Ah, so if its under pressure it can be faulty hose or master cylinder? Thanks. I have also come across this: Seal Kit - Caliper Rear - Genuine Land Rover at www.rimmerbros.co.uk Would it be worth servicing the pistons with this kit while I have everything stripped? How easy is it to get...

Ok, now its just sticking all the time. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Im not going to get time to strip the brakes today, maybe early evening. Then I can get a better idea of why its sticking now. I took a little drive to the post office yesterday and when we arrived there (1 - 2 miles)...

Well, Im more interested to hear about peoples experiences or advice regarding building your own rack, than actually making a business out of it. Im sure a small fabrication firm could make it more financially viable than me. If someone happened to want one, should I make a decent one, then...

Hmmm, was hoping I could avoid cylinder issues. Ok, is there anyway of testing the master cylinder? I mean, a test to ensure its the cylinder at fault rather than something else? I was just reading about the brake lines collapsing inside too, anyone know the best way to test this? Or the do my...

Im having a problem and I wonder what you guys think. I was driving my Disco, a 2000 TD5 GS, the other night and could smell something hot and/or burning. I pulled over and my rear drivers brake was smoking. Clearly the pads were holding the disc and with a few cracks of a hammer freed it up to...

PMSL! True.:D Fortunately, I live away from town with the robbing scutters and pikeys and live in the sticks with all the inbred folks. Honestly, the worst things on the monthly crime report I get , were "wing mirror smashed" and "litter left on road". Seriously. Oh, we did have a £60,000...

Right, Ive decided I cant afford a Safety Devices roof rack, so Im going to make one. When I first saw Urban Panzer's Disco, I fell in love with it, and the roof rack too (dont get me started on his ARB bumper/winch setup)! Anyway, Im quite good at this fabricating malarcky, but my Dad is even...

You aint the only one. Ive just renewed at £850 with Adrian Flux. Best I could get after shopping around for days. Im 30, no speeding points, live in an area with a crime rate of "somebody has dropped some litter....." and have never had a claim in my life. Plus, thats 'second car' insurance...

Right, it just happened to me. Kind of. I have just had my MOT this morning, passed with flying colours. The MOT tester's actual words: "...thats the best Land Rover, of that year, Ive seen in ages, great bodywork and chassis - make sure you get that cleaned and waxoyled soon and you'll get...

One problem when you stop for someone and do a minor fix to get them on their way, is when you get a dumb male, you know the type, with his lady. Im a plumber by trade and its always the same, if you fix something in front of a woman and her partner, most of the time he will be emasculated by...

Its not about the beef. Clearly you miss the point of the statement. I think its a brilliant point. Ive worked alot in the LR, and Jaguar, factories. Ive fitted machinery on the line of every model of LR for the last 16 years. Ive also worked at Nissan in Sunderland and a couple of other Jap...

that made me proper lol :D I genuinely do stop and help whenever there is clearly a problem - flat tyre, steam/smoke/fire, or just bad location, ie a roundabout. But whenever I have stopped, they have always said they have been there a while. One woman was clearly 8 months pregnant, on the...

Anyone on here close to you? www.discovery2.co.uk/ Nanocom Locator, get help from your Land Rover Buddies!!! As usual, Nick comes to the rescue!

yeah, thats the about the only advantage of living around here. Being near the main roads means the minute the sunshine appears, so do the awesome cars. From dirty great monster hot rods to jap supercars, everyone goes to santa pod. Im guilty of a few Bug Jams, but Id go again, its a great weekend.

Im always a man of lots of words. I honestly dont know what to say. First of all thankyou. Secondly, the weekend is yours. All plans can and have been cleared. You can have any time at all Saturday or Sunday. Whatever time is most convenient to you. You have a pm with my details. Yes, new...
