    Strange (ominous) engine behaviour. Not sure what to make of it

    jgs- 4x4 sell a front prop repair kit on ebay. comes with 3 uj joints & the bearing for the Double Kardon joint. Works out about £71 but cheaper than a replacement prop

    disco 2 advise please

    Wheel bearings are really expensive as they are a sealed unit complete with hub. But other than that prices arent too bad

    Brake Discs

    There are aftermarket ones you can buy such as ALLMAKES but I cant say how relieable they are, I would take a chance with them myself as they are reasonably priced.

    Brake Discs

    I justbattered the hell out of mine till they came off & didnt cause any problem, but I may have been lucky. You could use a 3 leg puller ok,I used one to pull my front hub off, so a brake disc would be easy

    mg zr - disco 1 interchangeable parts

    Take note above, I dont mean L322 was built in Munich, I mean it was partly developed there sharing parts & ideas, if there was no L322 developed then X5 wouldnt exist

    mg zr - disco 1 interchangeable parts

    DISCO 2 axles are nothing like BMW X5. The X5 was built alongside our L322 Range Rover in Munich. They share parts, but not with Disco.

    Disco II diff lock

    When we launched the Disco 2, BMW owned us, I think it may have been a cost cutting exercise, especially as a lot of people would never use it.If you look at any BMW, everything is an optional extra. Ford were the same, Now Tata own us you wouldn't believe how much better the cars are getting.

    current best mail order brake parts&panels

    The first link, make sure they are quality though , They should be 8mm to drill spots correctly. The ones advertised on the ebay link seem to be ok looking at the amount they have sold. Its worth buying one to see how it goes, a quality one should last enough to easily drill out both wheel...

    We call them spot breakers, dwfinately better than a normal drill bit as you dont end up drilling through the skin you want to save

    If the battery has run low, it can cause the 3 amigo's, if its Auto g/box the 3 amigos can cause car to go into a sort of Limp mode e.g. no power
