Welcome ....TD5 what? Discovery or defender 90 110 130?

Good alarm and imobilser for a start. but a few 'budget' ideas..... You can fit extra locks like the ones designed to protect van doors being forced - lots of overlanders do this. I've fitted household mortice door locks to vehicle doors but thats quite an involved job! If your handy with...

Totally agree I'm gonna change all the bushes for poly's first though and give all the TRE's a good check and replace if needed that way I only have to get it tracked once ;)

It might well be not had it checked yet as I'll live with it till i get some new tyres. I also noticed whilst it was jacked up play in the front wheel bearings so I've gone and got 4 wheel bearing kits to change over tomorrow, I thought it better to do em all as they're probly all samme age...

UPDATE Took the old gal to tyre fitters today to get wheels balanced and they're well out of shape :O Not some thing you can see just jacking up and spinning on the vehicle but spun up on a wheel balancer and they're well out. They arent round and where you expect the tread to be flat...

Drive it up onto some railway sleepers. (give you about 4-6" lift) Drive it up onto ramps. (up to about 12" lift) Axle stands I'd get some with a minimum 3 tonne rating they are usually rated as pairs i.e one pair used together supports 3 tonnes.(300mm to 750mm lift depending on how deep your...

I changed Panhard rod bushes yesterday as they were completly knackered. Cost just over £7 for new bushes bolts and nuts and swapped em over on the drive in under an hour. It has made a massive improvement and the front end feels so much more precise, but the limping is still there :(...

When slowing down from speed (50 ish to crawling speeds) as I aproach junctions or islands my Disco feels like its limping. I can see if i watch the front edge of the bonnet that the car is leaning over in time with the limp as if one of the wheels were cam shaped.(think kids toy cars) I've...

I'll vouch for fred - a regular and well respected member of the ford transit forum.

I had this problem it was nothing to do with springs or lube although I did take the time to do them whilst i was at it. On mine one of the little pressed steel clips that hold the operating rod to the external handle mechanism had pinged off - an absolute b*st*rd to access unless you got lil'...

Welcome - Don't be worried matey Landies upto and including your 300 tdi are as user friendly and owner servicable as you could want. They're like big mechano set for big kids. and unless the tools you have are of poor quality you shouldn't struggle or want for much that you wont already have. I...

Anyone see jeremy Clarkson drive one of those G-Wizzes into a Kitchen table in one of his videos? The kitchen table won hands down and the G-Wizz burst into flames YouTube - G-wiz versus the Table And then watch this - shocking :O YouTube - G-Wiz Electric Car; Crash Test

Don't - get a Discovery

Sounds like the thrust bearing is on it's way out same thing happened to me a few months back.

Did you smear the new seals with fresh oil before you fitted the filter?

Get the Discovery II - Independant Garage depends on where you live mate.

P38 should have a standard iso connector just pop into halfords for the apapter for the brand of stereo you have. Some brands won't even need an adapter and will plug and play with the standard iso block connector :)

Don't - especially if it's kinked I did mine yesterday and the pipe snapped clean off - anyone know what size pipe and unions are needed to replace?

I decided to take the scenic route home down the local country lanes and stumbled accross a UCR/green lane which ended at a ford happy days :) :) :)

Something for the AA to attach a line to recover you with? lol
