Being hamfisted with the cap was one of my thoughts but the last filter had been on the car for nearly 6000 miles with out a problem. then fuel pis*ing on the road out of the blue. It is not even as if it was off road, the roads are bad but not that bad. I have never bought a filter yet that...

oh well just have to make a guard, some metal bashing if the rain and snow stay away. Trip to stealer for more spare shi* caps I guess. Just been working this out and recon I lost 50 ltrs at £1.34 £67 :doh::doh: Next question does this count as rust proofing the underside :confused:

I think you gave the russian space pen answer :D But I don't want to spend $ millions like the Americans.:eek: Need some good old victorian elegance if anyones got some:cool:

:doh: thanks but I was looking for an solution with a bit more finess

Ok guys in know it is in a stupid place but this part is crap! I have just had the second failure of the crap genuine landrover plastic cap on the bottom of the fuel filter. both have been hit by something and have sheared off. The filter was ok just the top of the cap missing,the thread still...

Well what!:confused: it is a disco it still leaks!:D seriously all was dry for a few months then the carpets were getting wet again. weather up here has been s**t so just ran some silicone round the outer edge of both roofs it has been dry now for a month. I will order up the seals when the...

What did the listing on ebay say about scotland if they listed as an extra charge they have you. If they don't report them. I get this crap all the time but to be fair most transport companies charge more for the north of scotland. I get round it now by using my Aberdeen address if they want...

Wait till the scum comes out, catch him in the boot he goes and bring him north. we can then be let out up the Cairngorms to walk home, not even Bear Grylls would make it back.:D

My Disco has just hit the Magic 100k and no listing in the service history of the bags being changed, If I mind right it is listed to change the bags at 100k miles. It is all working fine sitting level and stays that way over night. So to the question; leave them alone and risk a leak or...

Yep you are not alone mine was the same Inverness has just as good weather! I would say take the head lining out and have a good look. The big thing to remember is the head liner is water proof so lets the water run down and collect in roof console (Get to the bottom of the road brake and...

I would check for loose internals in the exhaust mine was ringing like a bell as the cat was detached inside. get underneath and give it a good bang with your hand or rubber hamer and you will hear anything loose. Hope you find it and it is cheap! Rob

I had the same snatch gear changes from my TD5 Auto but only when I had run it for 50 miles. I changed the oil and filter in the box, with a second flush after a week as you can't get all the oil out. It was like I had a different disco smooth changes all the way and nearly 10,000 miles...

If I let my wife drive she can get 35mpg from my disco. When I drive it is around 24mpg. It has a de-cat pipe,EGR blanked, and chip tunning, and it is auto. The de-cat was the best thing I did, pipe came from Partco/Brown Brothers for a 2001 TD5 £30 quid. It is good thing I have a works...

The abilty to lower my discovery2 Landmark to park it would be good, 6 1/2 feet tall disco only fits in one car park in Aberdeen. that car park only has 8 spaces for big things. I think my disco is great but a pain to park!

Spent a long time placing rubber hose and then heat shrink on the lines I also added extra clips to hold the lines. But I like to have a few spare bits in my back-up, as they say once bitten.

Good news Land Rover now have stock of fuel line for TD5 but the rub is the price is now 110 quid plus vat! I will buy a spare set when I have some spare cash but not right now.

Hi, have you filled it back up and kept an eye on the temp. Mine did this when it was low on water but topped it up. Mine continued to loose water but I could never find the leak, I was starting to think head gasket but it ran fine and only lost the header tank in about 1000 miles. I gave up...

Just a small up date The nice woman from landrover assist was on the phone and nothing has changed. It gets better drivers window is now sticking!

All is going good on the sunroof front north of Scotland has had a few very very wet days and the inside of my disco is dry. so much so that I have now installed my DVD player with out problems. it was a bit of an ass nipper cutting the head lining and drilling for the nut rivets but all came...

It is not a good stiuation I have an order in but 4 months is just a bit of a joke. My bodge was on the car for a week and was going great I got new pipes old stock set and put them on but added a extra protection so I hope they will go last a bit better. The next big thing to look at is...
