Hi Guys, Iv got a 200tdi discovery thats currently on 190,000 miles. on monday night i was driving her and after about 15 motorway miles i had got onto a 30mph road and was slowwing down to turn off and noticed a rumbling grinding kind of noise and the more i slowwed down the worse it got...

Eh???? Sorry, I dont get what you mean!

Hi, Just wondering if it is possible to fit a TD5 front end (light and grille) onto a 200tdi? If so what do i need to "recover" off the TD5 donor? are the bonnet and wings the same, and can i leave the 200tdi bumper on? cheers

From what people have said i dont think i will bother with the flimsy re inforcers as that is where the rust has started from! Will jus see how strong i think it needs to be when iv got everything all cleaned up!

Ah ha, Thanks guys, think i will just order the boot floor and forget about the re-inforcers for the time being, im sure i can fabricate something up! i think it is the main ones that have rotted through on the top, im gunna have a look to see what i can do to stop it happening again because...

Hi, I pulled my boot carpet back the other day and found a bit of a crusty boot floor. Its not a problem for me doin the floor, jus wonderin how many of the re inforcers there are, i thought there was 3 but there are only 2 on the paddocks website. do i have to buy new ones or can i just use...

Yeah i know all this, i have found a relitivly lightweight unbraked (well it has them but have been disconnected to bring it under the 750 unbraked limit) and i recon that i can get the car and trailer combo to weigh less than 750 as the car has no interior or glass and the engine is hardley...

I am not saying its a bad thing that they are making it so that you have to take another test, but i think it should be more vocational, as in you do a course through the dvla which shows you how to "tow safely" and have a small test at the end to see if you are capable or not rather than just a...

Exactly what i was saying fella, Its so damned annoying it really does get right up my nose! It is not so much being puilled over by the police that bothers me as i am sure that they dont really know the laws on this themselves and i bet its too much hassle for them anyway, by the time they...

Yeah i know, the thing that annoys me is that just because people are slightly older they are allowed to tow and simply because of a timelimit i cannot, this shows that it is not a safety issue otherwise they would have done something about the older licence holders as what stops a 70 year old...

Hi Just had a thought! :cool: What would happen if i were to use a home made trailer that hasnt got a plate showing the weights, then what would happen cos then obviously this would mean that the trailer does not have a M.A.M. Im just desperatly looking for loop holes in the law because if i...

bollox, dont think i can get from coventry to surrey without goin on da motorway! does any1 know actual cost for the test's and how difficult they are? I officially hate the law!!! :mad:

What's so funny??? :confused: Am i being really thick here or something?

Blimey i wasnt expecting this kind of responce! thanks!!!! Right so am i right in saying that i can do this if i take my granfather with me, as he has got a pre 97 licence and stick some l plates on i will be completly legal to tow????? Does this also mean that because i am displaying l...

Hi I am looking at buying a mini as a toy and need to get it collected on a trailer! The question is, can i do this legally? I only passed my test in 2007. i have a 1992 landrover discovery and a mini weighs 700 kg roughly and i am planning on hiring a trailer weighing roughly 400-500 kg...
