Spandex clad arseholes on pushbikes riding in the road, gaffers, enviromentalists, politicians, civil servants, speed cameras (especially the mobile sneaky type b'stards), traffic wardens, and last but not least, call centres in friggin India.

Thanks for the reply, got it done at R K Automotive, Lichfield Road Ind Est, Tamworth. Seriously nice bloke, who does just about everything to do with Land Rovers. Has the diagnostic gear the lot. Hope this may help others. Rob

Lousy gits here say they can't do it, 'cause of the way it moves on the hand brake on the ramps. I'll ring round.... Thanks. Rob

Anyone here know where I can get my Disco tracked, near Tamworth/Birmingham area. I'd rather stick live wasps up my arse than take it to a dealer. Rob

Buy a second hand BOC 240v welder off e-bay or look in bargain pages/ auctions etc. They are a bulky, but will keep going forever, unlike the cheapo Clark crap. However, if you are going down the 'hobby mig' route, make sure its got a fan in it, or it'll melt itself after 20 mins of continous...

What is it about looking like a storm trooper when biking then? Bit like the hamshanks when the play the 'american football' pretend rugby. When we were kids you went out in jeans and a t-shirt on you bike, if you fell off it hurt, and you tried not to do it again. Thats what learning from your...

Afraid I'm working from Volvo's system mate, our's does flag if the engine speed fluctuates from what the EECU say's it should be, or if it's compensating for low output on one or more cylinders. Using VCADS you can get a bar graph readout to show whats going on. We did however have one FM9 with...

With your fault Charles, no it wouldn't, but if the dealer is saying the injector has gone t!ts up, surely that would. The cylinder balance would be off the scale and the engine ecu should go apesh!t. Rob

Surely the engine lamp would come on if it's over fueling? I've never heard of one shutting off, and as CharlesY says, copper cavitation is more favourable (and cheaper) option to check first. I wouldn't trust a LR dealer as far as I could throw them.... Rob

Sod that I'll stick to a map... :D Rob

I've already spent the money on beer....

Condenser, compressor, reciever dryer, switch, relay, harness, pipework, pressure cut out switch, heat exchanger. Removal of heater box, draining coolant, fitting and vac & regas. Shed loads of cash, probably about 3 or 4 days work. Not really worth it. Rob

B+ = Battery wire (big heavy one) D = Diode (Charge warning lamp) W = Windings Field (RPM) B+ & D are the ones you'll use. Rob

Spot on....lol

Sikaflex is the way to go, truck body builders use it to stick roof's on the trucks, and it don't come off. There are different grades you can get, the best being 252 (as far as I know). I also think it's used by Airbus, Boeing and BAe to bond wing panels, although what grade I don't know...

Got to agree with you, the way the green donkey's are forcing us aint good. Every advancement we see at work (euro5) we see the mpg figures plummet. The new way to go now is called 'Adblue'. This is an additive stored in a separate tank, that is injected into the catalyst of the exhaust that...

The merits are it adjusts it self for load, wear, cylinder balance, gives more power, better fuel economy and better starting. This system works excellently on our trucks, gives little problems and is easy to work on. (can't comment on LR yet...) The main reason people outside of the trade...

HeHeHe, my old gaffer did the same, it ate a Vauxhall Calibra Turbo, leather trim the lot, cost a fookin fortune to put right. It also ate the front bumper while it was in the garage. What sort of mutt you got?

'Lets look at American Engineering shall we? The Dodge Viper 8.3 V10 and produces an astonishing 510bhp. ' Really, didn't Cosworth get about that out of a 2.0 turbo? The Hamshanks still like pushrods, and simple stuff (like them really). Mind you they are all doing thier nut at the minute at...

The ID number on the tail denotes that it is from the North American continent, the ad is still running on e-bay in the US so I would guess at this being genuine. The UK one has vanished (funny that). The Hamshanks do have a habbit of adverising stupid things on fleabay, even seen an aircraft...
