Thanks for the reply Anaconda. I've got a 2014 puma plus a an L322 that I'll need a diagnostic tool for to include key coding so is there a particular brand that is worth looking at other than Icarsoft?

Hi I'm currently messing around with a TD5 defender that has been stood for a number of years due to it not starting (or firing) because of a fuel issue. I've powered it up and the pump runs and delivers fuel up to the regulator on the head. I've had a look at the ECU and there is some oil on...

Thanks for the info folks. I've got a battery but my ****y portable machine mart brake pipe flaring tool wouldn't touch the OE steel lines so I've not got round to bleeding it yet. Picked up a blue point hydraulic flaring tool last night so hopefully that will be man enough to flare the steel...

Thanks for the replies guys. Thanks for the doc links Marjon, thats really useful, as is the info about the manual on FullfatRR. I've made a start on putting it back together today, hopefully I should get it ready to bleed tomorrow. The battery is flat and won't accept a charge so I'll have to...

Due to the sudden death of a friend I have inherited a 2011 RR autobiography ultimate which is parked on a 4 post lift with no front brake pipes He had quite a lot of vehicles so parked this up to swap the corroded front discs (lack of use) and decided to change the brake lines at the same...

Thanks guy's, I'll check those areas tomorrow when I'm off work.

I've got an early 200tdi disco which up untill recently has been faultless and started immediately with or without heat as all myother tdi's have done. It now takes a few seconds of cranking to fire, a situation that seemed to have materialised pretty much over night. Filters are all ok and...

cool, more good info. Thanks Hughesy. It's starting to sound a bit easier than I envisaged which is always a bonus.

Thanks Blue beasty, thats good to know. It won't really be used for off-roading per se, just pulling a trailer occasionally and ferrying people and dogs around on a farm.

Thanks for that james, I take it you are keeping the series transmission then? I was wondering if it was possible to graft the LT77 in with disco transferbox for relaxed cruising:cool:

Hi I'm looking at buying a lightweight, I think it'll be aseries 3? It's a non runner thats been parked up for a couple of years, it's very tatty but looks all there. Axles look about rotten but it's on a mint galvanised chassis. Any pointers to a rough valuation would be much appreciated. If...

Are the wheels absolutely flush on the hub? I've seen wheels that should fit be held off the hub by a mil or so by the halfshaft securing bolts fouling the inside of the wheel. Taking the spring loaded washers off the halfshaft securing bolts gave enough clearance to allow the wheel to sit...

Thanks for all the info guys. When I set to I've managed to adjust most of the play out, if it gets any worse I'll give adwest a call;) Cheers Sean

Have you got new front turret securing rings with the captive studs? Chances are they'll neck off when you undo them if they're tight and corroded. New ones make stripping it all back down easy if you need to alter something too. New spring securing/retention brackets arent a bad idea too...

Tis 92 disco 1. Without looking I think it's the 4 bolt box
