:) :) Thanks for the tips guys! I popped into the motor spares shop and picked up a new H4 head. Cut the wires, soldered them on with a heat shrink shield over the solder and hey presto - lights are functioning 100% now! Next problem... bought a 28mm head for my torque wrench to take out the...

Thanks all I took a look and the plug is indeed screwed behind the one that doesn't go full beam. I'll have to try a temporary fix to get it through the MOT. The plastic is all melted but the spade connectors seemed fine (although a bit corroded). I'll take a look in the light and report back...

Hi all Got a funny thing going on with my headlights. (1991 3.5 v8) The dipped headlights and main beam seem to work fine, although when I'm on main beam I've got the blue headlight on the dash dimly lit. Is that right? I can flash the lights fine and the blue headlight on the dash goes...

The only thing that would scare me is that it seems like it has some electrical problems with the lights. Only a fool would take a car for an MOT without testing that the lights work at least!

That's what they all say. I put petrol in a brand new company car merc by mistake once. It already had a 1/4ths tank of diesel in there and I topped it with unleaded. I drove it for about 300 miles and then it started to judder. Called up the mercedes breakdown and the bloke asked me if I put...

Thanks!!!

Thanks both! Do you know the part number for the split pin older style brake pads? I type in my reg number in different sites and it keeps bringing back the newer style brake pads with the solid pins.

Hi all, I'm looking to replace my front brake pads on my 1991 Discovery 3.5 v8 as the brake warning light has just come on (and got an MOT next month!). Could do with some help here as I am pretty confused! I've taken a look and it looks like the retaining clips in the current front...

Hi all, I picked up an old classic Land Rover Discovery 1 (1991) a few weeks ago with the intention of just using it to take to the dump and back... Accidentally I have kind of fallen in love with it so am starting to fix her up for her impeding MOT towards the end of July! I've been...
