    Noisy wheel bearing! Which wheel?

    That number is for the complete hub and is been superseded by GBR 100. The way I understand it the bearing can't be changed in the hub, if someone has managed it I want to see pictures.

    TD5 fuel pump whirring

    Micro biological growth would be through the entire fuel system and would cause running problems as it would block the fuel lines and injectors, it grows in fuel that has water contamination and looks like snot so I don't think you have it in your tank. Like biglad sayes it could be the...

    Heavy Duty Springs

    The springs on my 04 Disco are in need of changing after covering 158k miles and towing a Austin Champ round most of Scotland. I want to put Medium or Heavy duty spings on the back to stop the car sitting down when loaded with tools, spare straps and all the other crap that goes on a trip out...

    Programmable ecu td5

    Nathan, the easiest thing to do is phone Gary at Alive Tuning he will be able to explain the work and cost's involved. When I got my 04 Disco remapped he showed me a jar full of old chips he tookout of the older ECU's, he does those things in his sleep.

    2.5 dse starting problem

    Start by changing the injector leak off pipes, this made a difference to my Grandfathers P38 DSE. If you're still having problems get a non return valve for the fuel line just before the filter (think the id is 6mm) you can get these from most motor factors, and like has been said a good battery...

    Chipped Windscreen

    If the damage is within a set distance from the edge of the window they will not repair it. The window excess doesn't affect your no claims.

The rest is really up to yourself, there is so much stuff out there to add on it all depands on what your are using it for. Best thing would be use it...

    What Landy stuff has caused grief to your other half?

    I think I got the best deal. It was her Dad and Brother that got me into Landys so she was well used to them and I just joined in and helped out to the point where I'm building a 4.6 V8 90 challange motor with her Brother.

    Snow chains

    We've got chains in all the pick ups at work but only really need to use them when the snow was really deep and we were trying to get off site. The rule was if you needed chains to get on to the site then you turned round and left. Normaly when the snow was that bad the belly plate would ride up...

    Windscreen washer heater - Anyone tried this?

    Found this after a quick Google search, Discovery 2 (and 3/4) Heated Washer Jets | Alex Threlfall's Blog I know this is mod is for a Disco 2 but not sure if it could be fitted to Disco 1, seems cheap so thinking of giving it a go before the frost really kicks in.

    Tea Leaves an assorted thievin' pikey's
