Thank you. That’s exactly what I needed to know. Not the first time I’ve benefited from your encyclopaedic knowledge!

Hi all, Looking for the correct part number for a Discovery 1 manual tilt and slide sunroof seal. First, a bit of background - I've had the odd drip coming through the front sunroof winder for ages. Whilst I've read all the endless threads on how to fix the sunroof, I felt that the glass...

Just hope and desperation really. Not sure how I'm going to come across one.

Hi all, When swapping my dash last year I messed up the cable which is attached to the back of the centre dial on the heater controls (the one which changes where the air comes out of) and it has gradually got more and more bent to the point that you can't really change the direction of the air...

Thanks both. The alternative size looks like it has potential :D

Hi all, Following a puncture on one of my road tyres (25,000 miles I've been willing them to go, so I can get All Terrains!) I was wondering if the General Grabber AT3 is sold in 235/70/R16? As I can't find it anywhere. Links would be appreciated! I've done a bit of research on alternative...

Cool, I may well give that a go. Should probably sort the leaking sunroof, broken window regulator and two door lock springs on my Discovery first :p

Nice, Is there a guide anywhere? That would be so nice to have.

That would be so nice! I didn't realise you could get them on a remote. I presume it's a rare option which is hard to find and mega expensive these days? I'm not sure what the poor fuel economy is down to - runs like a dream, just like it always has!

Ok - so it's not really going to cause any noticeable difference in MPG. Thanks!

Thanks both. I'll keep an eye on it to see how it behaves. I don't think it comes on above 5c, but it certainly seems to run all the time when it's below 5c, even when the car has warmed up - maybe it is cycling on and off as you say

Hi all, I've been using my mum's '05 Freelander TD4 HSE quite a lot lately. The fuel burning heater has started coming on as normal since the winter started, however it never seems to switch off, even after a couple of hours running it will still be going. From the research I've done, it seems...

Quick update - Happy New Year to you all. Had a few issues present themselves in the last month or so. My tailgate lock spring must have snapped as it won't open without turning the key in the lock. The left rear door is also doing this occasionally. I've replaced a lock spring in the right...

I think I'd rather do as you did and buy one without LPG, then get the conversion done properly once I had it if I wanted to. The sound of it has to be the best thing! I've always had a fast modern petrol car and the Discovery for the weekend, tip runs, towing, green laning etc. I got a bit...

Lovely looking motor. Very much considering a D2 V8 to go alongside my TDI at some point - diesel just doesn't quite do it for me ;) Is yours on LPG? I'm curious to find out about it, as I don't think i'd ever dare drive a V8 on petrol!
