Hi guys, I've got a very nice disco 1. I use it to go up to london a couple of times a week from sussex. I've noticed that the steering requires a lot of concentration to keep it centralised. This only seems to happen at speed on the motorway when I feel like I'm getting pushed and...

Evening guys, Had a bad day.... My m reg disco 1 overheated on the a27. After inspection by a reputable 4x4 specialist in peacehaven, it was inspected and found to be a head gasket. The cars done 120k (300tdi) looks tidy enough and I've ploughed money into her ( cam belt, couple of...

Hey blokes, Had the old girl in for a service and it ended up that the immobilizer started working and I couldn't get it to stop as the key fob is fooked. After investigation, it seems that rather than both the fuel pump and started motor being cut by the immobiliser, it's just the starter...

I'm sorry, but if I'm to believe what I've read in Land Rover Montly on page 26, the Dave Phillips column, who has said that he has it on great authority that the defender will lock stock and barrel be produced in India after 2015 (I'm not a marketing executive or in any way connected to LRM...

Hi again gents, Further to a post that I put up asking about people's experiences of reliability, Overwhelmingly people's experiences are very positive. The key points that are mentioned over and over again are keep on top of maintenance! What do you regularly do? There must be...

Evening gents, I recently got my first disco-a m reg 1995, that seems to be a good one. Well maintained and with 114 on the clock. I'm just moving from London to brighton and will be working in London. My thoughts are- do you think that with a vehicle of this age, doing a few hundred...

Hi guys, Roof rack for disco 1 (or a defender 90 will also fit) I'm in London. Cheers for now, Mark

Hi blokes, Your hints and tips please for a DIY er attempting to preserve for posterity my coniston green 95 old lady who's got a few spots of rust round and about. Got a tin of waxoyl and the spray version and a wire brush. 1) prepping: Just wipe and wire brush? 2) paint on the...

Evening all, I've just bought a 1995 m reg disco. So far, so good two weeks in. A great drive with alot of boot space. The point of the thread is that I'm unsure whether to heavily invest in it or not..... I'm not very mechanically minded and should I be pouring money into it as its...

Hi all, I've just bought a 300tdi, and want to make her private in the back as I occasionally will be carrying tools in her. They sell pre cut window shade kits on flea bay- disco 1 aren't for sale anymore but disco 2 are. Does anyone know if the windows are all the same? Cheers

Be suprised if I get any responses to this one :) As title says, can get it to fit. Has anybody overcome this? I got a 95 300tdi. Cheers boys

Hey guys, A little old lady didn't wear her glasses driving, and my landy has her door off. I've tried to upload the pics, and they are on this post, somewhere???? Any body know of a reasonable priced company that could put it back on around south west London? Cheers amigos

Hey guys, Nagging mrs, clutch issue and a long trip ahead have forced me to say goodbye to my 3 door td4. I've seen a 5 door 2005 freelander. The guy is prepared to do a good deal for me on mine. Am I correct in thinking the head gasket issues had been resolved on the 2005 freelander s...

Hey buddy's, I bought these air thingys to go inside my springs. I have differing accounts as to how successful they will be. What would you use for an oversize drop side body that hauls logs around? Also on another note, seems to be a lot of play in my steering, do you think that...

Another article seems to have surfaced regarding the end of Defender production. Always cited is the current eu safety regulations blah blah blah. If we pull out, we will save our beloved Defender? Am I right?

Evening gents, Took the old girl for an MOT and had a couple issues to rectify. Paul who owns a local reputable garage got onto land rover to order parts, but the guys there say that the VIN given identifys it may have been military and they can't tell from it what steering box ill need...

Being of the side of the aesthetic rather than mechanical appeal of landys, I need advice. My freelancer has a two things to sort out- 1) clutch issue. Cannot get her into gear unless a pump the clutch and push HARD. Been told this is a master/slave cylinder.....what do you think? If...

Hello gents, Being a numbnut when it comes to matters spanner orientated, I humbly beg for your gents advice with converting my drop side 110 truck to a tipper. For a start, the truck has a non standard body on it (please see a previous post of mine: "rare beast " to see pictures of it)...
