Drove mine after spending a week on course and having the pleasure of having a KIA Picanto as my hire car!................dreadful little thing
Had a look at my dodgy clutch. The fluid is running down the pedal. Guessing it is. New master cylinder? Are they hard to change? Also do ppl think it will be ok to drive so long as I keep the fluid topped up? Kinda need to get to work this evening haha

Nothing, not even looked in the garage to see if it's still there, but I have driven my mates Disco 3 to Knaresborough, it's a bit different to my 90.

Under the bonnet today trying to see what's causing it (RRC) to smoke (White/ grey.. lots of it at tick over). Found a split in the hose from turbo to intercooler. Replaced the hose... cleaned all the pipes and hoses to and from the turbo... no sign of oil from the turbo (seals should be ok). Ran the engine (200 tdi) smoke gone However.... I'd had the header tank cap off whilst I was running it (had been checking the water level)...
When I put it back on the smoke reappeared !!
Released the cap... lots of pressure.... smoke gone.... So it looks like I've got a blown head gasket !!
Shut bonnet.... pull cap off beer... **** happens !!

Should be interesting as the nato hitch needs to be level with a Std defenders Crossmember.

Mmmmm didn't think you were supposed to put drop plates on upside down, can't remember why though, maybe the clue is in the name "drop plate"Got a big drop plate upside down brings it up past the bumper! Can still open the door tho

Technically it's not upside down its higher up! It's still fully braced plus its a commercial so doesn't need to be type approved!

Used mine to tow the wifes car out of our driveway (which is about 25 meters long) so she could go off to work. At one point I looked out of the rear view mirror to see she still had the brakes on and all four wheels were locked up as she was being dragged along the driveway. Her low profile tires are useless in the snow.
