Cheers Jim, I'll give him a ring tomorrow. Weather forecast is pretty dire again for this region so getting too much time to go on here and not on the car. Pleasures of 'al fresco' maintenance. Further note: Rang Jim and found I'd just missed the bits I wanted! Nice bloke, I'll definitely keep...

Hi guys, I can't seem to find a diagram showing the O ring/seal/washer that goes in-between the low pressure supply adaptor pipe and the bottom of the power steering pump. It's a small, slightly bent pipe with a diamond shaped plate with two bolt holes and the 'O' ring goes over the short...

Hi Discodriver......yes, I think you're probably right but I live in hope!! I'm spraying up the end caps, primed as we speak and 'hardening-up' in the loft prior to the rest of the job. Got a nice wing in silver but not certain it's in Zambezi, close but just not quite and seller didn't know the...

I heard the Captain was a Discovery 3 owner and just wanted to get revenge on Land Rover........

Hi guys, Excuse me being a bit cheeky but I'm looking for a new bonnet for my Zambezi Silver D2 facelift td5 after colliding with a large deer up here in the West Highlands. I've called breakers all over and mentioned it on here before but still no luck. I'm not a mechanic or sprayer and...

Not certain about the 300 Dave, but I've just got one for LP pipe fitting on the bottom of the PAS pump on my D2 td5 and the configuration looks similar. Without stating the obvious, ensure correct part No quoted as I got something that's way too small so trying again!

Sympathise with him too notenough!! Mind you, once I'd found a way to jam the lower spanner on the Trans box, it was just a case of being patient and doing it. Must remember to wear gloves next time! Plus the head torch I got for chrimbo was a god send after my last one gave up the ghost!!

Hi bigge, Yes, mate, I'm over in Fort William. Was going away to work before Hogmanay but just to cheer me up a bit more, I've been laid off so busy trying to get the old girl back on the road after hitting the deer and MOT'd. I gunked everything down and the leak seemed to be coming from the...

Hi guys, Please excuse me jumping in on your posts here but could I ask the same favour? Got the front bumper/lights/grill off mine due to a collision with a deer and I've been trying to find/stop a leak from the power steering pump while waiting for the parts (bloody holidays!). It shouldn't...

Hi guys. Thanks for an informative set of postings. I appreciate it was a while ago but helped me today. Good pictures too. Exactly what I needed. First thing was to check the top of the handbrake lever. So, gently eased off the window switch cover using an electrical contact screw driver...

Hi Dave, thanks mate. I may have seen them myself...I've been living on flea-bay of late! Agreed about the silver on silver and that's going to be 'last resort' stuff. As I've mentioned, I'm away for work as of the 28th and won't be back until end of Jan-early Feb so as long as I've got internet...

Thanks Sierra, good post and very useful link. Had this problem off and on for a while. Adjusted the door and that resolved it a bit but not completely. Another job on the list !! Rob

Hi Dave, a little update. Having a real 'root about' online and it's a real surprise to see that many of the parts for a D2 facelift are far more expensive than later models....not to mention the trade in stolen head lights. I'm not naive and I guess supply and demand dictate but...

Thanks mate. Got the light and the end cap coming too. Gonna have to try and spray the bits up in Zambezi so that'll be fun. Started to take the bumper to bits this afternoon in the rain and I began to see what you've explained. I'm going to have to get the long plastic piece too. Oh, well, back...

Hi Dave, yes, that's the way I'm looking at it. Got a grill today £55 delivered. The light (offside) is proving harder to find sensibly priced. They seem to all be going for about £100. Still looking though there's a breaker I've found who can do one for £125. Looking at Britpart too at those...

Thanks Silver, I certainly hope so too, can't afford to replace her at the moment ! Thanks for the reply Dave, it's made me have a rethink on my course of action. I'm going to contact the Insurance Pirates and cancel the claim, if I still can, without any stigma being attached or penalties...

Hi Spong, yes, a mechanic mate was supposed to come round today to check for any 'deeper' damage but cancelled as it was pishing down. Hopefully happen tomorrow. I've been online checking out available parts and there's a huge disparity in prices. There's bonnets for £35 on flea bay, not bad...

Hi fanatic, Agreed mate plus there's a dent in the offside wing where the indicator butts up to it. I need to price up the parts quickly and decide if she's worth buying back as 'Salvage' and doing the repairs or negotiating on the pre-damage value. I also need to do some research on what she's...

Hi guys, Well the old girl failed the MOT so one thing I'd not done before was changing out the linkages between steering wheel shaft and the steering box. I'm not a mechanic, just an enthusiastic DIY'er through financial necessity and the guys who post on here and other Landy sites have helped...
