    Cruising without cruise control!!

    Aaah..SU carbs..twins no less.. had all sorts of bother with them on my old Rover SD1...and my Mini Cooper for that matter as well if I remember rightly...they are the only part of the car that is capable of more faults than there are parts for them.

    4x4 Gas Guzzlers

    My limited knowledge of the oxygen/hydrogen extraction is that it is a very strong bond on the water molecule and takes more power to separate than is created. This process has been on the boiler for decades and started as driving cars on WATER (burn the hydrogen in the oxygen of the H2 O ) but...

    Newby help on Disco type

    I imagine it might be different in the UK, but here in Aus, they only have two models. The base model and the ES. The ES has everything, and the base model comes with a series of options that can be requested, so no two may be alike. Mine has the 7 seats, CD pack, electronic mirrors, compass and...

    Tyre pressures

    I think the front ones are lower as they supply the steering and 70% of your braking. This gives you more rubber on the road. I put my S2 V8 at the recommended pressures and they looked flat. Great here for tootling about in the desert, but I have mine set at around 35-38. It improves tyre life...

    Tyre Myth or not?

    Some vehicles without centre diffs can be a little precious about exact rolling diameter of each wheel, even down to the same size tyre but with different tread depth, but only in 4WD and only on hard surfaces. Not usually as much of a problem on other vehicles and on softer surfaces. The centre...

    Disco PDF file

    Hi Stu....do a search through the forum and you will find a link to it. It only does later models I believe, but I downloaded it and it took quite some time but has hundreds of pages of good stuff and diagrammes.

    Snorkel

    We have the wet season where the dry creek beds become rivers. so it will help then, but mainly its for the dust. Like I said earlier, you would think that they would have found a bettre place to draw engine air from other than the dust front wheel arch. I was out bush last weekend and leaving...

    Help Urgent Help Needed.

    OK..suffered something like this just recently on my V8. On the passenger's side above the LH valve cover at the front is a small square aluminium box about 2 inches square and it has two or three hoses coming out of it. It has a small gasket between its two halves and the mating surfaces...

    A little worried---no drive for a few seconds.

    This is a bit long, I apologise... OK..the heading might sound a little weird, but I was passing through a wash away (wadi) today that wasnt too deep or steep, just a little bouncy. It was of such little consequence that I didnt even select low range. I bounced up out of the wadi without any...

    We have a small general store and a fuel stop about 4 klms (3 miles) away, but the shops are about 250 klms (150 miles?) away. We can buy on the internet a lot and that stuff comes up on the transports. Its quiet out here ;);)

    Hi Lift Jacks

    I used to use one on my side steps (tojo), but they were heavy steel ones attached to the chassis and bullbar. Cant do that on the Disco because of the airbags now. A Hi Lift is mainly to use on your tow hitch and on your bullbar not the body, with or without steps, and also for jacking out the...

    Manual vs Auto

    In the Body Line cricket series of the 1930s, Jardine (English Captain) went to the Aussie dressing rooms after the match to complain about being called a Bastard out on the pitch. The Aussie that answered the door turned and yelled out to the aussies in the dressing room.."Which one of you...

    Squeaky wheel?

    I have a similar squeak when I drive. It is relevant to the speed of the wheel. Inspection on and off hoist hasnt turned anything up. The mechanic says all is well, wheel bearings are fine, brakes ok etc, but it is only noticable when driving slowly...yeah I know...drive fast :D There is a knob...

The other...
