    Gearstick extenders

    Hi, I'm in the process of doing a 2" body lift on my disco, new custom made rock slider sills are now fitted complete with new heafty body mounts. I've turned a set of spacers and got extended braided brake hoses. New stainless seat belt anchors fitted and I'm now looking to make the gearstick...

    R380 no 4th gear

    Thanks crazymac, I checked this as a matter of course and all is well. I fitted new bias plate and springs not so long ago. I think it's an internal issue due to it binding up and snagging before I lost 4th.

    Best HD clutch

    Ended up ordering this kit. DA5551KIT 200/300Tdi CLUTCH KIT WITH HD | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series As James says, there's a chance of getting a poor one. I'm hoping the one fitted now is just a one off. Comes with 2 year warrenty too.

    R380 no 4th gear

    Thanks James, I've removed and refitted 3 R380's so I've got a fair idea what to expect with that part of the job. Going to try removing it by craning through the transmittion tunnel this time.

    Best HD clutch

    Thanks for the reply storm, is this a HD clutch? I imagine it must be pretty decent to have a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty.

    R380 no 4th gear

    Thanks for the reply James, all other gears are fine and quiet, so I suspect it's the synchro spring. I'm not affraid of getting my hands dirty, any idea how hard a job like this is?

    Best HD clutch

    Hi, my gearbox is on the blink in my disco, so the box has got to come off at some point to either repair or replace. May as well replace the clutch at the same time. I'd rather not go for a ****part one because I fitted one of them 6000miles ago and it now slips more often than a fat bird on...

    R380 no 4th gear

    Evening all, went down to yarwell quarry recently for a P&P day, approx a couple of miles from the site I changed down from 5th to 4th on a slip road, seemed a struggle to go into 4th gear. Anyway, the rest of the day passed without a hitch, box was fine. Drove the 60miles home with no issues...

    Disco speed with bigger wheels

    I have sat nav but it's just a ballache to keep looking at that instead of the speedo.

    Disco speed with bigger wheels

    I have 31's on now and it reads almost spot on, so with 35's will read 13% under. 60mph on speedo will be 68mph.

    Cold heater..... which technically means it's not a heater

    Left the disco running for 10 mins this morning to warm it up before I went out. Gets in and it's still -9 inside. Fair enough, probably not long enough to warm up. Anyway, I'm on my way to take the wife to work, queueing trffic for a good 15mins, so I left it in neutral and held it at...

    Disco speed with bigger wheels

    Is it something inside the box that needs changing as it's just a sensor and a plug on the outer casing of mine. No cable drive to anywhere.

    Disco speed with bigger wheels

    Yes this is true but if the needle was moved 10mph it would cover most speeds, the vehicle would only be doing a few mph over at 60mph and 70mph and under at lower speeds.

    Disco speed with bigger wheels

    Hi, I've bought a set of 35" cooper stt's for my disco, not got round to fitting them yet as I've got to do the body lift and fit the extended arches so that they don't rub. Obviously with wheels 6" bigger than standard the speedo is going to be out by 21% and instead of doing 60mph as the...

    High Pressure Header Tank - Oil In coolant

    Defo the head gasket, you can't just change the gasket tho, you will need head skimming and pressure testing or new/recon head fitted, mine went between 2 and 3 twice. Had head skimmed 1st time then recon head 2nd time

    disco judders like mad when hot

    I take it when you say juddering, you mean engine juddering as if it wants to die? Rather than a bolloxed prop shaft or diff?

    Fuel Pump Tweak

    To turn the fuel up you need to take the diaphragm out of the pump and turn it round so that the larger slope is pointing towards the front of the vehicle, don't turn it all the way to the big step position if you have std intercooler fitted, this is likely to damage something. There is also a...
