    noise behind the dash

    I get beeps telling me the keys in the ignition, beeps telling me the stereo front panels still on and beeps telling me the lights are still on. I get a loud beep from the immobiliser if the doors are not all shut properly. RAZ - I sent you a PM yesterday mate.

    disco 300 sub

    woo hoo - just reassembled it after taking the amp apart and finding nothing wrong with it. Plugged it all in and cranked up the stereo and it works! Trouble is I don't know what I did to fix it. Maybe one of the multiplugs wasnt in properly or a bad connection. Anyway sounds great now thanks...

    heated rear screen

    While I was faffing about inside my rear door I accidentally pulled the cable out from the HRW. I am assuming thats what it was cos it dont work now. Anyone know how the heck I can get it back on again? I can't see any lug for the connector to go on (spade terminal) and theres no where to get...

    200tdi ignition barrel (urgent)

    On the 2 I have done so far, I used a long (12") thin cold chisel and a 1 1/2lb hammer, first nut came undone straight away and the second a bit more stubborn. I just prised the bracket up until there was enough gap to just drop off. Then I undid the switch assembly with a small Philips and...

    Disco Door Locks

    Don't know anywhere else. The ebay ones came pretty quickly anyway and it was a fiver as opposed to goodness how much for the only other option which is a whole new latch.

    200tdi ignition barrel (urgent)

    I hit the shear bolt with the chisel - obviously in an anticlockwise motion. the second one didnt come off so I just prised the bracket off the column once the first bolt was off. My brother (a copper) recently had the same problem and was stranded. He was amazed that I was able to get it off...

    EGR -Tope Hose

    Tope hose? that sounds a bit fishy to me. I was keen to take the whole thing off and throw it in the bin. I cut the branch pipe off the intercooler pipe and welded a patch over it. You can get a 200TDi intercooler hose otherwise which will fit.

    Disco Door Locks

    Just done this job myself at the wekend. Your right about Haynes - no help at all. You need to disconnect the little linkages, undo the 2 screws that hold the child lock switch in place and remove it, then you need a Torq adapter socket to undo the 2 bolts that hold the main latch into the door...

    I think I'd just get a standard one - or take it off - who needs to see behind anyway, with landy's theres rarely anything behind anyway!

    Not sure if they worked before. I will take the sub to work and get one of the electronic boffins to check it out.

    auto dim rear view mirror - I have searched

    Got one in mine, never taken any notice of it but always have the green light lit. Saying that I have never been dazzled by a car behind me so it must work. I'll try and have a look in the handbook.
