Tell you the truth i cant remember if they were disco steps but i know for the life of me i couldnt get them to fit thats why i had to get a bit of welding done on them. First thing in the morning ill get under neath with the camera and tape measure, take some pics and measure a few things up...

Hi James, Mine did exactly the same, what happened to mine is the sensor that is pressed down on the fob had broken inside, when i shook it i could hear it rattling inside. Have you taken the fob apart to see if anything is broken or loose? I had a spare fob so i was ok, but i just glued the...

Does anyone know where there are any Greenlanes i could use in the Stoke on Trent area. Cheers Archie

Thanks Dave much appreciated Archie

I`ve looking through my LR owners manual and noticed that if anything went wrong with the radio i might have to put in a code to get it working again. Ive had my 300TDI ES nearly 2 weeks now but cant seem to find a card that the code is written down on. Is there any way of finding out what it...

Thanks to you both for the replies, i will check the pipes that come off the cruise control compressor, there are 3 pipes running off it, ones about 8 to 10 mm thick (black) and the other 2 are about 5mm thick, i will check them all and keep you posted. Cheers Archie I trimmed them...
