    doors and dash queries

    Sorry to hi-jack this thread but, my dash is lifting by the windscreen, but also just above the vents on the centre section on the dash! Does any one know of a kit to fix this?

    Blimey! Didn't see that one, think maybe I'll just go down the replacement option and leave well alone ;-)

    Rotary coupler

    Have started sifting through all the threads about these, but thought I'd throw a question out anyway! Bit of back ground first, when I bought my Disco (a '94 300tdi ES with air bags) the horn worked fine, now tho its stopped working and while attempting to press the horn switch on the wheel...

    Havent even started on actually writing a list, its still all in my head (sort of), im fairly certain it'll fill an a4, from little nadgery things to somewhat bigger stuff! Just can't wait for warmer weather :-)

    Yes,I test drove it before buying it, but it was only a short test drive and trust me the list is a lot longer than just a horn and a whiney g/box!

    The joys of discovering your Discovery!

    You're right, no such thing as a bad purchase, i guess I'm just a little overawed by it all, but then i didnt buy a 20 year old car for it to be perfect! Can't wait til the weather warms up a bit :-)

    Oh bugger! The truck has been used by a stonemason for the last 12 years, probably pulling a trailer loaded with er...stones. Perhaps not the best purchase after all :-(

    landrover mechanic needed

    Can anyone recommend a good, honest, friendly (and cheap) landrover mechanic in the Leeds area? Tho I'm planning on doing most of the spannering myself, i could really do with a friendly chap to check the car out and tell me what it needs, if you catch my drift Cheers

    The joys of discovering your Discovery!

    Ok so finally picked up my lovely Disco on Saturday, had a little schmoozy around it over the weekend as you do and came up with a couple of issues which Im hoping someone out there can advise me on! 1: the horn doesn't work, 2: while pressing the horn vigorously to try to get it working, the...

    Rust treatment

    Its looking like Fertan then:), I'm planning on attacking any light to medium rust areas with a wire brush and then a rust treatment, covered by hammerite or some such thing. On initial inspection, the car seems to be surprisingly rot free, which is why I bought of course, the rest of it is a...

    MY first trip off road at Glentarkie in my standard Disco

    Strange headlining!

    The head lining in the Disco I've just bought is different to all the others I've come across previously, for starters its black material, it seems to formed rather than the usual type and it has air vents and fan control for the rear passengers (inc dickie seats), just wondering if anyone has...
