Havent been on it much but seems good - just used to the insults... I'm mean banter in here! :p I now apolagise to anyone I havent thanked or let know the out come to a solved problem. SORRY! On a slightly diffrent note I joined the Disco Owners Club this year as I saved double the joining...

Sunday mornings are about to get more intresting for me.... I'm moving to a house with a HUGE drive! At mo got nothing if I want to work on the Disco I have to do it wherever it happens to be parked but from Monday a drive! Its bigger enough to get another Disco on as well as mine & the Mrs's...

That did cross my mind...

Nice one!:praise:

I agree :( Can't understand putting in all that time & effort to flog it on :doh: I don't understand this world sometimes, although on a personal note driving it over villiage greens, standing on the roof while parked in the middle of a road is enough to get any one with a Landie a bad name, be...

Just wonderin abiut tyres.....! I've had a set of Cooper Discover ST's 235/70/16.. now I did buy them S/H but only done a few miles not a mark on them. Two out of four all of them have ended up with cuts in the sidewalls, never had it before with any other tyres I've had. Only been greenlan'in...

Cant see a problem with running an old Disco as your everyday, I do. I'm a photographer and cover weddings etc all over the country and do it all in a "L" 3dr 200tdi. Most engine stuff can be done yourself, bits got cheap etc just keep a good eye on the bodywork. You can find out how to do most...

Thanks again bud, Alternator done for £45. Chucked em a bit extra cash to change it for me. I know the last 12yrs of it history (Dad had it before me!) and know that alternator had been on there that long so figured it might not come off too easy.... the look on the blokes face told me I was...

You are a gentleman and a scholar sir!

That would be good Thanks! Kinda thinking to get another one then strip this one down and have a look whats wrong because I aint got the time to do it now and then I have a spare or at least one to lose in that "somewhere safe place" I seem to put everything!

Recentley found my Alternator is just a bit cooked. Think its just the standed Lucas one (A127 65amp? bit thick on these things so please correct me if I'm wrong!) But I've just been bought a set of roof lights and a couple of spots for the front (well it was my birthday!) an some one suggested...

Thought bout the 205's, only do 'mild' off roading. My brother runs a 300 Tdi on road tyres ( might as well be slicks compared to mine!) and he gets everywhere I do. Can you let us know how you get on as its coming time for me to reshod me 200Tdi. Thanks, Sky

Thank for the responce guys, just got back from the wedding and on the way back battery light is now on while engine is running but goes off now when I switch the engine off! Excact opposite of what was happening earler. Checked everything I can in the dark, my brothers got my tester! Always the...

Thanks for that, I'll start checking there in the morning. Sounds like alternate =££££! Bugger. :-(

Hi folks, Just got to the reception venue of todays wedding and the battery warning light came on and stays on when I switch the engine off. Nothing lights up when the engine is running. Was not doing this when I left the house this morning. Had a quick look nothing obvious is hanging off but...

Thanks for the advise/response, at least I'm not as worried about waking up to a big bill in the morning! Have a great New Year bud :D

By the time I got home the lights were only a little dimmer than normal, I had switch all other stuff like heater etc off. I left the car for about 15mins when I got home (had to run in and use the little room, something to do with my age I'm told!) The Disco fired up again straight away. I...

I can't see a make on the back of it. I ordered it from Paddocks with a job lot of other belts and bits and bobs. Just hoping its a crap belt, otherwise I can only think I have tightened it to much?

Yep, it turns nicely.

Driving home a little while ago an ominous red battery light shone through the dark, pulling over and thanking god I has changed the batteries in my torch had a look under the bonnet to find the alternator belt hanging limply down, not connecting to the alternator. A quick look at the belt and...
