Cheers!

Hey all, My Discovery 1(300) just passed its MOT, but had advisories for a drag link and track rod ball joint (slight play). Might as well change them before winter sets in I reckon! Can someone please confirm or not, that I'll need 3xRH and 1xLH joints? Thanking you muchly......

Part No.: MWC6702

Rimmers only list one option for a bonnet rather than by chassis number so I reckon they're all the same. LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 1 BONNET BLACK | eBay

Thought I just said that!:p

Putting a little petrol in a diesel is something that used to be done long ago to stop the diesel waxing in winter.This doesn't happen with modern fuel.Diesel engines rely on the fuel to lubricate the system,while petrol effectively does the opposite,meaning possible trouble for pipes and seals...

I'm in Filton,and have plenty of draper expert tools and bacon sandwiches...

It was in Brislington,he was excellent,got a health check done,which was the best £85 I've spent in ages.So thorough and talked us through each point letting us know what was important and what just to watch.I can't fault the service and advice,but at the end of the day,the Disco is just a...

Not far off james,£800 oh and sorry,in Bristol,not the cheapest city in this green and pleasant land!

It was an indy,maybe have to look elsewhere......points to anyone who can guess how much they wanted to replace the front swivels...

Thanks for the input guys,I was quoted £350 for the job,including parts and VAT.The parts are £50 more or less,I guess thats about 4 hours labour give or take.Do you think this is reasonable?

Need a few things doing to the Discovery,and been give a quite scary quote by a specialist.Read Busters impressive how to's but not ready to give them a go myself yet.I really just wanted some opinions on how long the job should take? The main one is to fit a mintex brake kit discs,pads,hub...

Not sure if it was genuine,if so it was 16 years old,and maybe shagged anyway.Either way its lightened my pocket of £66 for a new one from Paddock(which I presume is not genuine)as I was quoted £160 for genuine!

Been having the odd issue with the V8 taking a while to return to idle when stopping,so decided to clean the stepper motor.Whipped it off,blasted it with carb cleaner,spot of GT85,new washer and refit.Hand tightened,and then set the torque wrench to 20Nm as prescribed by Land Rover.First feel of...

I've just used Hammerite Underbody Seal to do my Discovery today,a bit messy,but its thick so doesn't drip although brushes on very easily.It doesn't dry 'hard',stays flexible and looks pretty tidy too!
