Discovery 4 ?

[Chatty]

flappy paddles

Is that the technical term?

 

[JemJames]

I bet you actually touched the flappy paddles without you realising, that puts it in full manual mode. It also changes the D on the dash to the gear selected change to sport mode with the dial and back to D then it will go back into auto mode

Thanks Matt, I appreciate that. That makes sense, as it's only happened once in 4 months. If I can trouble you with one more question as you seem very knowledgeable in this area and I evidently am not....The car a day after a service, went into limp mode. Our mechanic identified the problem after several days (not a Land Rover dealership) as a Turbo Boost Solenoid Circuit Malfunction. It was recommended I take it to a 4x4 workshop that does Dyno Tuning etc. They have said with the Disco the turbo is central and difficult to access. Due to go West in 2 weeks and so I am hoping it wasn't an indication of a Turbo issue. Any thoughts? Thanks again for you time, Jem

Hahaha, wasn’t sure what to write, poor bloke is being introduced to ‘ it’s a Landrover thing”

Like Chatty said, have a look at a Pajero NW-NX. If you are only towing 2T and touring this is a solid option. Maintenance cost for the Mitsubishi will be much lower than a Disco. You can fit 17 inch rims so it will be easier to get tyres out bush.

I suggest you ignore that advice, and a lot of the anti LR BS you will have to put up with on this forum.
Have a look on AULRO, heaps of people there that know 100 times more than me but don't bother with any "4x4 specialist" , take it to a good LR independent.
From memory a sticky actuator is caused by dirt build up on the primary turbo and easy to fix, join AULRO and ask the brains trust there

@JemJames I would definitely take Matts advice over the advice you were given. He does know them pretty well. And I agree that vehicle-specific forums are much more useful than general 4wd forums like this one to leverage that kind of technical experience.

Thank you. I shall do that.

I was always told that all LR problems could be fixed in the same way as an adsorption fridge that's playing up - turn it upside down on its lid and run it for a while.
