    Sunroof Disco

    WEBASCO are the factory fitted sunroofs on the early Disco (mine's a '97). If you have an after sales sunroof fitted by Landy dealers it will probably also be a WEBASCO but a different model. To identify your sunroof - if you need to replace the glass :) - look at the reference number on the...

    Hi all, I have a Disco 97 with a shattered front sunroof. I'm trying to get a replacement glass fitted (under insurance cover) but nobody has a clue where to get one that fits with the correct screws.(I'm in France) UK landrover can't help, and various French Land Rover garages don't have...

    Sunroof fittings?

    I've just had a front sunroof shatter so I took it in (under insurance cover)for a replacement. Unfortunately, the fittings on the supplied replacement are different, though the glass is the correct size. It's a '97 Disco 3 door with front & rear sunroofs. Anyone else had this problem? I'm...

    Diff lock light

    I've just had a replacement gearbox and transfer box on my Disco, but the diff-lock light doesn't operate. I'm told the switch on the transfer box needs to be adjusted when the difflock is engaged - so the switch is turned until the dash light illuminates, then the lock-nut tightens it in...

    More seat stuff..

    Sorry guys, can you help? I have a Disco '97 three door. The driver's seat is kaput, but the base and tilt mechanism are fine. Is/are there any seats from other vehicles that will fit the runners or is it the usual land rover botch job?

    Coping with "real" snow

    I'm living in an area which is likely to have some heavy snow for the next few months.. At present I have mixed tread tyres on my 97 Disco but I'm curious to know if 100% snow tyres, or, snow chains are more functional. Apart from the slight inconvenience of having to mount/remove the chains...

    Driver seat

    Apart from the oil pressure being an issue (thanks for the help) I have a dodgy seat: the back doesn't stay completely upright when adjusted.I think it has a buggered back adjuster knob at the base. Is there a DIY way of reuilding the seat ? If not, is there a ball-park cost for a second hand...

    Oil warning light?

    I've had various glitches with my Landy since I've bought it, (lift pump, fuel pump isolator, driver's seat collapse) and, being stuck in the middle of France, it's been a bit of a bugger at times. However, the damned thing has been a blessing, and it's the first time I've owned a vehicle that...

    Alternator

    Is there any benefit in having a different alternator if you are towing a caravan with a Discovery? Does the extra output to the internal caravan (twin electrics) electrics make any real difference?
