Well, this is turning into major works now, so thought I'd share. I had a few jobs to get done before we go up to Scotand for a week. Starting out in Kent, the plan is zigzag up there past all the pretty bits, camp in the peaks, then just over the border, and then on to the Cairngorms, where we...

Had a terrible sounding rattle which I'd put down to bushes, so I pulled my driver's side radius arm on the drive, cut loose one of the bushes, broke another clamp (third one, since trying to get my prop UJs loose) trying to get the second one out. Searched and found that I'll need special tools...

Hello, been a while .. Had some welding done, head gasket, shocks, brakes, whatnot, passed MOT with one advisory item : driver's seat deteriorated. Not bad for an old beater. Anyway, crawling up a cut through on my way home, had a disagreement with a low-hanging tree branch, which turned out to...

Found something a bit odd under my bonnet yesterday .. Missing oil filler cap, with accompanying oil-drenched engine bay (even more than usual), but (here's the weird part) oil level is above max. Either I've got a load of water or something in there (not sure how), or somebody's messing with...

Turned off the A20 about 0630 this morning and went absolutely nowhere. Looked underneath to find smoke pouring off os swivel. Presume knackered cv or stub where I put cv grease in swivel while waiting for seal replacement. Limped into work on locked diff. My idea is to disconnect the front...

I have a 200Tdi with the 3 pipe brake callipers. Just bought an axle off a 300 for the swivels, and it's got a tidy set of callipers on, but they're the single pipe type. Can I fit them, and how? Do I need to do the rear too?

Got a 93 200Tdi Disco with obvious rot issues, and a few questions as I'm preparing to sort it out for MOT, and hopefully for good. Sills : If I cut the bottom off and weld a 3mm bar, will that make sense? Seems more doable than removing the whole sill piece. I've read about a box section...

'93 200Tdi, replaced a faulty flasher this morning, and since, the indicator dash light flashes every few seconds, and when I press/release the brake pedal, turn the heater on/off, etc. . Blinking seems most frequent when idle or under braking. Indicators work normally, but do I really need a...

I'm leaking diesel at the 4 injector overflow, looks like an easy fix but is it a sign of trouble? Also my alternator is rattling around at the top. Best fix it with a new mounting bolt and spacers, right? Cheers

'93 Disco Tdi manual Started up fine this morning, popped in to the supermarket, and now has no starter. Dash lights look normal, clicks, but not a whisper from the starter, and I'm stuck in the car park without so much as a manual, like a complete pillock. Windows didn't work on my way here...

Hello :) Day-old Disco owner here ... Bought the old heap ('93 Tdi) for cheap off a lovely bloke at Rossendale Land Rovers in Lancs : "It is what it is. Normally something like this would be spares or repair, but it's got an MOT, so knock yourself out, and try not to hurt yourself.", or...
