Fixed it this evening. Tried quick operation, slamming, oiling the catch and still not working! Then I got hold of the strap that you pull to raise the base and pushed it in the opposite direction to the unlatching/raising action while the seat base was in the down position. This released the...

Google gentlemen of salvage. They have loads of used disco bits and offer excellent service.

I did check and drop the base a couple of times but still no go. Will have another try tomorrow.

Should have said, mine is a 5 seater!

have had the seat folded up and now I have the base folded down but the seat back won't return to the vertical position. It goes up a few inches then there is a heavy clonk and it won't go any further.

I got the Supergaz shocks for the front, not much improvement in the ride over what was fitted before but needed new ones so the price was good. Ride improvement comes from changing 18" wheels to 16", but don't look as good!

Good write up Maaarrkgh, interesting to read the improvements your changes have made. I bought my D2 with all the bits done same as you apart from it runs on a standard airfilter and has had an ECU remap. I will look at the silicone hose kit for the turbo as if they are original they are 14...

It's easy when you know how. Whoever refitted it previously had bent the metal claws so the trim wasn't pulling close enough to the door seals. All fixed now.

Cheers, will give it a go later.

My drivers side B Pillar trim is not fitted correctly. When viewed from the rear seat ther is a vertical gap between the trim and the pillar and just having a look at it today I can see that the seat belt height slider is not fitted correctly which is stopping the trim pushing all the way home...

I used a suede shoe cleaner. Easy to apply and good results. I'll have to do the other 3 now.

Ever since I got my Disco home after buying it last May I have been itching to sort out the odd door card on the near side rear. My TD5 has the suede trim cards except for one which is in a sort of twill fabric. [/URL][/IMG] Also the other door cards have the extra speaker in but after looking...

I did mine up to 140nm the bent my breaker bar the next time I had to take the wheels off.

Aren't they midrange speakers? Tweeters on pillar trim.

Good point, but at my mileage it won't need doing for a good while.

Cold start this morning, car has sat for 3 days and its like I have a new gearbox. Changing up or down to second now works fine. Smith Alan MTF94 works a treat. Amazing!

Anyone know a good source of semi?

Only do about 3500 miles per year but plan to do an annual oil and filter change.

Which is better for the TD5? 5w/30 I know but some use fully synthetic and I thought I read somewhere semi was better.

Yes thanks for that, seems good so far and all at a great price. Will use Smith & Allan again.
