I have a Dixon Bate Tuckaway Crane for sale. It has been totally restored, shot blasted and powder coated in the notable yellow colour. complete with instruction and installation manual. I had planned to build an RAC Recovery Truck but plans changes and hence for sale. any interest out there, photos can be supplied. Where would be best to advertise or let other know about, thanks.
Hi, I would like to help me with where in UK i can get all the kits needed for converting defender 110 V8 3.5 pick up 1996 model to V8 lexus all these i want to do them in my back yard. I am going to keep its original gearbox. Also maybe if you can let all the members know they might assist from Lloyd in Botswana.
Good morning
I have a 1999 Disco 2 TD5 with a bad power steering leak which has been made worse since adding a well known bottle of additive guaranteed to stop leaks. I have no knowledge of these vehicles so is a new steering box the solution or is a repair kit possible please?
Theres a guy selling a galv. chassis from a 92 county and i wondered if it could be fitted to my 88 110 fitted with a disco 200tdi. Wondered about engine mounts, gearbox crossmember or anything else.
Cheers James
Wondered if you could enlighten me as to where does the battery back up sounder locate in Disco 3 (2007) 2.7tdv6.. Im losing my mind over this alarm.. Cant find the thing..
Thanks Alistair, All I do is switch on ignition and not turn over engine. I wait each time to listen for the noise and then turn off and on again if no noise is present. Apparently low fuel pressure has come up on the fault code. I have a auto electrician taking a look later, am I on the right track? Cheers.
Hi James, I have problem starting my Freelander. I have to wait for a humming noise to stop before starting. A friend said it came from the diesel pump. My mechanic agreed and replaced it. £260 later a pump fitted the problem still exists. I turn the key continuously for 3 to 4 mins before this noise kicks in and then it starts fine first time. Once started it runs fine. Thanks Phil
Hi James, just a quick question going to collect a 19j engine on monday, and its minus the clutch housing , flywheel and starter motor, just wondered if the housing off the two and a quater engine would fit, Regards, Pete
Good evening James, .
I too have an intermittent loss of reverse on my Freelander v6 Sometimes it is okay other times just disappears, It has not been touched for quite sometime, Tomorrow I am taking it to county 4 x 4 to have the gear box oil level checked, if this fails I think it will be a new reverse band. May I ask if you would suggest anything else, Best regards Tony from Macclesfield
Thanks for your words of wisdom, all I have read stated that some software tool was needed to complete the bleed. It all seems okay at the moment, if I do need to adjust the travel on the pedal what’s involved. That way I will know what tool to keep in the truck. All the best Alan.
