    Workshop near me specializes in Disco's?

    Hi All, running out of time and have a couple of niggling things with the Disco (D2a V8)

    Does anyone know a great workshop in the region I can trust with the Disco?
    I am based in Charlton, smack in the middle of Swan Hill and Bendigo (equal distance to both) and Ballarat is not out of the question either!

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Matt, try disconnecting the Alternator lead and see if the power drain goes away?
    Cheers, Mario

    Worane - many thanks will call them

    Mario - Borrowed a second hand alternator and swapped them over (till I can afford the new one from you) and drain has definately slowed right down now takes a full week used to be 24 hours
    so part way fixed, just need to find the rest now

    Matt, Interesting that it now lasts a week maybe the battery is not up to it any more? what's the voltage reading in the morning and what's the reading while you are cranking it?
    Cheers, Mario
