Now you know what I have had to put up with for the past 11 years of Dsco 1 ownership - have worked through most of them though.

3 things - the lacquer on the engine was put on when the carwas built - it is actually a waxoil compound - my handbook actually states that when the engine is steam cleaned the the waxoil compound should be reapplied. The problem is getting it off - when my car was new I went onto the beach and the sand stuck to the goo - the sand is sill there!!

The steering wheel only makes the noise in winter - it goes away in summer and comes back the following year - guess I got used to it but my passengers always seem to comment that my car seems to be haunted.

Oh- when the central locking burns out - all the motors will go at once - the $39 kits from disk smiths with a extra motor bought from Jaycar (for the back door) works a treat - it is better than paying about $300 a motor from Landrover.

Also the little motor gismo that drives the flap to change from fresh air to recirc - can be rebuilt even though it is a sealed unit, and if your ignition module is still in the side of he distributor move it like the later models have because it will cook

Just trying to help

I got lucky cause my disco was one of the first after the move to bosch, no problems yet, other than the park brake light flicking on and off. You will get it sorted steve, you would get bored owning another brand. Matt

it was Dealer sold, but as is....

Get bored with another make......... Never...

Still got 2 Volvo's and 1 Austin......

Factory Car kit for phone..... Gone. Ripped it out... Now i have room under the dash...

sounds familiar--

Steering wheel ..... Ahhhhhhhh it has a rubber to rubber noise... when you turn the wheel it makes a Wookie Noise.... i did not know Disco's were in Star wars... i'll have to pull the cowl to see what it is...

sounds familiar--

Dealers have worked out that laquering the engine is a good thing.... Turds... now i have to clean it off. and they sprayed all this oil stuff on the black bits, bumpers ect. so i've been busy wiping it off. Grrrrrrrr

sounds familiar--

Ohh and the rear Squirty broke, so i need to get another....

sounds familiar--
