I think its located properly in the back of the wheel, I did turn the coupler tho, without pushing the little tab in :( Cant remember how it was, :( Wonder if ive fluffed it ? Oh well could always get another one, im sure there not too much from a breakers,

is it the door lock sticking causing the door not to open ? If so unlock car, leave it unlocked, door will then open, = Mot pass ! :) Is your steering box leaking ? Rust inner arches, sills, boot floor ? I think your little list might be the least of your worries on a disco :) lol !

1998 Disco 1 V8 3.9 auto Just took my steering wheel off to centre it, There was a plastic ring behind it, that the wires come through, I disturbed this, (turned it) I put the wheel back on, now it clicks when i turn the wheel, Have i fooked it ? or can you reset it somehow ?

Auto is much nicer and easier, especially for laning, Rust - check inner wings, sills, boot floor, rear crossmember, inside rear arch, Also check gearbox, and hi low and diff lock, plus the usual car buying things !

Handbrake holds car ok, so hoping not to have to take off prop, got a few bits to do for mot, Just have to pull the lever too far up, Any idea which way you turn bolt on back to tighten handbrake ? I could just try it both ways, lol ! Thanks for guide busterbus, brilliant how - to's !

Need to adjust my hardbrake, lever comes up too high, Ive got a disco v8 auto 98, I removed the window switches, there is a wheel ontop of the handbrake cable, it turns but is very stiff, does this adjust the cable ? If so which way do you turn it to tighten the cable ?
