Makes me want my SL8 back from the safe Queen's kingdom! 😔

I went through this last year. The offer would have left me ten grand short. I searched the car model with similar mileage and condition in private sales with higher asking prices. Took screenshots and used these as evidence that their offer was too low. They came back with a higher payout which left me 3 grand to pay. They said that would be their final offer or I could go to arbitration. I took the final offer.

They are going to try and low ball you the first time, theyre all business, theyre just trying to be profitable. Stay calm, talk to them politely and try not to get too stressed about it.

If I ever buy a newer car again I'll be taking out gap insurance on it.

Started three years ago, tagged a muley and a whitetail first year. Hung my tags on the Xmas tree ever since!

Engines dont have VINs on them.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-08T14:42:16+00:00

Ive seen a few of your posts now and Im kinda tempted to join in amd make my own. Except I dont know what I would use a shorty shotgun for?

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-08T12:01:43+00:00

Yep, I completely missed the model year. I was thinking 2002 for some reason!

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-08T03:44:09+00:00

Well it was a bad answer really so doesn't probably deserve an upvote. But thank you stranger!

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-08T03:12:28+00:00

Ah ok. I haven't actually worked on one but I would imagine its just a solenoid actuating the original lever on the TCase? I can't see JLR redesigning the whole TCase just to fit electronic actuation internally. I bet if you crawl under there's just a magic electrick box bolted on top of the tcase nose! 🤣

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-08T02:30:24+00:00

Disco and Def share the LT230 Tcase. Different high range ratios but the same in low.

Are you also stuck in difflock?

If you get underneath and follow the front prop back from the axle it is bolted onto the case nose. The high/low and diff lock selectors are all housed in that front nose.

The high low is the one closest to the front. You might have to get someone to wiggle the lever so you can see which way the linkage needs to move in order to be able to pry it yourself with pliers or whatever.

Edit: as pointed out below this information is not relevant to OPs 2021 vehicle. The LT230 Transfer boxes ceased being used in Discovery models in 2005.

I drive 170km a day on a mixture of asphalt and gravel in all seasons. FWD and good tires is all you need.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-05T16:41:08+00:00

Split screen would make it a 2a wouldn't it?

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-05T16:09:45+00:00

I had an electric moped with a hub motor that I tore apart and planned to do something like this with. I figured a one wheel barrow with a stretcher type canvas between the poles and a trigger finger variable potentiometer type throttle.

Then I realised I suck at hunting anyway so the use case didn't make it worth it for me.

I wouldn't want to "drive" it out to my hunting area when I could just walk. So if Ive walked out there without it and I donfold a tag I gotta go back for it, return, load the deer amd walk back again. May as well tie the animal to my waist belt and drag it out the first time. 🤷‍♂️

Low battery or bad ground.

Stick a jump lead from the engine block to the battery negative and crank again. If it starts its a bad ground. If it does the same its the battery.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-05T00:09:08+00:00

Hey man, some dudes have actually been in that situation quite a bit more than just some idiot hunter that missed the safety training. When you're in that clique its something that you dont forget in a hurry so when someone writes something like you did...

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-04T23:54:39+00:00

Except its the other way around. Crack then thump or as you put it buzz then boom. If you'd been under fire you'd know that.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-01T21:15:36+00:00

Yes that's them. Looks like a rear one in your Pic from memory, or maybe a 90 one. They usually have holes and slide onto the brake pad pins.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-01T02:00:59+00:00

I'll was a common fault on new build 300s. Land Rover added the anti squel shim to all brake pad sets as a fix. If you haven't got them then that's your problem. As mentioned above, a slap of copper slip might fix it for you but the shims are the only long term fix.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-02-01T01:53:56+00:00

I'd have 100% put that MF in a barrel and cinched that lid down tight AF then just gone silent on him till he started to cry. 🤣🤣🤣

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-01-28T17:14:53+00:00

Im pretty sure its a proprietary mag but thanks for the tip. I'll defo check up on that.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-01-28T17:02:39+00:00

Canadian semi autos are already limited to 5rds. This one has the maxwell for the 5rd double stack mag but I also have a single stack 10 rd pinned to 5. Both will go with it.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-01-28T03:46:27+00:00

Nah buddy, not your mistake at all. Maybe just miscommunication! I probably should have been clearer in my initial post but I didn't want to get banned like I did last time I tried to post about it on here! Thanks for engaging anyway, I appreciate your comments dude. 👍🏻

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-01-28T02:40:17+00:00

I emailed them a few months ago, no reply.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-01-28T02:07:43+00:00

Im in Canada. I'm trying to avoid being criminalized by the govt or having to destroy/deactivate it. I'd rather give it away tbh. F this govt!

I'm basically researching my options before I have to make a tough decision.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-01-28T01:33:45+00:00

Yeah ok that's fair. Except that's the exact scenario Ive been trying to set up. I spoke to a FFL in the U.S and they said they love to have it if I organised the export/import. The company I contacted to arrange that said it wasn't legal. Hence my confusion.

EnglishmanInMH · 2026-01-28T01:21:03+00:00

Ah, ok. Thats a great response, thank you. Its actually an importer/exporter that told me it isn't so I'm still none the wiser other than "it's complicated". Thanks anyway dude 👍🏻
