Hi everyone looking for a replacement alternator as my one has given up, going on an early 300tdi disco but must be the 100amp version as ex mod vehicle. Thanks, Tom

The M6 have manned toll booths as well so that should stop the problem.

Hi everyone I am looking for a set of 4 part worn tyres to go on on my discovery would prefer 245/70/16s. A/T would be great but M/Ts will be fine as long as not too aggresive as do a lot of road miles. Can arrange a courier to collect but closer to Stevenage, Hertfordshire the better. Many...

That is some quality bull **** you are trying to convince yourself with. Its not likely you will crash your first car. Its about 1 in 5 drivers who crash in their first year so you have a bout 80% chance of not crashing. (forgetting all the other variables) The thick end of 2k is alot of money...

We pull our 15ton steam roller out of the shed with our manual TDI discos regularly, that is on concrete and slightly up hill. I think you weak link might be the auto gearbox only because it might not transfer the power to the wheels.

Now sold, going to its new home on sunday. Thanks for the interest.

Well as i got to over 50 posts now I can spam you all with my landrover rubbish... i mean quality goods. Only joking but my brother has decided to part with his series 3 as he has bought a discovery and realised a working heater and the ability to go over 55mph is a good idea so giving up with...

Only the ones you wouldnt trust with a mobilty scooter let alone a Volvo T5 ;)

My dad used to be a traffic officer and even before the specific laws on mobile phones come in he used to do people on mobile phones and radio handsets for driving with undue care and attention. His argument was always they need two hands to drive and if talking on radio werent fully...

I think your worrying too much about nothing, i just put 35psi in all round as its easy to remember. I cant see how having muds different pressure to road tyres would make any difference. Only time i push them up a bit is if i know i have a full car and towing.

Dr evil will be along very soon

If the disco is new to you I would spend an afternoon and give it a good service, new oils in engine, gearbox and diffs, and replace all the filters air, fuel, oil. While you have the tools out order a new lift pump and EGR blanking kit and fit those. Check all the turbo and intercooler hoses...

what size tyres can you fit on that???

£800 worth of 1.2 renault clio for my first car, insurance was around £1500 mark. I am 23 now so that was 6 years ago. After 2 years I then started buying the faster, bigger cars and my insurance was never over £1000. I personally try and spend as little as possible on insurance just because i...

Did mine a couple of weeks ago and the difference is amazing it can actually keep up with the traffic. I use my disco for towing quite a lot and this is where i have really noticed the difference. Thanks for the pics and explanation.

i think he wants to put a 300tdi engine into a D2 not put a TD5 in a D1

Did you ask her to do so you had a good excuse to paint it camo?? One of my friends had a reputation for being bit of a thicko. One of his punishments was to clean his dads brand new car which was a few weeks old so he got down to it and his dad was really happy until he walked round the front...

1 strap per wheel is the way to go and if you have time to get yourself some of the short strap link things for the wheels makes it a really easy job. Just gives you that piece of mind and i think if for any reason your pulled over by plod they will prefer it like that. Strap to wheels and...

A good friend of mine had a SWB petrol 2a and towed his caravan with that to be honest unless there was a strong head wind it didnt seem to make much difference. it was always slow.
