Hello All, In need of help again... I've neglected my landy and now I think I'm going to pay the price. Last week I finally got around to checking the oil (after some time), only to find that it had none (well none showing on the dipstick). Who knows how long it was low for. I have since...

Hello all. I am trying to put some lowered front shock turrets on the disco 1 and to do it I want to just remove the current turret by releasing it from the top of the shock and undoing the four nuts to the chassis. But can I budge the nut on top of the shocks.. can I bollocks! The problem...

Well, my clutch bearing died before christmas so decided that I would get a garage to replace it and put in a new clutch while they were at it. Stay frosty and get someone else to do it? :) The problem is that the next day i noticed that there was a tapping / knocking sound coming from the...

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good Landy friendly MOT station in Bournemouth? Heard of AL Services and Range Motors / Fernside, the later not so good reports.. Why the name change? Anyhow, MOT time looming so any help would be good!! :)

I have but not sure I would use them again or rather these particular ones. They were from Paddocks which are usually good but these units just did not fit properly at all. (Fouled by body to chassis mounts) Anyone found this as well? It took a hammer and lots of bodging to get the buggers...

Hi, I was replacing my heater plugs today. 3 out of 4 were fine but one has the 'element' broken off and so that bit is still stuck in the head. Has anyone got any clever ideas as to get the blooming thing out? Assuming/hoping the broken bit can't make its way into the combustion chamber...

Hi all! I have been searching to see if the I can get a straight through center section and rear section for my 200Tdi disco. Paddocks only list it as a 300Tdi sports exhaust, leaving me with only expensive SS options at Rimmer bros etc. For the money I was gonna give it a go but has anyone...

I know i know. This is well covered. But still can't bring myself to do it! Is there anyone in Bournemouth area that would do it for some beer money? No bodgers please! Worth a try? :)

Hello all. I fitted plus 20mm front and 40mm on back springs on the disco one and now I get an intermittant grinding noise when driving above fifty and only at moderate throttle. Is goes away if I ease off or put my foot down. It's not heavy grinding but can be fairly loud. Any ideas? Thanks...

Hi everybody! Very quick question, I want to get more clearance under my axels on my Disco 1 on standard suspension. Whats the tallest tyres I can get to fit in the wheel arches? I'm going for either 235/245/265 width tyres. Most prob 245. Thanks in advance! :D

Hi! Bought a '93 discovery 1 last week and the more I look at it the more I notice that it's definitely listing to one side (drivers side). It seems more noticeable from the back. The springs have been replaced fairly recently so I am not suspecting them initially. Assuming the rh springs...

Hi! I have an old 19J which I have been throwing money at recently and appears to be struggling on for now. (Heads off for refacing at the mo). But... I know someday, possibly soon it will finally give up or I'll give up on it. So, I know Glenkoyne quote about £1500 to do the lot and...

:mad: Cross Member?? lol! Anyway! :o I have a rusty crossmember, possibly an MOT failure but what do you guys think? See pics attached. I am going to attempt to weld some patches on myself as can't afford to replace it. £500!! Does anyone know what guage of steel to use? I am going to...

Hi All, :welcome2: After my middle box decided to break away from the rear section on Christmas day, my old Landy has been rather throaty and (I think) has gained a little more willingness. Obviously need to fix up the exhaust but I was hoping to get a straight through replacement pipe as...

Hi all, another question. When I finaly get all my bigger Landy issues sorted... :o I fancied getting a lift but can I just put some longer springs on? I am only looking for an extra 2"s nothing obscene! That would seem a really nice cheap way to get a lift. But will it cause any issues...

Does anyone know of any good places to get a head skim in the Bournoumouth/Poole/Ringwood area? Also need to get valve guides replaced. Any ideas gratefully received!! :D

Hi, First ever post, here goes... I have a problem. After changing my brake pads I ended up with this situation; The brake pedal pumped up and then the pressure seemed to fade within about 30seconds leaving me with a limp brake pedal. It will then pump up with one or two cycles on the...
