Morning all, I do a bit of hiking and I'm wanting to kit out the landy a bit more. I wanted to see if anyone else has made a custom boot door card and how they made it, what they used along with any tips. I'm wanting to fit one of these: As well as some sort of fold down shelf that I can...

The advice from GreenHornet is the best by far. I did mine the hard way a while ago and opted for the "remove gearbox" method. Despite me and a mate, a pit, an engine lift and a few trolley jacks it was probably the hardest bloody job I've ever done on my landy and wouldn't wish it on my worst...

I fitted one of these to my CB: Car Accessory Plugs : Wiring Accessories : Maplin Electronics It has an inline fuse (in case your CD doesn't). I mounted my CB on the side of the center console (by my left knee). The cabling for my antenna runs underneath the compartment where the fuse box is...

But then I couldn't have thanked you for a great link (sorry, didn't think). Thanks!

Got the alternator off the car today and my neighbour saw me. He said that if it's overcharging it could be the regulator on the alternator and it's worth testing that as it's £10 to replace. Does anyone know how i can test the regulator?

Just double checked the numbers to be sure and the voltmeter is showing 12.46v not running and 14.78 running which does seem to high. Any other advice or should I buy a new alternator? When buying, does brand make a difference? Was thinking off going 100amp.

Thanks for the quick reply, sounds like I need to check the wiring is clean and tight at the back of the alternator.

Afternoon all, The battery light is lit up on my dash, nice and bright. I needed a new battery anyway so that has been replaced in the last week but the light was still on. I knew the tensioner bearing needed doing so have done that today along with fitting a new belt but the light is still...

Oops, forgot the mention the rivets. When I came across rivets for the first time I thought wtf do I do now! They drill out really easily. You can re-rivet once you've finished the job. A tool with a mixture of rivets will set you back around £15 off of ebay or buy one locally. One thing not to...

Had never heard of it until your post and it's not too far from us. The mrs wont be happy 'cos I'll be in Newbury on Sunday!

Wow, some nice replies and glad to know I'm not the only one. Parts arrived today and it put a big smile on my face, insurance is gonna cost me £260 fully comp. Too many reasons not to jump back in the Landy. Branded Fan Belt - £8 Wiper Blades Full Set - £8 Tensioner Bearing - £5 No electric...

Evening all, After deciding last year I needed something a bit faster as my daily, my poor disco got banished to the drive, was declared sorn and left to willow away. After putting the daily through it's paces I started to detect myself moving back towards my younger years of driving style...

Had a similar problem recently which turned out to be a snapped bias plate. The part can be picked up for less than £10 and depending on your technical ability can be a time consuming job. Here is a link to a bias plate to give you an idea of cost and what it looks like. The actual one you need...

Great, thanks for the quick replies that's just what I was after :D

Evening all, The rear bumper on my disco needs a respray. I'm planning to do it at home but in reality spraying has never been a strong point. Can anyone recommend a good black paint to use on it that's going to be hard wearing and can I get it in cans or not? Also, is it better to undercoat...

Not in Kent but try http://www.tyresdirectuk.co.uk I just bought a set of 4 insa turbo sahara on black steels for £440 delivered. Can't wait for the snow.

I had this a few weeks back after I bumped up and drove over a kerb. I couldn't get it to stop so removed the brown AMR1088 relay found in the nearside footwell. I've not refitted it since.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Got the tank back on the road yesterday. Not sure what it's called but I borrowed one of those device you hook up to a compressor and then force the fluid through. This did the trick!

Nothing is coming out of the master cylinder pipe. Can i check anything else of am I better off replacing the master cylinder too?

Evening, I've spent the whole day replacing the clutch, clutch plate heavy duty fork and a slave cylinder. After what seems an absolute ****er of a job, everything is back together but I'm stuck at the last hurdle! Trying to bleed the clutch system of air and not much is happening. There is...
