I've got a pair of side steps that I removed from my disco a while ago, they are now in the way so are free to a good home, only thing is you will have to collect them from either Pershore (Worcestershire) in the daytime or Tewkesbury (Gloucestershire) in the evening or at weekend. They are...

On mine the plastic bit the no. plate screws onto has been trimmed a bit in the corners, but the rave cd instructions for fitting do not show any cutting. I would just fit it and then see if any trimming is required, should'nt be too big a job as long as you've got a friend to hold it for you...

Today I had the pleasure of being dragged out the mud by a bulldozer, yes a bloody great big bulldozer. I managed to drop a wheel into a soft spot of mud (already a foot deep) whilst out on site today and grounded the chassis, the only thing that could get round to pull me back out was a...

Just had a look and BB is right, the valve clearances are there. Still dosn't help when the other chapters refer you to "the specifications given at the start of chapter 1b". At the time I got that ****ed off trying to find the clearances in Haynes that I gave up, it was quicker to switch...

Hi, inlet and exhaust both 0.20mm (don't tell me, you've got a haynes manual that dosn't give valve clearances as well)

Has anyone got any photos of how a mantec snorkel connects up under the bonnet, does it connect to the old air box or does it come with a new one (the old one has **** loads of holes in, to let the water out, and in...) I wan't to use the space in front of the original air box for a second...

Sorry, my point was not that all specs are given in one place, but that when you refer back to "the specifications given at the start of chapter 1b" it's not bloody well there, or anywhere else for that matter. Yes that's right a Haynes manual that does not gine the valve clearances (anywhere...

In my Haynes book of crap it dosn't give the valve clearances in the maintanance section and all the other chapters do is refer back to "the specifications given at the start of chapter 1b", how much bloody use is that. Unless my rage subsides I might have to write a letter to Mr Haynes, or...

I have seen some extended roof rails on a disco recently, like the standard ones but these go right to the back of the roof (still have the mount in the middle but an extra one at the rear). Has anyone else seen these and knows how to get hold of some, cos they look so much more usefull than...

Sorry don't have tyre fitting gear, but I know a man who does (for a price). Anyway if you aint got a boot I could put them on the back seat for you or failing that maybe on the roof...

Bonnybaggot, the price does include delivery, into the boot of your vehicle, when you park it outside my house...

I have a pair of part worn 235/70/R16 General Ameri 550 tyres, tread depth is 6.5mm minimum, even wear, no punctures cuts or other damage. I was running them on the rear but have now got BFG AT's all round. If anyones interested I want £25 for the pair, i'm in Tewkesbury (Glos).

I thought about removing the CAT on mine so asked a friend in the know, he said it's not a CAT as such but a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) only on the newer generation of diesels does the DPF also act as a CAT (ie, removes or converts gasses), the older type is basicly just a filter so...

What the hell posseses these sad individuals to do these things to a perfectly good car (ok actually alot of the cars on there are ****e in the first place)... I'm all in favour of a little subtle customising but that's just taking it too far. I honestly can't believe that some people can look...

I've just made up a pair of aluminium plates to repair / reinforce the rear (not sure what its called) bit behind the wheel arch. Mine had rotted where the mud flap bracket is bolted on leaving it flapping around, from some of the disco's i've seen localy this seems quite common. The plates...

I've just come across a flyer for Gatcombe Park off road driving days (2nd and 3rd of September) 15 qiud per vehicle, just wondered if anyone on here has been there before or is planning on going and can say if its any good or not. From the photos on the flyer it looks a little tame, not that...

Had to replace one of my actuators a while ago. MM 4x4 do one for about 25 quid, the fitting is a straight swop, you just need to cut off the wiring connector and put some bullet crimps on. much cheaper than 100 quid for a LR one...

Hi, There's a multifunction unit mounted on the back of the fuse board below the steering wheel, the buzzer is located in there. The unit controls things like intermitant wiper delay, interior light fade, rear wiper, etc. I don't know there are any fuses for that circuit, unfortunatley the...

Hi DartmoorLandy, The point someone made about the seal on the bulkhead is interesting so i'll have a look at that when I get chance. Strangely mine stopped making a noise for a few days, but then started again today, though not as bad as before (maybe due to the hot weather). I'm sure it...

Hi DartmoorLandy, I have a very similar noise on mine. Normally when manovering at low speed, if i've just been in reversing and then move forward whilst winding the wheel round to the opposite lock, I get a horrible groaning / grinding noise. I've had this for a while now and havn't got...
