I searched the forum and found this can be caused by a bad connection on the alternator. So I checked all the connections on the alternator, cleaned and no change. Checked the connections on the coil, they are OK. Then I found the problem. Yesterday when replacing the fan belt tensioner I put...

Thanks Dr. Evil, that did the trick. No more puddles.

A pound coin fits nicely in one end and a penny is a snug fit in the other.

I have a small hose that came out of the engine to the left of the thermostat and then joined onto a right angles steel pipe. The hose diameter is about 20mm on one side, 23mm on the other and 71mm long. Where can I get one from ASAP? Would this have started out as a 20mm hose and stretched...

I think the problem is same with LPG or petrol, just it runs better on petrol. Petrol in all my cars are from same station and my pick-up, bike and lawnmower run fine. Thanks for the advice Kev. I always think of electrical problems when its not running fine, now I've something else to look...

I have a Discovery 1 V8 and TVR Chimaera both with similar problems. The Discovery has only just started with it in the last few days, but now is the worst of the two, especially on LPG. With the TVR I start it, let it warm up, idle is a little erratic, reverse out of drive and when I stop...

From talking to local body shop, it needs an acid bath to strip the powder coat off and then painting/galvanising/whatever. He said they use a place in Preston, but no luck phoning them yet. I've started removing damaged areas with a knife and treated the rust. I'll probably just Hammerite...

How much should it cost to strip a full wrap around bull bar (for Disco 1) and have it re-coated? Any recommendations for companies in the northern part of the north west or southern part of Cumbria?

Bought one now. Thread can be closed. Thanks!

Needs to be cheap, I just got the vets bill :(

A couple of my cars have had the registration etched into the windows and lights.

Thanks, but not really what I'm after.

Where are you, how much and any photo? I'm really after hedge and deer protection, but an A frame would help and give me more time to look for a good one.

Looking for full wrap around bull bar with light protectors. Not to far away from south Cumbria, as I'm only getting 14mpg.

I should have looked a bit harder, the price list is on there, short rack is £265 and long £335 for galvanised finish, plus VAT and shipping. Not cheap, but probably good value.

Will Defender roof racks fit a Discovery? I'm not talking about full safari kits, just something to put ladders on. Maybe, if cheap enough, a half roof rack I can sit on at the races.

I don't think the word custom and prices marked POA are going to be cheap.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a cheap roof rack, preferably mail order?

Newbie question, WHY? Years ago my boss had a yank tank. When the exhaust needed replacing the garage fitted side exhausts (why I don't know). One day when setting off from the lights pedestrians started shouting and chasing down his car. Apparently a poor pooch got a face full of exhaust...
