Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Replaced low beam H7s. They lasted 4 years, 7 months and 3 days or 62854km.
On auto around the city, but always on out of town. We've done a bit of "out of town" in the last year or so.
Were Philips Xtreme vision +130s. Replaced with 100+.

Not even the slightest.

I was under the vehicle doing the alignment.

Except - Bull****!

No lubricant used, as per photos sent the bolts are dry.

**** has done himself out of any future sales from me or my mates.

I’ve dropped the bolts to our NDT / Metallurgical lab for analysis…. Cannot wait to see the data from the tests.

Irrespective of what the company you purchased these from thinks happened, they should have been falling over themselves to fix it pronto.

That is disgraceful behaviour, and a lawsuit waiting to happen.

That's a really scary issue to have had happen, I just can't get my head around it.

They should be paying hush money!

Reading this thread below and you are not the first to have this issue.

DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - Front lower control arms DIY

See posts from R1DSO and knwatkins.

Plenty of people have fitted these arms and bolts with no issues, but on the rare occasion it seems it does not go to plan, and with no adequate explanation for what went wrong.

This would suggest best to stick with only LR genuine bolts.

Sitting uphill at traffic lights today with my foot firmly on the brakes I started to hear a "bubbling sound". Hrm, could be coolant but probably not.







The MOT records show the recall was done before it left the UK, but I have a strong suspicion the recall wasn't done on the donor vehicle the replacement engine came out of.

Bugger.

Been there - done that (or had it happen to me like you describe)

There is a message on my dash and the fault triangle saying that my parking brake is worn. How do I make it go away? I cleared faults with my gap tool - but its still there!

You service your parking brake

Download Bodsys Brake Bible from Disco3 UK and get onto it before it costs a lot more.

You may just need to service and adjust, you may need pads.
Once apart you’ll know.
