Funnily enough, I've just come back inside after gluing the side clip. The cluster is a lot more solid - for now! The top plate is beyond saving, but it's been fine for as long as I've owned the vehicle and presumably a long while before that. No idea when the side clip snapped...

I only remember metric money. The sixpence = five ha'penny sweets. Explain that to someone these days. It was qualifications, but I failed one of the eight tests and have to wait 6 months until I can take it again. Ho hum... I came home and fitted the air spring. Unfortunately, the bolts...

We're just down the road from Hull - 30 miles, anyway. Coincidentally, I read The Story of a Stanley Steamer a few months ago. Looking at it logically, it's probably the nearside height sensor. I've never had a problem with the offside. I'll regret that statement and not going for the coil...

I was brought up with pounds, ounces, feet and inches, but now operate in a two simultaneous worlds, where I communicate both my colleagues (old money) and my children (new). I was on a train (another obsession) the other week and got talking to a chap who was coming up to Yorkshire to view a...

Funnily enough, I've just been Googling torque wrenches that go to down to 6 Nm. Before the blowout, was looking at an old Station Wagon. Bloody Landies! :D

Only when replying to you! ;)

I've never heard of "a full set of sandwiches" before. Brilliant, thank you.

Much appreciated all. I might order the bits shortly, just a little reticent to do the sensors myself. I read somewhere (cannot find it now) that someone struggled to get the screws out (or whatever they are) that hold the sensor in place. I don't have specialist tools or a full set of...

Hi, I've been the proud owner of an 03 plate Discover 2 TD5 Facelift for a couple of years. 6 months or so ago, the rear suspension all of a sudden became very hard and a couple of minutes later, the passenger/near side air spring blew. I changed the air spring myself - I was briefly quite...

Thanks for that. My question wasn't the pass/fail (apparently it's a pass - at the moment) more the issue of how urgent the work is at a time when I'm financially stretched. I'm no welder, so I'll go ahead with my local garage.

Hi all, I've had my 2003 Discovery 2 TD5 for about 9 months and have been getting on top of what I can handle and involving the professionals for the things I can't. The front inner wheel arches have deteriorated badly and you can now put a key through them. My local garage who aren't a Land...

A postscript... Despite having the same part number, the original and replacement halves of the switch are slightly different. Having reunited all of the replacement switch with the original housing, both the LED and levelling now work. The only other thing to mention is that the springs on...

I couldn't help myself, fuse 3 it is, thank you! Now the switch lights up, but the levelling no longer works. I will have another play in the morning, maybe a dirty contact, I've already checked fuses 11 and 33. I did look at this and the part number is YUK000020PUY. As it happens, you can...

Brilliant, f3 does seem a likely candidate, or more worryingly for me, a wire going to or from it!

I've got that as LH headlamp-high beam. Will do and I'll end up doing a full dash fuse check if it's not f3, f5 or f20 (or f11 and f33 already tested).
