    Radio removal tool

    Just a quick update, I eventually decided to buy a new set of radio removal keys off of ebay for a few quid, worked a treat and the radio popped out, although it did require a bit of force to get it to budge. (fingers in the cassette player - if anyone tries this be careful not to apply too much...

    seat covers

    Just to update this thread (I hate to leave a thread dead in it's tracks) I took "shocker's" advice and went to my local automotive store, they sorted me out with a waterproof seat cover for around £24 and it fits nicely in my Disco2. It has Velcro on the sides which is ideal as my seats...

    Fuel Cap Release Missing

    Because I enquired into the reason why he had not fixed it, and he wasn't sure how, and didn't fancy a large garage bill, so I offered to look into it and see what info I could get for him. (he also runs his own business and works part time at the firm I work at, so he isn't short of a few quid...

    Fuel Cap Release Missing

    Hi all, A friend of mine has a disco 2 and has been driving about for a few years with the fuel cap release missing, he reckons it has been like that since he bought it, he also noted that when pressing the fuel release button inside the vehicle it does not make a noise. I'm wondering if the...

    Cb radio / swr meter

    Best road legal replacement bulbs?

    Same here, I had to change mine as I couldn't see where the heck i was going, as the previous owner had fitted bulbs with a very strong blue tint, I would not recommend blue-tinted bulbs! I did start to look into HID kits but with all the faff regarding the new mot regulations (see relevent...

    Snorkels ??

    Ah, ok well that clears up the theory/myth of the "air ram effect", I heard a few people talking about it once, guessing they got confused with the word "air ram" and made their own theory up.. thanks for the info, one thing to strike off the comparison list.

    Snorkels ??

    I'm curious too. The mushroom type (enclosed top) snorkels such as the Mantec snorkels vs the forward facing (scoop type) snorkels such as Safari/southdown.. few things I have been looking into but can not find a definate answer. Regarding water separation, I noticed the safari ones...

    Landrover vandalised

    :mad: ***! defiantly sounds personal, A motion sensor light tends to freak people out if it's on his drive, its catching the little ** that's the problem, might be worth him investing in some sort of cctv system that records, I kept getting marks/dents in my peugeot 205 (years ago), I setup a...

    Portable Air Compressor

    I agree, this is a brilliant air compressor, I invested in one after reading some reviews, I used to mess about with the 12v cigarette powered compressors which struggle with bumping a bike tyre up, :p I got fed up with replacing them as they wore out too quickly. (Tbh, this is probably over...

    Ok, well I got to admit that looks nice!! :cool: Something tells me its going to be expensive though.. any idea who sells these in the UK? True, True.. Only reason I was avoiding the idea of drilling of holes is that the brit part sales man advised me not to due to the bumpers being powder...

    Just wondering what everyone's opinions are on this bumper, it seems to be ideal (ok you lose the headlight washers but i'm guessing that's not something to be overly concerned about) It seems to blend in with the vehicle better than some I have seen, looks practical and has the bonus of having...

    Usualy I would but he/she was driving a tad slow prior to turning off, completely caught me out when they suddenly stopped! :confused: (lesson learned, give these idiots plenty of space!).. main thing is that no one is hurt, few bent peices of metal and plastics can be repaired - shame about my...

    Oddly enough thats what the land rover parts dealer recommended :rolleyes: Food for thought..

    knew I could count on you lot for sympathy :p Tbh, it's not a road you want to stop on (very small slip road), it's a weird junction setup, been quite a few accidents over the years, I just didnt expect the Landy to slide that far, o well.. lesson learned :(

    I can't believe it, just my b** luck! :( Finished a night shift this morning, got home did a few jobs, jumped in the Landy to go to town to get a few parts (only £20) worth of kit, following two cars, the one in front must have been a complete idiot, heavy braking on the slightest of corners...
