    New toy and a couple of problems

    I think you might have something there, the tow bar has some mud packed behind it, as if its been used as a plough. Might need the BFH. The only advisory on the MOT in March was slight play on the lower axle swivel joints. The lift and wheels were fitted after the MOT, so probably exacerbated...

    New toy and a couple of problems

    I'll need to adjust the stops, its hitting the front arms. I got a set of 6 steel wheels with the car and intend to get some less extreme tyres for day to day use. Just need to sort that steering out first. There are a few other jobs, like badly fitted chequer plate stopping the back door...

    Help please !!!!

    I had something similar last night when I unlocked the passenger door first. Assuming it was the immobiliser I locked the drivers door, unlocked the drivers door and then it would start.

    New toy and a couple of problems

    Ebay is a dangerous place. Thought this would just be a case of a new bumper and away we go. However on the 25 mile drive home there was a couple of issues. Tyres catching on full lock and very vague steering (felt like 4in of play). I didn't dare go above 40mph. Half of me is wishing I'd...

    I'm on the lookout for another Discovery

    Regretting selling my Disco last year. Thinking about getting another Disco 1 or 2, something cheap (<£2K). Would prefer another V8, manual, LPG(not essential), little or no rot, mechanically sound and no major off-road mods. Or I was thinking I may go the other way and get a diesel with...

    '96 V8 with LPG

    For the lights search ebay for "10w cree spot", expand the search to world wide and get them from China cheaper. The work lights at the back are mounted on CB aerial gutter mounts. Made a mistake in listing, tax runs out end of May, so a little longer to find a seller before scrapping.

    Mot Happy, not Happy at all

    I don't have the room, but it would end up at the scrap yard in Flookburgh.

    I only have drive space for one car and the TVR is taking that up. Luckily we crashed square on.

    '96 V8 with LPG

    MOT failure, needs to be gone by end of month when the tax runs out. New exhaust and rubber coupling. Two under slung LPG tanks, runs on petrol or LPG. Failed primarily on emissions. Needs front wheel bearing. Welding if you want to tow anything. Garage says noise on the gearbox, but to me...

    Mot Happy, not Happy at all

    The subject was a typo, but if the shoe fits... Discovery just failed its MOT, emissions, wheel bearing, rust. Although I was told if I remove the electrics and tow ball the rust wouldn't be a problem. It wouldn't even pass the emissions on LPG. Don't have money to fix. Can't fix myself...

    Exhaust rear section v8

    Actually, will this fit, its cheaper? STC3717 - Exhaust Tail Pipe Discovery 1 V8 As to the coupling, I can't find a definitive guide on fitting them, but what I've found is its best to get the kit, replace the spigot bearing, check for play in the spigot and replace if necessary. Do I need...

    Exhaust rear section v8

    The exhaust on there has a separate pipe from the mid to back box, but its this pipe and the rear back box thats gone, as in looks like a shot gun hit them and the pipe is now in two pieces. The mid box looks OK apart from where the back pipe fits it, but I'm hoping this is just a little...

    Exhaust rear section v8

    Looks like my prop shat coupling is goosed as well. Are they as simple as they look to replace? Still no wiser as to the exhaust, I'll just buy the cheapest and hope for the best.

    Exhaust rear section v8

    I need a new rear exhaust section for my '96 D1 V8 3.9i, but not sure which I need. Some say '92 & '93 only, some '90 onwards and some up to sept '96. Is there any difference between an exhaust on a '92, a '96 and a '98?
