    I'll be there :D You'll know I've got there by the distinctive absence of fanfare.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Give the nuts on your rear shock mounts a good tightening up. Could also be a bit of prop backlash. Engine off, neutral, handbrake on, give the prop a good twist back and forth and see what you hear. Some free movement is normal, but you want to inspect and grease the UJs there too.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Drive flanges don't tend to clunk. More likely prop or diff backlash, or just a loose shock mount. When does it do it? When taking up the drivetrain, shifting load, or continuously?

    Hi guys, Need your help.

    Looks mint mate. Well worth the money in my book. Bloody daft what these go for. Hate the blue myself, but in that condition I'd have it in a heartbeat if I had the space.

    Length of front flexible brake hoses?

    About a foot. Britpart SS braid are fine, and cheap too.

    Pitted ball replacement on RRC LSE

    As above, never heard a good word said about the teflon ones. Get a pair off someone breaking a disco.

    Disco 1 Aftermarket windscreen?

    Insurance got it. Driving around like I just left a war zone for a month till they can come out, but it's legal, so no worries. Hopefully not too much rain in the mean time. Might get one of them there light bars as a bit of a saver. Any thoughts on that?

    Other Your Username - Where's it from, What does it mean??

    Mine's a bit of fun from a few different places. Vinland was the name given to a place allegedly discovered by Leif Erikson, although it's thought that a bunch of native types had been inhabiting it for some time prior to that, and probably already knew about it. I love me some Vikings, and a...

    Disco 1 Aftermarket windscreen?

    Hello, been a while .. Had some welding done, head gasket, shocks, brakes, whatnot, passed MOT with one advisory item : driver's seat deteriorated. Not bad for an old beater. Anyway, crawling up a cut through on my way home, had a disagreement with a low-hanging tree branch, which turned out to...

    Parts to replace at same time when doing timing belt?

    Crank pulley bolt does come as part of the kit, presumably because they get mangled on the way out. You should do valve clearances when you change the cam belt, so have a set of valve stem caps and seals handy, and it's probably a good time to renew the rest of the belts. Concur if it ain't...

    Series 3 Bought an old chassis and now got a letter from DVLA

    You can ring them up and ask them as a theoretical. In my experience, once you get through they're quite happy to help. I think what I would be asking is "If I buy a chassis with V5, do I need to build the vehicle before I can get a reg for it?" Likely the "donor" was scrapped, so DVLA wants...

    What do you think is this head worth saving?

    Nothing wrong with it. If you've got anything to worry about it's valves.

    Discovery diesel conversion help

    Nah, it was the Asians this time ;) Since they killed the fender line it's now a "timeless classic" instead of a "crusty old workhorse".

    Discovery diesel conversion help

    A year ago that would've been $1500. Don't get me wrong, I love my Disco, but I'd be better off with a fender which I can no longer afford.

    Discovery diesel conversion help

    Might seem reasonable to you, but they just shot up. A year back they were a dime a dozen if you weren't being paid to take them away. With that in mind, importing a fender while you can would be smart, since it can only appreciate.

    Disco 2 Steering noise?

    Take a look at your bump stops. They do have a rubbish turning circle (more like a turning semi-circle) so if it's OK going left the right bump stop might be too far in or even fallen out. I wouldn't worry too much if groaning only happens when stationary. Chances are it's just the tyre...

    Hopefully its the head gasket

    I know exactly what engine you're on about bruh o_O

    Disco 2 Steering noise?

    Where is it coming from? Under the bonnet or outside? Listen with window open/closed. Under the bonnet could be UJs or steering box, outside means swivel pin bearing. Is the wheel centred when going in a straight line? My D1 makes a groaning noise when the vinyl on the wheel and dash rub against...
