Sorted it. Drove it back and forth a little in Low with diff lock on then off.

Hullo, Got my Disco back after the MOT, garage closed for Xmas just after I picked it up. The Diff Lock light is on, 2nd gear is juddery and reversing is grating/grinding. Is it just a matter of wound up transmission? How do I fix this? I don't want to have to wait until the New Year to...

I bought electric seats for my disco without thinking about switches/wiring. The new MOT saw me planning to wire them up to a wing mirror switch, but it was u/s. I only wired up the driver side to a 2 way switch for forwards/backwards, powered by a feed from one of the window switches. Must...

Finally got the bolts out! In the end I had to use a hammer and chisel to break off the housing around the bolt, then use Irwin bolt grip on the remaining stump. The final bolt looked like it had been bent before it was screwed in originally. That was fun! :mad:

Can't hammer them on without removing the radiator! Tried tapping them on with the small amount of swing I can get to them, but to no avail.

Trying to get the water pump off after it failed. All the bolts are out bar the bottom two long bolts which are stuck solid. I've snapped a spanner, split a hex bit and finally, rounded the ends off. I bought a set of Irwin bolt grips and they have been of sod all help.:mad: Any advice...

The Series 2a Owners Manual, and various LR adverts for the Series 2 and 2a have it as Land-Rover throughout. The Series 3 parts manual has Land Rover. So mine's a Land-Rover (mostly).

Still working on the fuel issue. I suspect I'm going to have to drain the system. In the meantime I've ripped out all the crap and de-badged the front. I'll pop those badges in the post probably tomorrow. I filled 6 bin bags with crap. Next step will be to remove the seats (which I don't...

Yesterday it drove 185 miles with no problems (once I'd worked out this new fangled overdrive thing). Today it went a grand total of 1 mile. In 6 stages. The fuel priming pump has perished and was letting air into the system. I've bypassed it and will get a replacement tomorrow. However the...

digbymole: 1. I don't know if it works mind. 2. Make me an offer!

Hopefully I'll get it jet washed tomorrow and rip out the crap.

Picking her up tomorrow. Pretty much the entire brake system has been replaced!

No; you want it?
