my whole life for this...

Re: Disco 3 and me
Update time.
Turbo actuator (for vanes - no wastegate on this one) is seized solid. Which usually means vanes seized. Usually.
Will try oven cleaner method first. Then bite the bullet and take it off - lovely job, not at all tight in there.
Suspension - still in non-active mode. Ordered repair kit (well, will tomorrow) and see how that goes.
Park sensors still beep - right rear faulty. Ebay here I come.
Other then that - done 700 odd miles in it - not missed a beat at all.

Re: Disco 3 and me
Repair kit is for compressor in case you we wondering, or hadn't bothered reading. It's fine. I'm not offended.

Remove dash and cut a hole in the bulkhead for access?
More seriously I'm impressed with your fault finding ability.
