    Rebuild Disco 3.9 V8

    I like the idea of the brakes, I take it, its just a case of vented discs, calipers and they will bolt on fine? Will disco 2 brakes fit i seen some cheap on ebay? Yeah think im going to go with the removal of the body and clean up chassis, if I can afford it get it galvinised. Any advice on what...

    Rebuild Disco 3.9 V8

    Well as I said before i finally have time to work on my V8 i got cheap on ebay a year ago now. Plan was body off clean up chassis, replace all bushes and maybe a bit of work on engine etc. However had a right good look over it yesterday and to be honest the chassis is mint, the inner wings and...

    Rear Wheel Alignment

    Im pretty sure if it needs adjusted then the bushes are worn causing the miss alignment only way to get it back is to replace the worn ones. This is what I was told when mine was just acceptable when i got the alignment done. Im going for poly all the way on mine.

    Rebuild Disco 3.9 V8

    Yeah not ideal im wanting to keep both shell and chassis. Any other ideas? Im finally at a stage to try and remove it? I just want to get the chassis clean and painted if I can afford it - galvanised. Plus with everything removed it will give good access to do any repair work. The aim is o have...

    Hi again, well when I was trying to investigate the vibration issue on my 97 300tdi I decided to jack the whole car up run the car and accelerate and see if I can find what is causing it. First thing I noticed when the car was driving only 3 wheels were spining in the air the rear passanger...

    Vibration on accelerating

    Had the prop off a couple of years ago doing the uj's but been fine. Just back been all over it everything mentioned above and all seems fine. Did find a wee oil leak from the vac pump mount but that was it. I thinking ill just have to wait till it becomes worse and more obvious. Might get the...

    Vibration on accelerating

    Just about to go out for another look but while I was under fitting the new exhaust I did grease the uj's and checked them ill have a look. Was more worried my timing had slipped after the new belt but ticks over great.

    Vibration on accelerating

    I know great fun to trace! Just had a quick look jacked the car up wiggled the wheels they are solid enough so rules out wheel bearings (bugger got spares of them!). Under load - Id say yes its worse when initial accelerating and going up a hill!

    I hate electrics (alarm)

    Well after playing with all the locks, spider bypass, disconnecting and wiggling wires and reconnecting. Cleaning up terminals etc and finally going to land rover for a new key and coded (£56 - not bad) it seems as if I have a fully functioning disco again. I still really hate electrics but if...

    I hate electrics (alarm)

    Well still no luck. Today I went to my landy dealer who was really good actually surprised. He tried to recode both my keyfobs for nothing. Then advised that one fob is goosed and one is a bit intermittent. He advised trying to fix the locks as he thinks one is not locking probably - probably...

    I hate electrics (alarm)

    Put everything back together. And now when you lock the car with the fob it locks then unlocks all by itself then the alarm sounds! The remote is a bit dodgy sometimes takes a while to stop the alarm to start the car. But im not convinced its just a new key fob I need. And the immobiliser still...
