Holy crap. Opposite of up here! I was sweating my balls off! Must have been 90% humid, but "only" 26C. Prolly doesn't help that I changed jobs - no longer in Public health, where you get to do stuff-all for double the pay... I now work in a...

I took my 1.2:1 Disco box out and fitted a 1.4:1 with the V8 5th gear. The D2 box was awful, made my 300tdi as flat as a pancake in the get up and go department. My mpg was lower too as I was always pressing down with the right foot, any hill...

Because they snap cranks and they snap cranks and if you have been on the receiving end of a snapped crank on two occasions in the same vehicle in short succession, then looking at alternate engines for an otherwise very nice and comfortable...

Yes the M57 is a superior unit, It's been done but I imagine it wouldn't be easy.. But no engine conversion ever is. If you decide to go ahead with it, post the progress ;)

I'm in NZ, but use www.spareto.com although I only buy brands I know from there. I've never had an issue and have probably spent about the equivalent of 5000 UK Pounds for BMW's, VW/Audi, Subaru, Land Rover and some oddball other cars.

Here, On a Disco 1 This is with the wing removed, and the plastic scuttle cover, at the very base of the A pillar Door on the left of the pic, corner of bonnet of the right (green): But that ENTIRE seam on Disco 1's lets water in, once the...

At the base of the windscreen, where the pillar joins the inner wing and scuttle area, there is a hole from manufacture. It *had* sealer in it, but it dries out - just like the ****ty crap the used in the gutters. The whole seam is a leak point...

Did all of these suggestions aside from the roverguage and advancing the timing from where it currently is set. Rovergauge will be in a week or two depending how long the cable takes to reach me. I had already cleaned the hell out of the...

You don't HAVE to use the correct plug - I just got a plug off a VW loom in my junk pile, and soldered it's wires to the pins in the original socket, then wired my Rovergauge to the matching VW plug. I still have both plugs under there, if I...

Get Rovergauge. the car is NOT OBD compliant. The hunting idle, if not related to a vacuum leak or poorly set idle bypass etc, often comes from running rich. If the emmisions are that bad, it probably IS runing rich, but SO MANY people try to...

An auto box should not be able to stall an engine. If the engine stalls when the power steering is in use the it’s an engine issue, or idle setting. IMO. J

Quite coincidental this because I used the manual gear selection in my F2 for the first time this weekend. We went over a pass where plenty of vehicles burn their brakes out by the time they've got to the bottom. I was using it to brake rather...
