So i got in touch with Jamie (Adrian Flux rep) and he spoke to customer service and they reduced my £187 fee to £92. Ive paid it and they have sent me proof of my no claims. Im still not going back to them but i appreciate what he did. Alasdair

I have just had Adrian Flux cancel my insurance policy. I was with them for a year paying monthly and it came to renewal time, I work abroad alot and often have no internet access so when i returned to find they had cancelled my policy rather than rolling on to the following year i was a little...

I have these fitted to my disco.......also!

Got the plus 2" es 9000's on my disco married to bearmach springs and havent had any issues, i do get a bit of prop shaft vibration at about 30mph though.

Right, managed to fix it. Was a number of things. Checked the dizzy cap and the connection to plug 1 was correded to **** so swapped out the dizzy cap for another one i had kicking about, put a new rotor arm in aswell as the old one just looked a bit old, still wouldnt start, checked all the...

Cheers Will do. Great advice guys Really useful

Hey guys Big development, just tried to take it for a drive and it started fine but as i was pulling out the drive it stalled and now wont start. Turned it over in the dark and the coil is arcing constantly. So f**k all power getting to the dizzy then! Cheers for the ideas, didnt realise a...

Hey guys, strange one here, my ignition coil is creating a blue spark that jumps between the main body, specifically the cone that the lead plugs on to, and the positive terminal. If i start it up it is fine for about 30 seconds then i hear this ticking and you can see the spark i was talking...

I did a 2" lift on my 95 V8 Disco a couple of months back and i havent changed my propshafts. Essentially its fine but when i take my foot off the go pedal i get a bit of a rattle from the them. Im gonna try changing the rubber doughnuts and see if this makes a difference but my mate did the...

Right! As i suspected, failed on exhaust (really bad leaks) so im thinking about replacing the whole lot! I have found a good system on rimmer bros but i will need new cats as it is a 95 and its done 100K so i really doubt it will pass emissions without them! Ive found a full Y pipe with cats...

Hey guys Just sent my 3.9 Disco for its MOT and im failry confident in everyhting apart form the exhaust which has a bit of a hole on the back box and a nasty intermittent rattle coming from the cat. I was thinking about upgrading to a tuned stainless system at some point anyway (need some...

Yeah, general concensus is that the V8's dont hugely enjoy running on gas and for the price of a gas conversion you can send it to Armson Auto Enginieers (google him) and for the price of a gas conversion he can have it doing the best part of 25 mpg. Witht the way gas is going it wont be worth...

Well the 3.9 ive bought ahs done about 130,000 miles and has always been run on petrol so should be ok.....should be! Ill get it checked out properly before i do anything then but looks like the 3.9 might be the way to go! Wont give up onh the 3.5 though, may as well get it running sweet, no...

Hey guys, really good stuff here now, exactly what i was after! So the general idea is that the 3.9 is just a better engine and by the sounds of things, cheaper to run if you get it running nicely! Sounds like it would be worth doing the conversion then! How hard is it to do a full rebuild...
