    Pretty sure that's almost exactly what I said :p

    Winter Tyres & What Size Wheels?

    Winter tyres aren't aimed at just snow/I've they have a softer rubber compound and are ideally suited to when temperatures are below a certain point, 7 degrees rings a bell but I could just be making it up. We put winter tyres on our nissan from about November to April in past years and will be...

    Learn something new everyday, should have known they were land rover designed though for the reason you put them both on passenger side :)

    Centre Console Drinks Holder

    There is a set of aftermarket cup holders that go either side of the Center consol but I don't think they are cheap, like £50. Similar to this, might be cheaper somewhere else.

    Didn't even think about the size, just looked at the shape :)

    Indicator relay

    You have to put resistors in the place of the bulbs, I don't know what size though As I'm assuming you don't have any lying around at home you either have to leave the bulbs plugged in if you can or change the bumper.

    Is a PTO possible for farm machinery

    Pretty sure you have to cut a hole in the rear footwell to get the pto onto the transfer box, then clear the way to the back of the car (move the fuel tank) if I remember right.

    Bigger than I expected

    Had a set on my disco, had to do a camel cut and adjust the steering stops but apart from that fit straight on with the 2 inch lift on

    Will a 200tdi with off road Tyers fit on a 6ft trailer

    Why have you started another thread with the same question? Also a standard disco easily fits on a 6 1/2 foot trailer as they are under 6ft wide so unless the tyres are over 4inches wider each than standard you should easily be able to fit.

    Tricky one...

    I think insurance is going to be mega expensive, I'm 21 with 4 years driving and 2ncb and it's still close to £1k a year on a 200tdi. God knows what it will be at 17. At 18 I was a named driver for £1500 but I think that insurers have grown wise to this and still want big bucks. Good luck though

    towing with a lifted d1

    I've got a 2 inch lift with 33"s and tow very often, mainly either a 16ft ifor or a woodchipper. No issues and I've been lifte d over a year. As said above you need a drop plate especially if your trailer has more than 1 axel to male sure all wheels are on Tarmac, I've got a Dixon bate...

    Insurance for 18yr old lad on a Disco???

    When I was 18 I was £1500 as a named driver, I'm now 21 with my own policy and it was £600 when I renewed. Can't help with the insurance on a series yet but am looking tonight as I impulsed purchased one at the weekend.

    200tdi oil leak, out of rocker breather

    As it says on the title basically, had overrun last week and decided it was turbo so switched it over. Went out for a run tonight and oil is pouring out of the breather, emptied the sump in about 2 miles. Any help appreciated thanks

    Stray pipe

    Sounds like a breather pipe, could be from a number of places, only way to find out is to look and see what ones are missing. Don't think it's the Diffs as mine are cable ties to the steering arms

    If anything black shows up the dirt, my black one looks dirty about 5 minutes after washing it. Silver is best for hiding road dirt, but mud shows up on just about every colour except mud brown.

    Wiring fault earth ????

    Mines bolted through the top of the inner wing, just behind the battery tray. I've got the same headlight issue as you at the moment and took all my earths off and cleaned etc still no change. Will be interested to see if you find a solution :)

    will a 90 roof rack fit on disco2

    I've got a 90 rack on my disco 1, not sure if there's and difference between the two. I had to pull the legs out to fit on to the gutter and its a bit shorter than the roof but apart from that it fit alrite.

    Headlights/main beam failed

    The main beam indicator light is normally fully illuminated when a bulb has blown, I'm having the same problem as you at the moment and mine was due to the earth not having a good connection on my near side bulb. Might be worth a try?

    200 tdi wont start, help!

    Could you have left the key in the cranking position? My key doesn't always automatically flick back and it has led to a burnt out starter. If you have the starter motor could have burnt out but as you were moving it bumped itself and that's why it won't start now?
