Well, thanks for clearing that bit up. Safe to asume that you've checked fuses as you've tackled the dash! In the past, I've encountered among other issues... Dust getting into the switch and causing it to fail. By spraying the working bits of the switch with contact cleaner or something like...

No idea mate, can't see. Have you checked anything other than behind the dash? There is a lot of posts about heaters being **** on here. Seems it can be anything from the usual slugs and sludge floating about in the coolant, viscous fans running all the time and cooling the block etc, shagged...

If that's all it failed on, I'd be cheering lol. If you're not au fait with welding, a patch that size in such an accessible place would be easy beer money for a local garage. Where abouts are you, plenty of people could patch that in next to no time!

Major non starter mate. DVLA announced when they changed the log books in the late 90's that all registered vehicles that were untaxed within a year and where the owner was not contactable then they'd assume the vehicle destroyed or broken up and all the details would be erased.

Looks like an awesome day out! Nice to see someone braved it in a Vauxhall Bacteria. (Snigger). When you look at that, kind of reminds you what a landy is capapble of! Looks like your sliders manned it out too!

Did you drain the other diesel out before running it up on the new filter? If not, that will be as ****ted up as the old one and useless.

I suppose that other than a fairly substantial chassis, the rest of a Disco is alluminium and mild steel, much the same as any other car. If they'd done a direct head on as opposed to a offset collision I'd be more confident in the Disco!

My postman has a surf, he couldn't get through to deliver the post when it snowed. Says it all. Your sisters 'other half' is quite obviously a cock!

That's ok. You could follow Landrovers example and re-brand it all as a Freelander?

The disco would have come out the other side of a mid 90's Espace in a cloud of fibreglass dust, not that there are any mid 90's Espaces left to obliterate lol. I thought the same though, Besides the fatigue on the years of life the Disco would have suffered, the Espace is designed to be urban...

I denounce any responsibility for my posts during the rugby yesterday. I was in the bar for the most of it and have vague memories of the rest of Saturday.

YouTube - Renault Espace vs. Land Rover Discovery crash test Hmm, reckon a bit of filler and a touch up stick might just do it?

Anyone would think faults are a common fault on Disco's? If they were perfect, they'd be boring. My wife is perfect.....

Shire horses have massive ground clearance and no limitations to height of the operator. Massive space, no nasty centre consols to get in the way ;)

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu. £4750 will buy you another 53plate TD5, then you can have your existing one for spares!

Not sure about where you are as it is quite a long way from me but I bought a car with a lo of flappy trims, I just went to the scrap yard and acquired a handful off their cars. For the most they are pretty universal with the french having special designs, similar poppers! If you have a look at...

Right, I'm on the shorts now....hic. Given the current economic situation and the fact that many large companies are folding, let alone being a little tighter, the odds are that L/R will wipe their hands of any claims made against them. Someone else on this forum is trying to take legal...

Had another shandy and pulled my neck in now. Sorry :D Carry on...

For fu.... christs sake, not like I said it was better than a Fourtrak or a chuffin' Disco lol.(Must go and check the train weight for it) I readily admit my drive looks like a knackers yard. Now, where was I?... Oh yeah, sorry, it is blue and red, owing to the **** loads of rust all over it...

My beloved 325i? Have you seen it or someting?
