Highway Terrain (tyres). They're Avon Rangers at the mo. Just got to drop the pressures a bit ;)

Hiya Sue, you're still doing your exploratory trip? If you're still keen for company we'll join you - what day are you heading out? We've had to postpone the new ATs until next month :-( so still have HTs fitted, but after the day at Parkwood (where despite rain that day we got around...

Begger, Mrs E and I would have been have been right up for this, but have a pre-booked house-sit in Oxford over the weekend. Have to just been local trips in the meantime then...

To warn people you're accident prone....? ;)

Kia Ora fellas (and feller-esses) Our fine Disco (christened Harry by Mrs E) has been busy acquiring new accessories, ready for its first venture into the English countryside. Mrs E and I would be keen to join you on your exploratory trip if it's a go for the 26th. All things going to plan...

Dark side...nope, the north side - definitely the bright side! We're just down the road from Dick Hudsons pub (everyone around here seems to know where that is) on the moors. Cheers for the heads up - I'll keep an eye on the laning section. At the mo even the diff lock is not working (seized...

PS. would love to meet up with anyone local to discover local greenlanes - they'd have to be pretty tame as the old girl is still stock standard at the moment.

Lol, folks the grass is always greener....! I'm not going to make any comments on the demographics, politics, ethnic diversity or otherwise of Bradford. But one thing I will say, THE CURRIES ARE FANTASTIC All joking aside, we truly are enjoying it here, and don't think that the locals...

...And are now living north of Bradford! (Have been a member of the site for a little while but not really active...) My wife and I have come over to live close to her family in York. We've bought a Disco 300tdi, which I'm planning to do up to be a modestly capable off-roader, and I'm...

Ok had a closer look - the single wire was actually black with pink stripe, and I managed to get it on the handbrake switch, and it is indeed the correct wire there. So now just trying to identify the two black/white wires...

Ok, installed a new centre console today, about 3 months after removing the old one Now putting it back together and there's two wires spare I can't identify (as per photo) One is Browny with white stripe, and the other has two black/white wires (connected to one female socket). I know...

Ok here it is:

Spot on mate, thanks for the advice. Had to get the cover and cap right off, give it a few taps (after some CRC soaking) and she was free! I took a photo of the cover when it was off. Tried to upload it to my gallery but having no joy. It says "1 photo in queue" but when I click on that...

Time to purchase a Haynes workshop manual I think...

I do have one problem with the diff lock not engaging though which I've posted separately about.

I have had a chance to have a bit more of a look over it, and it is amazingly rust free. I mentioned earlier that I had an '88 model a few years ago. This was in the "typical" condition - rust in the doors, wheel arches, footwells... This new one is definitely showing signs of the rust in...

Gidday thanks for the reply. Can you elaborate on what the "ali cap" is? I assume this job is done from the interior, removing all the interior over the transmission tunnel? I have checked to make sure it is original LT230 - I did think someone might have replaced it with Borg Warner, but...

Hi all, Boy this is a busy forum! I have just purchased an '87 model Rangie. It hasn't been used off road by the last owner, and looks like it hasn't been offroad much at all in it's life so I'm assuming the Diff lock has barely been used. I can't engage it at the moment. The...

You wouldn't believe my luck, there was an 87 for sale at home here! I rang the guy today, negotiated a deal, and flew to Auckland to pick it up. Engine is running a bit rough (missing at some rpm, first instinct is electrical issue) but while there is some rust, chassis appears to be in...

I agree I think the less electronic bits the better. Am interested to know what's better about the 14cux over the 14cu, and would it be easy to replace the cu for the cux?
