Hi All,

The car is 8 years old, done 65,000 miles.

I guess I need to replace the timing belt.

Couple of questions:

It's the tdv6, does it only have one belt?

On previous cars I've always bought timing belt and water pump kits, is it a different setup on the disco 5, I can only see kits with one belt, 3 pulleys, no replacement bolts or water pump, which I had expected?

What brand belt is...

Hi Everyone, Newbie alert
just acquired 2018 commercial, all good but the tow bar release key is missing, and the Tow bar is deployed, how can I remove to stow away, local independent said to simply remove pin, twist and pull the knob and hey presto!

What pin?

I imagine the tow bar has been in a while and as such some corrosion will have taken place, expect this won't be easy but any suggestions?

Many thanks

Tip and Tricks • Automatic door locking?

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to lock the doors from the outside when the car is stationary but occupied.

The wife sometimes borrows it in the evening and I'm concerned some clever sod will open the passenger door when she stops at the lights.

I've seen the option to lock the door at different speeds, don't know if that will solve the traffic light stop security, or if there's a better way?
