A few quick jobs and all is looking well.

Just had the AC people back to replace the condenser that they identified was leaking. £97 for the condenser and two hours labour all and working now. Freezing cold ac.

Also cleaned the MAP sensor and squirted some Wynns EGR cleaning spray into the air intake - as per some of the guides on here on various topics.

Felt there has been some improvements in light acceleration already and off to Cornwall Saturday (early am) so we’ll see how the 4-10hr journey goes.

It’s nice to have cold air back and the specialist capped off the rear section under the passenger front wheel arch as we suspected a leak there.

Wife is keen for me to sell it as she says I don’t need so many cars, but I’m pretty fond of it - although with her 40th due soon I may be inclined to accept £4,500 if someone wanted it. I’d be gutted as I love puddles and mud!

Be handy that ... you'd be able to spend the money on the Disco

In that case if you do sell it, you could always buy yourself a pair of wellies.

Add to the list that I've also cleaned the CD player with one of those disc cleaners you squirt the liquid on, two drops on each brush, and half the bottle on my lap

Does an amazing job and no more skipping tracks or just not playing the cd's.

Amazing what you can achieve just before you go away for a week whilst trying to convince the wife we should keep this and sell hers... 2007 Discovery 3 HSE Lugano Teal
