..to work. I knew that would get some peoples attention!!! ;) About a year ago when I bought my Def 90, it came with a very soft effeminate horn. I even posted on here about it. I did buy a new horn off ebay but it was a 6 button multiple choice thing that had to be dash mounted and I didnt...

I`m so f***in` jealous of your lovely orange 90, W L ;) I nearly had one but his gearbox was shot so didnt buy it an got a white one instead. Maybe one day! Re your farmjack mounting.......Is it kept mounted there just when your using it, and taken off when parked up? I`m thinking security from...

Cheers Ratty, one and all.

I nearly opened myself to a whole world of flaming from the intolerant on here the other day :eek:...............and deservedly so. The clutch pedal on my 90 has always travelled a long way, almost to the floor before biting, but worked ok. More recently a bit more travel and the odd clunk...

Hmm, I can`t count. Its a `96 therefore 14 yrs old. The belches are instant then stop after couple seconds, Ratty. MrJC the EGR has been blanked off, possibly never had one. Is that possible, did they come from the factory blanked? Mudhunter, to answer your question, I`m not sure if its always...

I expect a degree of black smoke to belch out on start up, it is a 12 year old diesel after all, which is otherwise running really well. However, I also get it belching out when I put my foot down to accelerate. Is this also to be expected? Or is it just running rich? Can I adjust it without...

This turned out to be the rear, rear propshaft u/j seized and getting very hot. :eek: Replaced and is now fine, (and quiet) :)

Can confirm there is no lead sled Orm :) kwhajh....how did it progress? Time scale and other symptoms please.

In the last week my 90 has started making loud, graunching noises. It comes from underneath from mid to rear of vehicle. It is fine, (no noise) when under power, but as soon as I decelerate and get into engine braking/ just taking foot off the pedal, the noise comes in. It comes in at around...

Hi Disco1 owners. Just a quick heads up of some Disco1 parts up for sale. More details in the For Sale section. Cheers.

Just fitted new handles and locks to the 90. Brilliant, what a difference. It was a pig to do, bolts inside the door holding the handle had to be drilled out, but got there in the end. The bad!! I saw just how badly the doors have rotted on the inside. :eek: And they look so good on the outside...

My mate in Norwich is about to have his ECU remapped by JE Engineering. Not sure where they are but he wont travel too far so will be around Norfolk/Suffolk I would think. He seems to think he`ll have 170bhp!, afterwards.

Cheers paul c

Thats an excellent response guys, and very helpful. Thanx a lot.

Good point. I havent done a full replacement, but I have topped up and it still looks clean and healthy! Is that a reliable indicator?

Now, bear in mind my 90 has just passed its MOT. I have also, during normal driving, had no issue with the brakes which have worked fine. However, the other day, I had to emergency brake to avoid the car in front. And I very nearly didnt make it :eek:. A second similar incident a few days later...

Thanx robint.......good advice I will pass on. Mystery.....thanx for the info. It means very little to me, but I know someone who can decipher and hopefully download what we need. If I tried to `burn` anything, I would crash and burn! :) Thanx to you also.

My mate has just taken delivery of a MOT failure`96 Disco 1 300tdi which will be the donor vehicle of many good bits for his beloved `89 Def 90. First he is stripping down the Def and, with a galvanised chassis, will rebuild from the ground up. Electronics being his weak point, he has asked me...

Therein lies the problem James. I came from a modern sports car to my Landy. I need to recalibrate my brain to slower, even when I want to `nip in`, in heavy traffic. :doh:
