I think you should have a sticker on your car to warn emergency services of the presence of a gas bottle if carrying it in a car.

I have a source, just trying to discover if the various part number super-cessions are significant to the fit or whether they are material upgrades or what. It is a bit complicated but according to my LR parts guru the latest hoses aren't intended to be used with the old steel pipe so for my...

Want to change the intercooler hoses but my 2000 disco has several versions available when consulting the LR parts book. are they all pretty much the same or are they dependent on the metal pipe size/shape? If my car still has the original hoses I need to buy an expensive set comprising two...

I have followed this thread with interest. Well done, a great story and very good to see the clip of the engine running at the end.

I have a quote for £580 to remove the glass, fix the rust and repaint the roof.

I have the same issue, looks like some sort of rubber under the glass but I think it is just sealant. Got to have mine removed to fix the rust. Getting it done before the winter. Will be interested to see how you get on with yours.

Thanks Sierrafery, is there any particular brand of oil you recommend?

I have read all the debate over which grade of oil to use in a UK TD5 and I will stick with SAE 5W 30 semi-synthetic as I have used before. On saturday I saw the aforementioned spec in ASDA for £19.95 for 5L but it said on the container it was for Ford engines. Does this matter? At that price...

That's the key though, afford!

I'll give it a go tonight

ok thanks for the ideas, do relays fail gradually or just work/not work?

Hi all, when I got my car a year ago the back forward movement on the seat base didn't work. After fiddling with the switches and checking connections I took the seat out, lubricated the screw the motor turns and all was well again. Now this year the seat has stopped moving again, it goes back...

ha ha :)

Yes as long as it can be traced to just one pipe, at the moment I could be looking at needing 6 pipes so the cost of removal will be cheaper. I want to keep the ACE, just don't want to be spending money on it on a regular basis. I have an invoice for 6 new pipes in 2010 and it seems it may...

seems like I have a leaky pipe. :hurt:

I know you are all going to tell me to just get rid, BUT I have a small drip running down the front right downward diagonal run of ace pipes. Its is not gushing out but over the last few days I have noticed a small oily patch under the car (the only one I have!) I have a receipt showing that...

I see.

I didn't think D1 had ACE?

No get down your local LR dealer and get proper ace fluid.
