Experience
Experience Owner of a Discovery. I've had many mishaps with our Disco but I still like this vehicle. Talk to a fellow LR owner instead of a dealership rep. I'm not in this for the money. I'm just an owner who wants to help others.
Question i have a 95 Disco, i had the starter replaced and the shop took the heat sheild off and did not tell me. Do i need this sheild?
Thanks
Answer Hi Rowland,
its there to protect the shield from the intense heat. It can also deflect grit and fluid (to some extent). On my '95 Disco, the shield must have been loose and it cracked. I replaced it and suggest you do likewise.
While you're down there, clean the main lead with electronic contact cleaner - you'd be amazed how filthy that wire can get.
