Yep, usually 'quiet' except when you press the clutch . . . if, when stationary, at idle, just rest the weight of your foot on the peddle, and take it off again, and you'll more than likely hear (or even feel through thin soled shoes) the bearing noise !!

Unless (as on my Disco) you have Traction Control, then diif lock not needed :D AND . . . if ANYONE wants to challenge that a diff lock is better than ETC, all I can say is 'see you on Salisbury Plain' :D :D For the sake of wrapping this thread up, I actually DO fully understand how a...

I would def check E4 earth terminal, all it says is it's 'above the pedals' . . . The other trick you could try, is to run a temp earth (just a length of wire type jobby) from the back of the cluster to the chassis and see if it solves anything . . I know wiring is a real nightmare, I...

Oooo it's much more complex than that .... It has some 33 connections (grouped in at least 2 large multi plugs) feeding in from just about everything in th car . . inc the BCU, ECU, EMC, so its a mine field. Acording to Dr Haynes, it's powered 'mostly' from F27 & F35 (both 10A) in the...

My release bearing has been 'rumbling' in fact I can feel it through my foot a little bit, and it been doing it getting no better, NO worse for at least the last 20k miles But I mostly do long M way type trips, so don't use the clutch that much, but make sure I don't rest my foot on the...

Generally Discos 'appear' to be higher at the rear than the front, partly due to the higher roof at the rear, but also because the rear is actually slightly higher anyway, although I'm not sure if the springs are actually a different length !! I'd try contacting the supplier and ask if the...

"The force APPLIED TO THE GROUND by each wheel will always be equal" COMPLETLY INCORRECT, It ONLY applies when there is EQUAL traction available to BOTH wheels This is WHY I say that:- Torque applied to a wheel DOES NOT equal FORCE APPLIED TO THE GROUND, (Force = 'TRACTION') There...

If you have enterd a 'wrong code' at any time, the unit will 'freeze' for a time delay, which gets progressively longer each time you enter an incorrect code Acording to the manual (but depends on which radio model) the 1st wrong entry incurrs a 1 min delay, the 2nd wrong entry it doubles to...

Isn't it about 14psi in standard from, and will be at full boost at around 2000 rpm ???

Or a big heap of nicely dried MANURE I could just hear the call to the 999 operator "hello, one of your speed camers is on fire, on the A&% dualcarrigeway" "no sh*t, ok, I'll get the brigade on their way"

Why thanks for the compliment, being refered to as 'kid' was quite charming . . . (as I'm 50 this year :eek:) This is what Wikipedia has to say on the subject, funny that it says that when ONE wheel is spinning, ALL the drive will be lost through that wheel :D "Hypothetically, suppose that...

All the yanks use V8's (power and sound gorgeous) but they get almost free fuel over the pond !!

That's really weird, since new mine has made a noise akin to that made by a old type mechanical speedo - but it's fully electronic (as far as I know)

Yep . . recently fitted spots to the front, which involved fitting the aux 'wiring kit' had to remove the binnacle to get access to pass the wiring up to the new switch etc, re fitted, started up - nothing, no rev counter or fuel guage etc Took apart again, and I had not quite pushed the main...

I suppose if you get 'caught' in the immediate vicinity of a gatso with a 'spare' tyre etc, you would have to convince the plod that you was 'just changing me puncture . . . . officer !!

Yep . . so the badge on the back would say . . . THE BEST 1,7584X0.2416 X 1,7584X0.2416 X FAR :D :D :D :D :D (Bet you all will argue what it should ADD UP TO now :cool: :cool: )

Well . . I know what I mean't and you can all argue as much as you like, but if a 4x4 was PERMANENT four wheel drive, then ALL FOUR wheels would turn with EQUAL force irrespective of the grip avaiable to each wheel (in a 4wd with all 3 diffs LOCKED, then yep that's exactly what you have got ...

What I said is NOT BOLLOCKS as you so kindly put it, what you have said is EXACTLY what I was saying, if ONE wheel is spinning, and you are not moving (2 wheel drive for example) then it is EFFECTIVELY A ONE WHEEL DRIVE (or NOT drive more acurately) So in a Landy, if to are diagonal across say...

I ran a 80/20 mix oil/deeezil for ages with NO ill effects, but shyed away when there was an article in the news about some bloke getting done by those luverly chaps in the chancellors cash collection brigade cos the certain supermarket who smack their back pockets . . shopped him cos he bought...

fairly sure they run from each of the front corners down the 'A' post (pillar) and out by the rear of the front wing bottom ?? (well that's were water drips on me mates ES)
