    help

    As the others said, perhaps an introduction would have been better take a look at your original post. It dives straight in with a question with no mention of who you are etc. A little bit impolite. As for tight fisted, I would say its more like common sense, buying good solid trustworthy...

    help

    I think the vehicle you mention is probably beyond the reach of most of us so probably a bit of envy going on. Like they say do a search and there is bound to be useful info. Don't be put off by the banter, there is a wealth of information and experience on this site and you will find the people...

    replacing disco radio /cass

    Put a sony in mine £115 but has 1GB flash memory for MP3 etc, wish I has spent a bit more and got one with blue teeth though. Recently hooked it up to the rear sub and it sounds superb and a great improvement on the original.

    DOOR WON'T OPEN BASTID! hheellpp!!

    Had the same problem on the tailgate. Worst part was getting the door card off without breaking the fixings. Take pics of all the gubbins with a digi camera so you can see how it all goes back together. Follow the destructions that come with the springs (yes they look like the ones) and you...

    Disco or Jap model?

    I was helping a friend on his Pajero and was amazed at how little room there was under the bonnet for maintenance. Even the simplest job like tightening the A/C drive belt was a mission. Also beware of overcomplicated set ups and uneccesary electronics. You have to take lots of stuff off to work...

    Disco or Jap model?

    I have been using my Disco for the last year to launch a 16' boat. I have had no problems on sand or on slipways and the Disco unlike most 'slittys' as they call them here is that its full time 4wd so can pull 3.5 tons (ask how much a nissan can pull). The key is (whatever you get) to keep it...

    Front Passenger Door

    You can get the spring for £4.50 from ebay and it has a drawing and instructions with it. make sure you get the correct side spring. Do a search on door handle and no doubt you'll find a link to the site.

    K&N Induction Kit

    New filter on. Sounds good and a definite improvement in power especially lower down. Just been to Liverpool and back at a steady 65-70 and it still only managed 29mpg.

    Oil on top of the head

    Looks like HG will have to be replaced again then :(

    Oil on top of the head

    Had the head machined 8 thou taken off. There was an instance where I saw oil bubbling around the bolts a month after doing HG and on that occasion the bolts were loose. I think I should find out what torque settings they should be (I set them as per manual with an angular gauge) But looks like...

    Oil on top of the head

    I have notices that on a long run I get oild dripping on the floor. I traced the leak to the top of the head on the ex manifold side. It seems the oil is coming from under the head bolts! Only happens on long trips. As I changed the head gasket last december, I am a bit worried. As I am going...

    K&N Induction Kit

    Would you believe it. Got the kit today. All boxed and marked up as LR disco 300TDI. Pulled the airbox out and fitted all the hardware, brackets and pipes etc. Then it says ' push the filter on to the steel tube' easier said than done! no way was it going on. It was a good 5mm smaller than the...

    K&N Induction Kit

    This is my point because I know someone with the same disco as me who had one fitted in conjunction with de catting, EGR blank and a small adjustment on the injector pump. The difference was amazing. It really has a lot of low down power it didn't have before. So what I really wanted to know is...

    K&N Induction Kit

    Its the cone shaped filter that replaces the airbox and theres a flexi hose that brings cool air up to the filter.

    K&N Induction Kit

    Sorry MHM just lazy I know. Just trawled through the threads on the subject and no one mentions wether you need to adjust the pump or not. I just want to know if its something I could do or is it best left well alone. The question about wether they are any good has varied responses. I have seen...

    What do you get on a full tank ??

    You don't have to tell mer to relax and enjoy life I do that pretty well ta. The title of this thread is about how many miles you get on a tankful so I do think its relevant. My opinion is that anyone going on about MPG needs to be measuring it with some degree of accuracy. If everyone has a...

    K&N Induction Kit

    Has anyone fitted one of these? I have a friend who has and I was amazed at the difference it made. He is claiming 40mpg but I am not so sure. He has de catted and EGR'd it too. He reckons the pump had to be adjusted. Anyone know if this is the case? I have just ordered one so I need to know...
