Why not just wait till you see the vehicle again and follow it. If he parks/stops somewhere You could approach the owner then or at least follow him to his address.

I have a Td5 auto and unless I get it on a good run I never see much more than around 20 mpg. The morning and afternoon school runs kill it. Especially in this cold weather. I have just accepted that this is the price I have to pay for the privilage of owning a Disco.

I went to coils a few months back. Something the same reason as yourself. Everything getting tired. I don't do any off roading in the disco, I find it a lot stiffer on the road, a lot less body roll on roundabouts and corners. Where I did notice the difference was where I park when leaving my...

I have an 03 Td5 auto. Mine does exactly the same. Worse when it's cold. I work pretty close to home so my Disco never gets time to heat up, I find it changes best if you just bury the pedal and hold it about 2500 rpm. She just bangs up through the gears nicely. Most of the time i'm getting...

Go down to your local cycle shop. Buy a length of bicycle brake cable ( can be bought in whatever length you need ) and use it. As far as I am aware they are all the same diamiater.

Cheers discomania, thats put my mind at ease.........

When I first got my old SIII someone many years ago had converted the engine to run on LPG. By the time I got it the tank had been taken out, the engine had been changed and the conversion was disconnected and in a sorry state. I removed all the pipework and equipment and binned the whole lot. I...

Yeap it's def a lot easier to turn when it's moving. Was thinking more along the lines of car parks. I dont really think my local Tesco's is Land Rover friendly. Tight lanes and tight spaces. You know what its like

Fuel tank breather is incorporated in the fuel filler cap. So as long as your not in over the fuel cap you'll be ok. As said before, if you keep moving chances of water getting into the fuel through the breather is minimal...... Good Luck, your a braver man than I. Deepest I had my Disco in was...

If it's a Disco II push the lever at the side of the seat to fold it in half, once its in half, on the innermost ( the side closest to the vehicle centre) there is a thin strap made of seat belt looking material but a lot thinner. Pull the strap and lift the seat up. The seat then lifts from the...

Hi Guys, just a quick one about my TD5, I have noticed this past few mornings it has been colder. On starting my Disco it sits and ticks over just under 1000 rpm. Once it warms up it drops back down to the usual 750 ish rpm. Was wondering if there is a sort of cold start system on the truck...

Well thanks guys, maybe I'll just leave it as it is then. Once I start driving it I'll maybe see how it is. Many Thanks for your input.

i want to use it as much as possible. i live in town and most of the driving will be done in town. Apart from a few off road days, Im not exactly Mr Universe and am just thinking about how to make it a little more driver friendly.........

Quick question, Will a power steering box from a Defender 90/110 fit an SIII 109? Fitting the pump on the engine is no problem just wanted to know if the steering boxes were the same........

There is a great link in the sticky's. It was put up by Slob. Wont tell you anything really exciting but would be a start. Will tell you how to work out from the chassis number how the vehicle left the factory and where it was built.......

You might be right about the xyz switch, I had a similar problen with my TD5 a few weeks ago. Consulted the manual and it told me that the flashing "M" & "S" lights indicates an electrical fault in the gearbox. I spoke to a friend of mine who works on Landys and he told me to check all the...

Thats what I was thinking also. I know of a lot of S111 Landy's running around with 1971-1972 log books. I know for a fact these vehicles are a lot younger than this. I know of one vehicle that started life as a Defender and is now running about on 1971 S111 plates and all S111 body panels. Only...

I'm hoping to have my SIII finished over the next 3-4 months. I was wondering just how many people using the forum are from Northern/Southern Ireland. Also I was thinking of organizing a Land Rover run from Malin Head ( most northerly point of Ireland) down to Cloghane ( most southerly point of...

Ok have a wee query here, as you know I converted the Disco to coils, all going well until last week. I was driving through a car park when the SLS light came on in the clocks. Drove on and parked, got back in and all was fine. Until the next time I was in slow moving traffic, it came on again...

Was out in the Disco the oter day, stopped at a mates house and jumped out leaving it in reverse. Got back in and it wouldn't start ( natural enough ). So I thought it was the immobiliser playing up, locked it and unlocked it, no go. Noticed then it was in reverse and moved it into park, it...
