Buy a Haynes manual and a set of spanners and do it yourself. It's not truly yours until you've got it's juice under your nails and up to your elbows!

Anyone up for a bit of Dorset laning this week? I'm not planning on doing 'too' much work and would be up for getting a little muddy if anyone's around. Otherwise, how about a day after New Years Day bash? Once the hangovers have subsided a wee bit. :o

I found these guys to be the cheapest for Numax batteries, delivered next day for free n'all. Manbat - UK Battery Distributor Numax, Varta

Count me in!

Has yours got a comfy handle as well? :rolleyes:

I got one of those last year when it got cold and me old battery gave up, and it's been tops! It's got a comfy handle n'all!

Me? Patronising? As if! Re-reading your first post it does sound like you had the sticky throttle problem before you lost power... Sorry if I got it wrong. In my uninformed opinion I'd say most likely is a problem with the throttle cable [as Roj suggested], now it's shifted and so keeps the...

Mine always sits on 1/3 - I get worried if it gets any higher. It's not broke, don't bother trying to fix it.

Here, beast, who won the pasty making championships this year? Eh, eh, eh? :rolleyes: Oh, and the zoidur I help make won the championship best cider at show at the Bath and west show this year.:cool: Stick dem in yer clay pipe and smoke em, k? :D

I find it faintly amusing that you know that there's a problem with your throttle cable, which 'kind of' controls how the engine runs, but before replacing it you choose to do all this to try and isolate the problem. How much did that little lot set you back? I'd suggest you replace the...

I've been let back into the West Country after 9 months of exile in the NE of Scotland. Silly West Countriens! Little do they know that I haven't leant to change my ways. Looking forward to going out and getting muddy again - anyone up for some Chrimble runs?

Oi-oi

Kinnel, how did he manage to spend £6,500 on building that? Answers on a postcard. Note, "cash only".

I'm back from the land of Scotts and feel the need to get my Disco muddy - is there room for one more?

I'm driving down to Dorset from Scotland next week, via Newcastle. Could them pick them up for yer if you want.

I was pulling out of my drive on Friday and noticed that the clutch pedal on me 300TDi was feeling a bit on the stiff side - a bit like I was pressing the brake pedal with my left foot. Being in a rush and not thinking I stamped on it a bit harder and with a *crack* it went straight to the...

It was the head gasket, although it is worth checking all of the coolant hoses before doing it - especially the micro breather pipes that go from the header tank to the rad and stat housing before taking the head off. There's a Y piece that join the little hoses together which was blocked on...

As per the title, I'm travelling from Stonehaven (south of Aberdeen) to Dorset at the beginning of October and back again at the end of the month. (It be zoidur making season then, then). I'll be driving my Disco with just a few tools in it so loads of space and a big roof rack. And a tow bar...

Ooopsie, did that yesterday. Although the Disco was full to the brim with my crap. I should post a note about my return trip....

Aw mate, I'm sorely tempted. I drove my Disco 300TDi up from Dorset to Stonehaven yesterday, going for a barbeque tonight celebrate my birthday (which is tomorrow), and to round it off with a trip up north would be top! What time will you be leaving Evanton? I'll have to recover from tonight's...
