    Hope so. The jack didn't look so big in the pictures, but I had to unbolt the handle for it to (just about) get it in the boot of the Disco. Bloody heavy it was too. It was only when I got back home and wheeled it past my wifes little Skoda that it dawned on me just how enormous it was :eek...

    Newby question - how to buy a rust free Disco?

    A rust free Discovery???? :confused: Sorry. Does not compute. I suspect that you have more change of finding this weeks winning lottery ticket than finding a rust free Disco.

    what would win a disco 1 or a rangerover sport?

    I suspect that the RR Sport would **** it. Thats the progress of technolagy for you.

    mud in rad

    I did the same as the previous tow posters, but I found that there was still quite a bit of crud in there. Maybe I had left it too long to dry, dunno. Personally if mines really bad I remove the rad and intercooler, use many, many buckets of very hot soapy water, then spend age with the...

    Hmmmmm........ Don't be too sure. The first time that I ever went 'off road' in mine was when it was totally factory spec, including the side steps. Still had a great day though, you just need to be a bit sensable, and be prepared to get your car very, very dirty, inside and out. Also...

    BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!!!! ****Part bearing kit inc VAT, consisting of bearings, hub gaskets, locking nuts, locking washer & hub seals = £60. For the Timkin bearings, inc VAT and all the gubbins = £76. Thanks for the heads up chaps. Time to cancel that order from LR. For many regular...

    Wheel bearings. One each side or two?

    £240 inc VAT for the whole lot from the main dealers. So thats £60 a corner. I know that someone will be along shortly to say that I have been ripped off, and I could have got ****Part ones for £20 a corner, but I know it is going to be a bitch of a job and I don't want to be doing it again...

    Wheel bearings. One each side or two?

    As per the title chaps. Is there one on each side or two? Having just suffered a locked / siezed bearing I'm guessing I am better off changing all 4 / 8 of them to be on the safe side? Cheers.

    I used to work with a guy who had spent quite a few years working on the gambling boats opertating out of Malaysia. Married to a Malaysian bird as well. He was telling me that out there, there is practically zero theft. Why? because if you get caught, you get a public flogging. Get caught a...

    Thud Clunk Screeecchhhhh!!!!!!

    I was thinking that Martin, and TBH, I hope that it is. At least then it should be cheap on parts and, (fingers crossed), an easy fix. I'm running standered size wheels / tyres, (abelt MT's), and in the 3 1/2 years that I have owned the car I haven't had any of the wheel bearing replaced. The...
