    Disco II Rear Door Handle Sticking

    easiest way is to poke out the landrover badge from the numberplate/ doorhandle housing and get right into the handle area with spray wd40. same with the other doors, spray in through the handles and then latch mechs. a quick spray down the lock poppy up thingys doesnt go a miss either...

    tailgate washer jet adjust

    is there a way, or modification that can be done, to alter the washer pattern. at the moment only the lower half of the wiper is getting water, and as a result only half the wipers sweep area is clean. i have removed the spare wheel and have checked and happy that the tube is not kinked or...

    disco GS Sunroof drains

    mantamad thanks for the picture. when my roof was open i was looking for something a bit more obvious rather than two grooves at the front corners (that is if i am looking in the right place ?) as stated above i agree that the seal is there to prevent "most of the water getting into the...

    disco GS Sunroof drains

    have had a quick look around the forum but no exact location given as to exit points. guess a better way would be to seal the sunroof proprely. two suggestions found 1) clean seal properly then apply vaseline or 2) clean seal properly then apply one sided sticky sealent tape, the type...

    disco GS Sunroof drains

    i had a good look around the sunroofs on my 52 reg gs yesterday. i also could not find anything that looked like a drain hole or tube. i was left then with the thought that maybe discos of our age rely on the seal to make a watertight fit with the glass. if anyone can say different or...

    Should I buy a Disco II for towing 'van

    the harder the tyre the less running friction there is with the road, hence more mpg. the odd psi will not make a great deal of difference to the handling because of the type of tyres that are fitted to our vehicles ie high sided walls and not low profile. that said to much or to little will...

    jules good to hear about the dog guard as if i remember correctly i put you on to paddocks after a little bit of concern about the one advertised on ebay..... where is the photo ? tyre pressure can effect the handling of the vehicle so start off as it says in the manual then change bit by bit...

    Strange noise when Idling - is this normal?

    yes that is the correct one for yours. only problem is it is not being sold with the actual mounting brackets that are perminately attached to the car. the rest of the guard and its mounting brackets are. the vehicle mounts will be available from a dealer if yours are not already in place...

    Strange noise when Idling - is this normal?

    on ebay 170034566177 is for the td5 290036448705 is for the 200/300 the easy way is that if the sides go up at a straight angle, that is without a bend half way up then it will not fit yours. have a look at the difference on the two examples. watch what you pay as a new mesh one, which is...

    Weak windscreen washers!

    to be safe then i would disconnect the pipes where you can gain access for blowing with your gob. like you said if you ballon or split a good pipe jobs knackered.

    Weak windscreen washers!

    my guess would be pump end, unless you wanted to make a water feature out of the washer bottle ;) for cleaning out the jets use a pin or needle.

    nik out of interest did you pull and leave the nipples out for good? i simply wiggled mine then gently pushed a paperclip in. sounds all a bit kinky :p mat

    A water leak in the front.

    common problem. use the "search" facility for cure as it has been covered numerous times. in short locate the aircon drain plugs underneath and clear them out. be ready for the water running down your arm example :-...
