    Ignition wires

    I had the same problem with my disco, but snapped the key. If you contact your main dealer they will order you a new key from the vin number. It costs all of £22.75 IIRC.

    if you have the original 1989 axles NO. You will longer studs, or/and wheel spacers as there may be issue with them hitting the drive flanges as well

    awkward bolt on front passenger seat removal

    sounds like you need a grinder, a drill and a few basic tools. If you can get to both sides cut it off, drill it out, and put new bolts in, 1hr max surely?

    Alternator not charging

    Disco nearly killed me!!

    if you push and pull hard on the top of the wheel (eg12 o'clock) it it moves / clunks, then better get a wheel bearing set. And if its been a while then your in for a long day fixing it as the races will weld them selfs to the stub axle. Be careful driving on it if its that, you could end up...
