    Balls!

    Does anyone know if the chrome swivel ball steering joints for a 90/110 will fit a mk 1 disco? My common says yes, cos they're practically the same as the other underneath, but I don't want to fork out for them and find they don't. Ta muchly for any infos!

    Parking in Kent multistorys

    My disco does, and high top shogun used to fit in the multi stories in tunbridge wells, so i think you'd be fairly safe.

    Quorum Alarms. . . Who???

    Acquired (cough) a Quorum alarm form the motor. Just wondered if anyone's ever heard of them or got any opinions of them. Is it worth my time to fit it, and will it really make any difference come insurance time? Its a Quorum VA-185R. And yes, I has done a search, googled and on here, wouldn't...

    err... mate theres oil and water...oh forget it!

    Have stopped a fellow land rover owner cos their rear wheel was about to fall of. Followed for almost a mile flashing and beeping. When he finally did pull over, he acted as though I just escaped from a loonie bin! Why do people respond like this? You're going out of your way to help THEM! Odd sods.

    cleaning headlights

    If they're similar to mine on my 300 disco, they are sealed with semi setting sealant. Got a knife and VERY carefully cut the whole way round and teased apart. Long job, but worth it cos once apart, you can clean it up like new, and re seal it with some gutter bitumen seal. Really neat finish.

    head bolt

    just done mine, and your quite right maximum of 5 times use. but personally, buy new for piece of mind, their only a few quid.

    Rear brakes overhaul

    I think the general rule of thumb with ****part is "if it doesn't have moving parts, its fine. If it has moving parts in it, keep clear!"

    Run away 200 TDI

    How hard is it to stop this once it has started, and how often does this sort of thing occur?

    waxoyl high pressure sprayer

    Yeah tried it one, it pants. Get a schutz gun and some tins, then when one tin is empty, warm up the waxoil, and chuck it in. Much easier with a compressor on your side.

    Weed / Creasote sprayer for Gearbox oils ??????

    Yes they work great. Don't use a cheap own brand one, get a good one like Hozelock, and take the spray head off. The cheap ones have very poor pressure valves on them that break if used with anything thicker than water, and the better quality ones have a wider delivery tube, so thicker oil can...

    Dunno, but most people just make it up as they go along, it's way more fun that way!:D

    wheels

    Yeah thats what I got told the other day. Had a look at some on the way to work yesterday, and they are way skinnier than disco.

    wheels

    But as I was told the other day, they will look silly. Far too skinny for such a wide body. It'd look like your driving on jam jar lids!

    Steel Wheels

    Thanks for that, but that many many miles to go and collect them. I have also just read a very interesting article here about the differences between alloys and steels. I must admit that I'd just assumed that steel were wanted for off roading, but this has prompted me to thing about keeping...

    Steel Wheels

    Ok so these are rubbish then, fair enough. Thanks for the heads up. Would have been peed to buy them them fine they are all girly! As I said, I'm on a shoestring, so looking for very cheap. £50 was about all I can afford. Oh well back to hunting, and thanx all for the info!:D

    Steel Wheels

    I'm desperate to get some steel wheels. Hate these nasty alloys. These are 17J, Is that narrow then? What is the typical width for standard disco wheels than? Need to put my old tyres on them. Shoestring budget!

    Steel Wheels

    Hi all, found these on the bay of e, wondering if anyone knows if they'll go on a Mk1 disco? I know its got a compatibility checker on there, but one wheel is different, and I don't trust it. Cheers!

    I have new wheels :D

    very nice. Should have gone for red, then big ginger beard could have big ginger wheels!:D
