    Auto box won't change out of 1st

    Didn't happen to me but a friend had a similar issue a while back. Turned out the gear selector cable was loose. When lever shows D it's actually in 1 only. Try the cable first. Took a mate 20 mins getting dirty but fixed for free

    Rough startup ??

    Hi all. Any ideas?? 1995 D1 V8i 3.9 When I startup i have to sit on the throttle keeping the revs up otherwise it dies. It will stay like this until it's warm (usually after 1 minute or so) then I can take foot off gas and it'll run fine without stalling. It does this only on petrol. When I...

    My new project

    So I attacked the boot floor today after my new one arrived. Back breaking stuff and went through 6 cutting discs on the angle grinder but finally got the floor out. Nearly cut through brake pipes in process but missed them by a few millilitres thank god. Why oh why did Landrover think it would...

    Some people have said you can rivet the boot floor but other day it MUST be welded? I did mention rivet to the garage and he said no way. It MUST be welded.

    Dilemma. Help!

    My MOT is run out and to pass I have to replace boot floor and patch up inner front wheel arches. Sony disco is off the road :( Problem is. I really can't afford to spend £250 on a MIG welder to fix it. If I want to MIG weld I'll have to wait a few months to get one by then I'd have been...

    Is LPG bad for my engine????

    I popped into my local garage today. And the guy said my engine sounds rough on petrol. (1995 3.9 V8) I'll admit starting it on petrol it's a bit rough until it's warmed up. However it's runs like a dream on LPG. So the garage man tells me that Lots of disco owners get rid of the LPG as it...

    LPG disconnect advice please.

    Cheers. So where the copper pipes attach to the valve/gauge in the plastic box on the tank (in pics) using compression nuts. Just undo them and I won't have a gas leak??? I'm assuming the valve is always closed when ignition off? Hence the "click hiss" when turning key on? Am I right? Also...

    LPG disconnect advice please.

    Hello landy owners. I have my 1995 V8 back from the garage. To pass the MOT I MUST replace the boot floor. HOWEVER someone has kindly fitted a 90lt LPG to the floor. Anyone know how to safely remove tank without blowing myself up so I can get on with my project. The tank gauge is empty and it...

    My new project

    Faded Black trim????

    The wife will kill my disco if I use her hairdryer. But that's ok as I have an industrial paint stripping hot air gun somewhere, I'll use that. Never heard of this method but willing to give it a go. Cheers
