    Driveway protection...

    Hmm...... Is that on the car to stop the leaks or on the drive to seal it?

    Driveway protection...

    Alright already! :eek: I have to find a solution.. I can't move - I'm not rich enough - too many landrovers. I can't buy any more landrovers (see above) I am unable to stop all the leaks 100% of the time - I plug one and another starts elsewhere. I don't want to put gravel down -...

    Which 3 legged puller....

    Anyone got any experience with the various 3 legged puller sets on ebay at the moment for example: 3, 4 & 6 Inch 3 Piece 3 Leg Hub Bearing Gear Puller Set | eBay I want to replace the front hub/bearing on my D2 - I think I need a 6" one - but are these ones up to the job? Cheers

    Driveway protection...

    On occasions, my car leaks diesel, coolant, oil (of at least 3 differing types) and ace fluid. Some of this stuff attacks tarmac! I presume I'm not alone - What do you do to protect your drive?

    Facelift headlight clean....

    I might go buy the greygate polish - but I just used "Oral-B Pro-Expert (Sensitive + Gentle whitening)" toothpaste and it worked a treat. I dabbed small amounts all over the light - probably about a teaspoon in total. Then dampened (quite wet but not dripping loads) a loose wad of blue-roll...

    What mileage is your Disco 2 on?

    196000 and showing it a bit.

    Facelift headlight clean....

    Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty sure the discolouration/grime/scratches are on the inside. I'll see if I can source the raf Polish falling that I'll try brasso or maybe windolene. But...... Can anyone tell me about dismantling the headlight to get to the lens?

    Facelift headlight clean....

    My Left headlight 'lens' is way duller than the one on the right - which looks sparkly new in comparison. The problem seems to be grime/micro scratches on the inside (!!) Before I start to strip it all down polish and up the left hand one are there any gotchas/tips on how to get it apart...

    New stereo head...

    I like the idea - and - I think the wiring is intact (I can make good anyway) But...You can't plug anything USBy into an HC head can you? If I went the original HC way - are there any gotchas on the model?

    New stereo head...

    I've got a 6cd changer under the driver's seat and a Harmon Kardon (Hk) amp under the passenger's seat. The previous owner saw fit to replace the HK head with a unimpressive aftermarket head. I want to put a head in that will use the cd changer but particularly use the controls on the...

    TD5 Autos - are they just weird?

    Clutch slipping - that was exactly how I was going to describe it after yesterday's trip. 56mph seems to be the critical speed - once there she does not fall back to idle all the time - I should RTFM I guess! In a drag race with my older, manual, D2 the manual would easily win - but, using...

    TD5 Autos - are they just weird?

    It never even crossed my mind - but there were no warnings showing on the nanocom I'd borrowed. Perhaps I'll try that again.

    TD5 Autos - are they just weird?

    Ok - I'll take her for a spin in 3rd tomorrow and I'll report back. Cheers

    TD5 Autos - are they just weird?

    Nope - if I floor her she admires the open road in front of, ignores the beeping cars behind her and takes her own good time getting up to speed.

    TD5 Autos - are they just weird?

    Dropping into top sounds like it should be in some sort of gear - it feels more like she's dropping out of gears altogether. Is keeping her in 3rd a simple test for this or a long term solution? I've been told by loads of people that the autos are great - surely they don't like...

    TD5 Autos - are they just weird?

    I'm driving an auto TD5 D2 at the moment - she seems gutless :( I've only ever driven autos on holiday but this D2 just runs weird. Sure she gets up to speed - but in twice the time my manual does. If I'm cruising downhill, she seems to drop into neutral and the revs fall to 1500 and...

    Lots of White Smoke from exhaust...

    Another good point well made

    Lots of White Smoke from exhaust...

    From recent failed purchase experience, the quality of the chassis, interior and bodywork would suggest 1.5k more than they're already asking. Since its coming from a group of people who should know the value it kinda suggests to me they think there may be a problem and are already...

    Lots of White Smoke from exhaust...

    Whilst I was steaming up the hill I did not see the smoke :) When I stopped at the top to change drivers the plumes of smoke became visible. So I nipped out and opened the bonnet to see the source(s) Though for future test drives perhaps I should install cameras :)

    Before I buy a new bearing assembly - some diagnosis please...

    Oh.... From my research I thought I should be looking for one that had "Timken" stamped into the bearing - (I thought Britpart did) - te cheaper ones don't have this. Or is this only if I plan to properly use my D2? :)
