Hello all, was planning on taking my p38 to Croatia this summer. My worry is that the current thermostat that is on it is suited for the temperature in the UK. In Croatia the temperature can creep up to 40 degrees and it is a very hilly country. Is it possible to find a thermostat that suits...

Hi everyone, The fuel distributor pump on my 2.25l 1965 series 2A is in need of a good service. I was thinking about reconditioning it myself as I don't have a few hundred pounds to spend on a reconditioned unit. Does anyone know if kits are available for these pumps?

Hello everyone, I have some play in the steering wheel which I think is coming from the steering column. When I grab the wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock it has movement in it. I don't know if the steering column has bearings, or bushes which might be away. It also make a strange noise while turning...

Hi everyone, My brother is thinking of changing his 01 Freelander for a '96 P38 2.5 (BMW engine). In brief, what would be its most common bad points to look out for? I havea 300Tdi Disco, and I'm forever trying to keep on top of the rust. Is the P38 the same in that sense? He will be going...

Hello everyone, I am looking a bit of advice. The rear end of my 300Tdi is getting to e a bit low. I wouldn't carry much weight in it, half a tank of diesel and maybe 20kg of tools. I know that heavy duty rear springs are available, but I wouldn't want it to be too stiff as it would affect...

Hi everyone! Had a bit of a situation today with my 300Tdi Disco. It didn't want to start, or even turn over, completely dead. All the usual lights came on the dash when the ignition was turned on, but nothing out of the starter. I suspected a faulty starter solenoid, so I replaced it as I...

Hello everyone, I've developed an unusual problem on my '96 300Tdi Discovery. When I turn my steering at low speeds (eg. driving through car parks) the steering wheel feels as if is slipping. It goes: stiff then easy, stiff then easy while turning the steering wheel. When I arrived home, I...

Hello everyone! I seem to be having difficulties finding seat covers for my 300Tdi ES Disco (leather seats). I want to protect them from wear as the drivers seat began developing a small split at the seam. As I work on building sites I also want to protect them from my dirty clothes :D...

Hello everyone :), I've a problem with my ABS on my 300tdi auto ES. The ABS light came on and will not go off. Took it to a Land Rover specialist which wasn't of too much help. Hooked the diagnostics on and it came up with a fault on the front left wheel- air gap too large. So i decided to...

[B][B] Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone could help me. I'm not happy with the steering on my Disco 300Tdi. The front wheels just seem to do their own thing. Whenever i have to brake its a battle to try and keep the Disco straight - it pulls from side to side. I get the impression as...
