Don't fret my 52 plate needed a crossmember last year. I paid £600 for the job including the part. You pats for what you get and mine was a superb job.

Hi, if anyone can shed some light on a rattle I have (sounds like a resononce of a heat sheild) I have checked everything that could be loose and even changed the front and mid sections of the exhaust as I thought the cat or baffles had gone but this made no difference. Upgarded to a straight...

Hi, two things have appeared this month on my 99 auto. The first is the mode button has stopped working ( the light on the dash lights up on start up but no mode fucntion) and i have just noticed it won't go into first? I have taken the cover off and the last notch it is in indcates it's in 2nd...

Going to swap these out this weekend as dragging its bum and the compressor is not making any attempt to help. Second repair to the system so gonna junk it. Any one got any advice or is it a simple affair? Should i just work through removing everything? I have a set of HD disco 1 springs in the...

HI, my D2 is getting the conversion at the weekend as dragging it's bum around this weekend and can't be bothered repairing again. Just brought two HD rear springs and 2 top spacer things and the two base plates. Cost 56 squid verses 90 if you buy the same parts as a "kit" ....? My local chap...

Thanks all, really impressed with the replies. A twin axle trailer is the best bet for me then but if I am to do that would a fully loaded 110 station wagon on the trailer be over 3.5 tons? ( I assume that is my limit using my 110 or disco?) Thanks again all.

Hi, I am trying to establish if it is legal to tow a 110 with a 110 on a 3.5 tonne rated A frame? It would save a buying a trailer and a see a 110 on it's own wheels has got to be better than on a trailer. A good 110 brakes would cope. Help..... I spotted this on ebay 150410550068 would it do...

Job done. def better pick up. Thanks for the"state the obvious" answers most useful.....

Hi, do these make a differance? I have blanked off the ERG in th Disco, tweaked the fuelling and fitted a decent filter but she still is a bit sluggish compared to my 300 90 with the same done ( only differance is the 90 has no cat) so is this the cure to remove it in favour of the straight...

Hi all. Just a small problem (i hope) this time. Bertie is running lovely and did over 1500 miles last month but i have noticed the temp nearly in the red on long uphill sections. so..... I flushed the system and because i had a new spare water pump i fitted one and a new thermostat. Result, not...

Hi, only a small issue but the wiper arms now stop mid screen when you turn them off. They do the normal return when you turn them off but spring back up to the middle. Going to have a look this weekend but any advice to save me breaking thing further? Cheers all.

Can anyone advise on a second gear that feels like it doesn't engage properly and jumps out when you come off the power? It also whines a bit when it goes into second but does drive ok? series 3 1971 diesel. 1st 3rd and 4th are all fine. Many thanks
