Title: Self Healing Discovery
Post by: 500bhp on June 16, 2005, 20:51:49

This is weird, since owning my Disco its always crunched going down into 2nd, even with frantic double declutching.
Yet today I changed down and silence, smooth as silk, I thought it may be a flook so I have been changing down to second whenever possible and still silent and slick............should I rename the Disco Spooky or is there another reason ????????? :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

sounds bad to me, probably about to go bang  :shock:

i found my mpg was getting better and better a few weeks back +20mpg  :shock:  then one morning it wouldnt run at all

turned out to be a knackered coil and since fitting a new one i'm back to 17-18mpg  :x

never mind eh

hope you have better luck than me

I have a self sealing Disco too, similar in nature to yours.

The centre spring on the gear stick went.  We lived with it, only occasionally getting reverse when it was actually 1st that was required.  Then it became damn near impossible to get reverse.  I even asked on MC how to fix it.

Then, all of a sudden, everything was back to normal.  Nice centre spring, easy reverse.

If only I could have a self healing "clunk" and self healing rust.   :D

And what, pray tell, is wrong with being called 'Spooky'?? :)

My Charity is the same with lots of things - Gearchanges/Oil leaks/strange noises.

I was convinced that she was doing it deliberately :?  I started to become a Land Rover Hypocondriac (is that right :lol: ).

I just wait until something breaks these days :wink:
