    Yup, been there, done that one..... Sorry, but your best bet is kitchjen products and elbow grease! Tried many variations on the vapour cabinet technique, and few have proved particularly successful, and almost ALL have been peculiarly hazardouse. For greasy things, cheap, big box BIOLOGICAL...

    Young Driver Land Rover Insurance

    Ah yes, but a Landy at 30 had more kinetic energy than a coke can Saxo at 90..... hit a wall, Saxo will crumple like a crisp packet..... Landy will punch a hole straight through, and carry on toi dent the tree behind! Whole lot of 'factors' in the insurance equation, and for a young driver...

    Young Driver Land Rover Insurance

    It rarely is.... thing is the system is inordinately loaded against young drivers from the outset, so its not going to be easy whatever mota you go for..... arguments suggest that the line of least resistance through that mire, keeping your desires in check, gives you least to worry about and...

    Which Discovery?

    If you want a 'Project', yes, I'm recomending a 90. It's the model whose resale values warrant chuching the time effort & money at. If a Disco is your 'Dream Car'........... seek medical advice........ SORRY!... Go for it, live the dream! But you're less likely to be so dissolusioned by the...

    Which Discovery?

    I'm in a similar situation, I want a bit of string.......... come on! If you know 'cars' you know how daft that kind of open ended question is! Lets get seriouse here; first up, why a Disco? Most common of the Land-rover products in the last twenty years, but not the only one....... and...

    Disco cv joint gone no drive now from transfer box

    It will probably still drive, but one end of the shaft thats broken will still be being turned with the wheel going round. Whatever's broken will have dumped bits of shrapnell into the axle casing, so grinding the broken bits together AINT going to make matters any easier to sort out, when you...

    Young Driver Land Rover Insurance

    NFU are an anomoly; they can be incredibly tolerant of some things, and Land-rovers are one of them, but they dont like young drivers, and wont give a 'named' policy to any-one under 25, and I believe they'll only put an under 25 yr old on a policy of a 'long standing customer'..... though they...

    Fact or Fiction?

    Gatso, Specs, etc, it wont pick up on black and white (or silver) plates

    I reckon they looked at the pictures or an old 'tractor', looked at the speed-stamp..... shook thier heads at it, and sent some-one out to recalibrate the camera! Seriousely, they CAN read the number-plates. There was a lot of speculation about this when they first came out, and ever since...

    confused about wheel/tyre size for my series 2

    Talk to Craddocks, usually the best on price for a wheel deal. 7" steelies like mods or eight spokes have about an extra inch of offset kicking the track width out a bit helping keep the steering lock reasonable. 750's are a 7 1/2" wide tyre with roughtly 100% sidewall height, and is the old...
