Does anyone have a picture of the rear of a thermostat housing please? This is mine but it does not look quite right !!

The old girl has just passed her MOT with a few advisories but none related to tyres, suspension or bushes - however she struggles with the tramlines on the A14 to the point where it gets quite scary. Any ideas where or what I should look at ? Thanks

Handbrake light stays on - checked brake fluid level and all OK. I have also disconnected both switches which I thought would have extinguished the light but it stays on. I can't see anything else which would cause the light to stay on but I am open to suggestions !!

Taking the S1 up the A1 in July on an open trailer - any idea on the best cover to use? Thanks

A couple of days ago I found a thread on a forum which had a link to a site or another page which had exensive details on where to find the month / year of manufacture of most of the major parts of series land rovers (starter, carb, axles etc.). I didn't bookmark it and now can't find it again -...

Does anyone have the pdf section of the workshop manual for the brakes on a Series 1, 1952 ? Plenty of sites with the rest of the data but nothing on brakes. I can't understand how the springs and the adjuster on the backplate work together, my adjusters just go round and round, not attached to...

Are the front and rear wheel hubs on a TD5 the same & interchangable apart from the length of wire for the sensor ? Thanks

Replacing the slave cylinder but a couple of questions before I start: 1/ - Rave states that you withdraw the cylinder from the gearbox along with the push rod. Is this correct or should the push rod stay put? 2/ - Rave also has what I think is an odd way of bleeding the system, pressing and...

MOT booked for early next week and the three amigos have appeared. :mad: Don't have time to solve the issue so was trying to disable the actual dash lights. I have disconnected wires 5 and 10 in connector 233, but that didn't work, I have taken the connector out but that didn't work. Removed...

Seeking inside information - Did LR change the chassis composition during the production of the Discovery Series 2 TD5 / V8 ? A few people I have spoken to have had problems with terminal rust on the later models but I still see a fair number of earlier ones on the road, including mine. I may be...

Any advice on the best way to remove and fit the rear camshaft seal ? Thanks

I downloaded the Series 1 woekshop manual a long time ago but only recently realised that I am missing sections B, F, H, I O and Q. Anyone know where I can download a complete manual? Thanks

Heading for France again - how do you find lanes and tracks that are legal to drive in France? I'll be near Aulnay in August and if anybody knows any good, relatively easy lanes around there I would be grateful. I have read that if it doesn't say the lane is private then you're OK but that...

Seen a few snorkels fitted to Discovery TD5s but I've got a few questions on the practicalities, I have addressed most but interested in others views: 1/ What do you do about the dump valve at the bottom of the air box and the stupid rubber cover / 1 way valve which keeps falling off ? 2/ Have...

What is the purpose of the dump valve at the bottom of the air box on a TD5 apart from potentially letting water in ! The rubber cover keeps falling off and the last time the car was serviced by a garage (several years ago as I have given up with any of them doing a reasonably job) it came back...

I have oil leaking from the rear of the engine, drivers side. I replaced injector seals and washers a few weeks ago and re torqued them last week, there is no sign of any oil leakage from the rocker gasket or the plastic plug at the rear of the engine. Are there any other places oil could be...

Folks - just had car on diagnostics for the ABS lights but also had the following code logged, "135 - Engine speed input signal dubious". Now the whole car is a touch dubious but does anyone know what has caused this error ? Thanks Chris

Folks - got the injectors out ready to fit washers but a few daft questions: 1 - should I worry about carbon build up on the tip ? Not clear how many nozzles / holes there should be on each. 2 - What is meant by "injector lobe is at full lift" ? Is this where the cam lobe is at the top or the...

Tried a search through the various threads but still struggling to understand current problem. Car misfires from idle, struggles to get upto any speed and after a few miles dies. Over the last couple of years I have replaced the pump, air bleed valve, fuel filter, FPR and injector loom. There...

Does anyone know what grade of oil to use in the front and rear diffs on a 1952 Series 1 ? Is it possible to use a synthetic 75W/90R grade as this is the spec for my Discovery TD5 and it would save having two different grades of oil in the shed ! Thanks
