2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Tech Auto Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

Now that I've got a concrete pad to work on, finally got back to working on my Disco 3 after it died back in February!

Got as far as removing the near side set of injectors ready for inspection for damage (removing the head soon). Fortunately, since they were changed in June last year they weren't too stuck and only required a little persuasion to come loose.

Ukraine 2008 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Stornoway GreyDiscovery 3

Winter tyres back on, greased all sliding pins, lubricated and adjusted the EPB.
Left me with a bit of a shopping basket. Two new tyres, down to 3mm on the rears. New sliding pins for the rear brakes, and to top it off: I've got swollen nuts.
Where do people buy solid nuts nowadays?

United Kingdom 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Landmark LE Auto ZanzibarDiscovery 4

Bought a set of black ones from Amazon a few months ago. They are already showing the marks from the air tools at the tyre fitters. They are solid rather than capped so at least I won't sufffer from swollen nuts

However at £30 for the set I can buy 4 for the price of the LR ones and I don't know how resilient the coating is on the genuine ones to say they would last any longer. A visitor from the dark side, my other vehicle is an is still an EV. Strictly speaking its SWMBO.

United Kingdom 2015 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Lux Auto Aintree GreenDiscovery 4

Set up the recently installed parking brake to actually hold the vehicle.

Several months ago, I took out and refurbished the EPB module, including new cables as well as fitted new brake shoes. Cost about £200 or so IIRC, maybe a bit more and a couple of days of cursing inanimate objects. Quotes for a new EPB fitted around the £1k mark. Annoying because it didn't need replacing, but nobody seemed to want to fix it, just replace.

Running out of time for MOT, I paid a mechanic to fit the module but he didn't set the brake shoes up properly, so they did not grip the drum enough to hold the vehicle.

Bodsey's Brake Bible was invaluable. Wheels off, few clicks with a flat blade screwdriver either side til the spring is tight, then back off 8 clicks. Half a turn loose on the 4mm allen bolt, a couple of whacks with a rubber mallet, allen bolt tightened back up. Wheels back on. Works a treat for the first time since buying last Oct!
