Discovery

[Im a BusyBee]

Hope someone can help us.....we are going to airport in a couple of hours and a couple of warning lights have come on on our 2000 (w) diesel discovery. We seem to be having spate of bad luck as the car was broken into 2 weeks ago and the manual stolen so we have nothing to refer to. My husband says the reservoir behind the power steering reservoir is low of fluid but he's unsure as to what needs to go in there?

what lights are coming on ?

i think its the traction control and suspension and abs - hubbys took car into town to try to sort out but dont think hes had any luck (nowhere open at this time). he looked in engine and that particular reservoir looked very low

i THINK you need a special fluid for the power steering but as long as it is not really really low it should be ok. do you not have a kind neighbour that knows about cars ? or do you have home recovery breakdown service that you can phone?

Hes just back the landrover dealership gave him a manual of sorts to help him out and also told him of the fluid which he has bought - not sure its anything to do with the warning lights tho. Dont know anyone who knows about landrovers no and my husbands very independant and wont ask for help from anyone but would fall over backwards to offer anyone help! he says hes going to put fluid in and go whether the lights are on or not as shouldnt do any further damage. We are in national breakdown but dont have home cover, have to be a mile away from home. at least we wont be stuck if the worst happens. Another twist to this tale is that we had just been to look at new discovery and had it priced for trade in when the lights came on! Thanx for help

just go for the new one and say nothing about the lights !!! loads of people do that !!

You didnt accidently knock it into 4 wheel drive low or high did you? and made the light come on?.
