Loads of Landy thefts this weekend. Looks like there is possibly a group going around.

I have a SIP Migmate. I think its a 120. It was given to me so i cant complain too much. It welds fine for a few minuets, but then starts spitting and stacking the welds up with no penetration. I think its had it. Can anyone recommend a mig thats good but not going to break the bank, as money is...

Hi all. About 2 months ago we noticed the FNS tire on the other halves D1 was wearing on the outside only. I first thought it was tracking out, sent her to tire place to get it checked, and they said no all was fine, just a duff tire or going round too many roundabouts(?). Then about a week ago...

Pics of the new freelander 3 i just came across. Before i saw them I thought why bother? Everyone who would buy a new freelander would just get an evoke, no? Then i saw the pics... Why? its just an evoke with a different badge! sorry if they've been poster before.

Never had a clutch go before, so i'm a bit confused. I understand how a clutch works, but not how its gone so weird. I was at traffic lights, pulled away and seemed to loose all power for about 10 seconds, then had intermittent power for 5 min. Stopped at petrol station, and when i left there it...

Some sweet concepts for new tires and wheels from Hankook. Thought they're pretty neat.

Just set light to my landy, and its not even a freelander! Finished doing the oil change, just running the engine to make sure its happy, glanced at the cab to plumes of thick smoke billowing out of it! :eek::eek::eek: Quickly realised it must be an electrical fault as the smoke was coming out...

Ok after a lot of research, i've found out my failing alternator is a Margetti Margelli A127 I think. I dont know if its 65a or 100a, but thats irrelevant. What I want to know is if any one has successfully found a refurbishing kit for one? I'd rather repair than replace, so if a kit exists that...

Hi, I've had issue with my rev counter flicking for a while now. On looking into it, a flicking needle seems to be symptomatic of a loose rev counter wire on the alternator. I had all those wires off and cleaned the connections, and it seemed to fix for a while. I've recently changed the water...

I work in a magical land, where people give me weird and wonderful items all day long. Today I was given a full size zip line. Its not a kids one, the wire is half inch thick, and its about 100 foot long. So naturally I couldn't let it go to waste.... Does any one know anything about zip lines...

Can any one tell me what an alternative part number or name is to this hose, I'm sure I can get it cheaper some where but I don't know what to call it, and the part number on this advert doesn't find much. Cheers for any info!

I'm after a new water pump as mine has started squeaking, and I want to get a new one in before it snaps my aux belt. But I want to avoid Britpart, as I hear nothing but horror stories. But how do I tell? I was hoping to get one off ebay, but no one admits to selling britpart openly, so is there...

The tires guys told my other half her tires were off a transit (or van in general). Not fussed as she just drives on road anyway, but got me wondering. Do Transit wheels fit a disco mk1? Was looking today, and they look about the right size. Anyone know?

Ok so after a lot of effort, and research on here, I've traced my fuel problem to the sender unit on my disco, and it letting air in to the fuel stream. I'm not being tight, but I really can't afford an new sender right now. Does anyone know the usual place they leak from? If I can temporarily...

Hi all, have searched, and all i can find is the size is 8mm. but is that external dia, or internal? its a 300tdi. Cheers all

Just a quick one, does anyone know the part number for the disc that goes on the front of the rear stub axle? Just fixing a leak, and the disc/shield thing is rusted through. I'm not talking about the brake disc shield, i'm after the one that is bolted directly to the front of the stub axle. Its...

Just fitting the new springs and shocks to the front of the disco. Got new shocks by armstrong. But on looking at them, one of them has much greater resistance than the other. Is this normal? Will it stiffen with time, or just be useless? Cheers all.

Hi all, I'm really struggling with removing the caliper bolts on my disco mk1. I tried with a 13mm bi hex but they're so worn, it just slipped. Tried with a 12mm bi hex hitting it on, but no joy. Also tried carefully heating the caliper, but still stuck fast. I'm really stumped, any sudgestions...

Just finished doing the front swivel joint and brakes on my other half's disco, and after blooming hours putting it all back together, I found this on the side. Do'h! It looks like some sort of spacer, but is it necessary? I've already taken the car for a test run, and it drives lovely now, I...

Well after a year of work, most of it with in the last 2 weeks, since the council told me to move it or loose it, the disco is ready.... MOT is in a few minuets. :eek::eek::eek: Not too worried - MUCH! OH well time to go. I'll let yall know if I can be joining you on the road soon! *whimpers*...
