    Battery questions

    I have the big Halfords 4 yr gaurentee one on mine, I have a trade card so it was about £60 rather than the £97 price tag! If anyone is after one in the West Yorkshire area then I would be happy fot them to use my card. Saves a fortune for a whole host of things such as tools and other misc...

    Morocco - Early 2010

    £2k and 4 weeks... Is that a return journey? Has anyone only done it 1 way in the 4x4 and flogged the motor and flown home? I am thinking it would be cool to go but time and money would be against me! Maybe a soultion is to do part of the trip and get a flight home, selling the motor...

    Disco - Vibrates between 60 & 70mph

    Lol My 300tdi does the same on the motorway! It seems to do it most on the on ramps but starting to do it on the motorway too... Think it may be time to get under it and have a look!

    Yep thats the one a stone throw away from you in Ponty. It was a WH Smiths Voucher that I got for my birthday so not 100% sure what the crack is, I am awaiting an email with the info. The Post Code is WF8 3BL, Think she said they meet at the Premier Inn. I will find out if they run a Pay...

    Broken or Missing Diff Lock 1996 Disco Auto

    Yer should have done that when it was on the ramp I suppose! I am thinking a love tap with a rubber mallet may also help... then a bigger hammer till either it frees off or falls off!

    Broken or Missing Diff Lock 1996 Disco Auto

    Ok... Had the V8 in for an MOT which it passed yey:) When it was there I borrowed there inspection pit and put the 300tdi over to look at the lock/put a can of WD40 in there! It was not stuck to start with and went to the left/diff lock. Just didn't light up or engage. Now it is as...

    West Yorkshire

    I am in Brighouse just off M62 but can't do this Sunday. I also could do with getting another car as I don't want to wreck the sign writing on this van! Am looking for a Disco or Defender but not sure on my budget yet. Want something that if it rolls over or splits into bits wont cost me...

    Broken or Missing Diff Lock 1996 Disco Auto

    Ok just read another 101 threads about seized diffs..... And still nothing! I managed to find a photo of the linkages so I will not try and look to make sure 1 they are there and 2 the are all WD40ed. Problem is that the stick moves to the left locked position and will go into high or low...

    Broken or Missing Diff Lock 1996 Disco Auto

    My line of thinking was that if it was made to be an Auto they may have missed or taken the link out to get round a problem. However now I know it left the factory as an Auto there is a high chance that the box and transferbox have never left the car hence it been something that has failed...

    Broken or Missing Diff Lock 1996 Disco Auto

    Just spoken to a guy who was able to confirm off the VIN that it left the factory as an Auto so my guess is that something has gone wrong with it.... I will test the dash bulb as thats something I can do! Any other Ideas?

    Broken or Missing Diff Lock 1996 Disco Auto

    Ok I have been meaning to sort this one before the snow arrived but as the snow is falling around me I fear I may be too late! If I put it into diff lock either high or low and drive the light dosn't come on. And there is no squeek or squeeal from my tyres (It drives the same as if its in...

    Discovery 1 1996 Auto

    Spoken to paddocks and they say best to keep it as it was with solid discs and solid calipers. Aparently the brake lines are diffrent so far simpler to get the right set. So if anyone is in the West Yorkshire area and needs a pair of vented discs let me know they are going cheap.

    Looking to go off road near Halifax, Huddersfield or Bradford

    Yep thats the place I have seen. I am booked into a place in Ferry Bridge in January for another 1/2 day as I got the voucher for my birthday just after I got my first Disco, just been putting it off due to time and work but now its time to have some fun!

    Discovery 1 1996 Auto

    My mate who is helping to fit them all says that it is better to renew as I haven't owned the truck long and dont know if it is the seal or another problem. But at £35 ish I would rather be safe than sorry. Thing I was thinking is maybe they vented discs simply need vented calipers when...

    Looking to go off road near Halifax, Huddersfield or Bradford

    I saw a place in Bradford that do a day every month for £30ish quid which is ok but if there is somewhere free even better. Plus I am thinking at least 2 times a month to make it worth getting another car.

    Looking to go off road near Halifax, Huddersfield or Bradford

    Ok I am new to 4x4 off roading... I have been driving a Disco for a few months. I went on a stag do and did some 4x4ing and loved it. I don't want to do it in my current one as it is used for work and is sign written (Would get killed if it come back with a dirty big scratch!) however am...

    Discovery 1 1996 Auto

    Ok going to change the brakes on my Disco! Already made the mistake of ordering the wrong parts! I got vented discs and the ones on are solid. I thought that they would be direct swop but the calliper is not wide enough to fit it in! However when my mechanic mate helped me take them off...
