    Towbar Bolts

    Hi all, I have got hold of a second hand genuine tow-bar for my disco2 (P/N STC 50289) the only problem is it didn't come with any bolts :( I was wondering if someone could help by telling me what bolts are required to fit it to the car. Thanks in advance

    Problems after BIG puddle

    Thanks for the info, downloading the software would be a great way forward, can someone tell me where to get it? or indeed what it's called? so you think that TD5 is OBDII, so can I buy a code reader and just plug it in? as I believe that people have had problems trying to do it? I just don't...

    Oil cooler pipes

    It's a strange one right enough, I have had a look at where the separated and their is no sign of corrosion! It's just the swage that's let go. I am going to change the filter when it's empty anyway, I would not have thought that air would have been a problem due to the fact that the fluid is...

    few minor things i wanna check if there normal

    I agree with Jamesmartins comment. The reason for the judder may be the fact that the the handbrake grabs the prop shaft (I think from memory) and their will be backlash in the transfer box and diff's before it stops the wheels.

    Why different tire sizes?

    I understand what ACE is (thanks for the explanation anyway) so the reason for the different tire widths is to do with costs? I was thinking that it was to do with more grip in the road? hence the thought about ACE. my mate has the narrower tire and no ACE I have the wider tire and have ACE. I...
