Just done mine on a 2002 facelift. No worries even with plastic covers. Makes a great improvment. For a good deal try Ace Parts on ebay. Not cleaver enough to show the link, but the service is good.

Which ITV place you thinking of going to ?

I mean I was up in the New territories Hong Kong a lifetime ago. Blew the engine out my relic of a Landy. Guy beside the road made piston rings out of a Coke can.. and they worked !

Glad to hear your mobile again. Not suprised, them little buggers can fix anything with nothing. What part of our ex empire you in?

You could be better off just going to a main dealer with the part. I had the same problem with the gas strut for the rear step. Its such an uncommon/ rare piece to request no parts place holds it. They just get it from LR and add % on.

Thanks Sierrafery. I have done the ORM thing in front of them . Nothing moves. They are fixated by the fact no light is on no problem . I will have a look at the fuse in daylight and hope thats it.. otherwise its off to LR Malaga.. The workshop is cleaner than my house, and its air conditioned !

Ive gotta jump into this one, because two people who (imo) know the subject are both on line with this. First problem is I am disabled. I can get under my vehicle. So for anything below hip level I have to use a mechanic. I have a problem with my air springs. At rest the vehicle leans to the...

What year did the MOT run out ?

My gran used to watch the horse racing a lot. She always fancied the horse that had a dump before the start of the race. Said it made the horse lighter = faster. Perhaps try that before you start the journey.

The silver disco you saw on ebay.

Having read this thread with great interest, I am now going to add " Graduate in petrol chemical engineering" to my CV. However just in case Red Adair is on the interview panel and brings up coal dust I have gotta ask " How that works ?

Nice....but what the headlamp wash/wipe ? Dont see no wipers. E bay says manual..Dealer says auto.. What are " extra seats" ? Is it a seven seater or has it got two picnic chairs in the boot.

Is that one of those stinking pine air fresheners hanging off the rear view? If it is its for a reason, to mask the smell of dog, spew, or engine,transmission smells. Bin it before you test drive.

Ive got a facelift registered 01 July 2002. Never seen one older than that.

Cant see the AA accepting any liability. The guy was "trained" to use the eqipment. He was doing it correctly as you say in your post, strapping the tyre down. No reason for him to have any contact with any part of the rear suspension so no blame attached to him. Just bad luck, its a wear and...

Im getting one from Fourdrive-styling for a Disco 2. Steve is the parts fella for the company. He says the bar needs " minor" adjustments to fit later D2.

OK. I can see that. But its nice not to be treated like a ****. I have a strange Disco. I have always wanted one and now I have one. I am a little disabled ( Blue badge boy). But my brain still works. I love my Disco to death. When I phone and ask for a part, give the year, VIN etc I dont expect...

Is that near Chateaubriant ? South of Renne.

Leave the high / low ratio in N. Ratboy will never work that out !

Gotta Hi jack this this one. Want to get mine LPG converted. The book says any backfire can fu%k the cat.
