when the lez came into force. i was going to have to pay the daily £100 charge for my 7 seat caravelle. this is because it said `minibus` on the log book. i rang up dvla and asked them to put the number `7` on the log book so that i would not have to pay the charge. they did do this, but only...

been a while since I had my pump out. so not sure which way round I did it. either put the rubber gasket on the pump OR put it on the tank hole. one way is bloody difficult. the other easy.

i reckon theres quite a few of us on here that are not mechanics. but with this forum to help. you can do a lot of jobs yourself. save a few bob and have the satisfaction of knowing the job HAS been done.

I found dvla to be very helpful. I have a vw caravelle. it said minibus on the v5. so I was liable for the charge. I rang dvla and said that when I bought the car it had 7 seats. so could they put the number 7 on my v5. below 9 seats, there is no charge. they even did the donkey work on my...

so what exactly is wrong with your engine? you not tempted to get a 2nd opinion?

if I was looking at a d2 I wanted, and it was cheap because of either engine or chassis problems. I`d rather have it with the engine problem.

puch maxi. my very first motorbike. faster than my pushbike, but got blown off by fizzies and ap`s.:D

this year I`m with the rac. £101 for me and the wife. this is personal cover, so any car/bike we are in/on. this is to basically get the car back home or to a garage. I generally have to threaten to leave them every year so as to keep the price down.

I`ve had 750kg in the boot of my td5 with air suspension.

had my turbo and manifold off recently. plenty of penetrating fluid. and make sure your sockets/spanners are square on the nuts. as I loosened each one I did it back up again before starting on the next one. good luck.

that was a fantastic thread. pictures say so many words. and very relevant for me as I also have a d2......... which I`m sure in time will need something similar. well done that man.:)

I got a hawkeye for my td5 disco. the other day I used the hawkeye to help out a fellow member with a td5 defender. lots of faults came up, i,e, aircon. he said his defender did not have aircon. so maybe the hawkeye just looks for every thing that the td5 has, unless told otherwise, i,e, by...

looking forward to seeing how this goes. some of my vmc mates are running tuned side valve engines.

from what I was reading the other day. its possibly electronic. I.e. theres a warning light or dial/gauge to let you know the level.

the august issue of landrover owner international are doing an article on buying a used disco3. a fantastic vehicle they say, but can be very expensive to do jobs that would be diy on an earlier disco.

not 100% certain of this. but some egr`s are watercooled. I think later d2`s. probably what op is on about.

opinions I agree with. my viscous fan has recently packed up. i.e it spins all the time, and I`ve got some slop on the fan. so do need to replace it. so I had thought about searching for a fan that is fixed. i.e no viscous, just spins all the time. just like on a Honda cx500 motorbike. don't...

got me thinking whilst driving around this morning. if you bought a used car that had been subject to a recall that you were unaware of. then you needed to make an insurance claim for what ever reason. could the insurance company use this as an excuse to with hold payment?
