Have you tried Dunsfold Landrovers? They're only just up the road from you. (No idea of their prices though.)

Make sure it's one that works then :)

Having refreshed my knowledge by reading the Wikipedia "Distributor" article... The capacitor (or 'condenser') was connected across the contact breaker points to suppress sparks which would degrade the surface of the contacts. If this capacitor failed open-circuit, some arcing would occur...

Don't know of any to recommend, sorry, but then I haven't tried to find anything local. I think we're in the same boat, so to speak. I've already driven it about 1000 miles (need to watch my limited-mileage insurance!) since buying it last month, but the only off-road stuff has been in...

If it is the arm or cap, surely the AA chap would have tried these, or couldn't he obtain spares for you? Usually they're pretty hot on such 'simple' faults. Does sound strange though. I had a 1.8i Mk 2 Astra which failed in the same sort of area. Had got me 15 miles home OK, and I had parked...

Not too far from me then. Lived in Cranleigh for a year or so, but that was in pre-Landy days. (That is, before I got a Landy...) Would be good to find some lanes round the area, and any local LR clubs if you know of them.

Whereabouts in Surrey are you?

Thank you. These are the ones I had seen; I remember the Iron Goat web page. They are about £100 for a pair, or a little more for the newer ones without "Iron Goat" embossed prominently. Unfortunately they are only suitable for Series III, or 90/110 with sliding windows (mine has wind-up...

Anyone know if you can get replacement inner door panels that include a speaker mount? I thought I'd seen some somewhere, but I've looked at soooo many adverts in the past few weeks. Needed for a 1992 110...

Dragged kicking and screaming back to the original topic.... Thanks for that Grippa. I'd already ordered a new tyre so I thought I should get them to fit it anyway. BUT I also asked them to have a look at the removed tyre and see if repair was possible... It was! So, for £6 I now have a...

On a Landy?

It might well be (not that I've ever had one repaired) but I don't really have the time to find out. At the weekend we're off to sunny Somerset for a week (and then North Devon for a second wk), and I can't risk it failing on us while we're away. Might ask 'em to have a look once it's off, to...

Hi all Annoyed to find slow puncture in NSF tyre (plenty of tread left).:mad: When I replace it, was going to get the (new) spare swapped with one of the others so the new tyres are fitted as a pair. (Spare doesn't match - same tyre but different rim) Should the new tyres be fitted to...

I subscribe to the maxim "don't bite the newbies" (everyone was a newbie once...) so if I'm going to get flack from you lot for tryin' to be helpful I guess I'll just have to put up with it. If the newbie is also a Freelander owner, that's a double-whammy... And if a dead Freelander, a...

Painful, isn't it? Especially once it's no longer on extended warranty... I suggest that you ask (in more detail) in the Freelander section, where you're more likely to get somewhere. (Some of the forum regulars are not very sympathetic towards this section of the LR community who have...

That's good to know, thanks...wouldn't want to be caught out by a mis-reading speedo!

Thanks all Seems I should try 30 then! (unless others post something different...) BTW - Are these tyres larger diameter than standard? If so, they will presumably affect the speedo and mileometer readings. Any idea by how much?

...who said I woz complaining...

Sorry, it's this old chestnut again. I did search for previous posts on here and just ended up more confused than I started :confused: . OK, I have a recently-purchased 110 CSW 200tdi on shiny steel rims shod with General GrabberAT2 - LT 265/75 R 16 tyres. There's a note scribbled in the front...

Get yourself a copy of Land Rover Owner (or similar) and have a look there. There are usually adverts by suppliers of military surplus (you might even get a bulldozer to tackle that tree :-) ), alongside more conventional sellers. Be warned - Defenders are addictive! They are also unlike...
