I would remove the stuck bolt and get a wire wheel on it before decideing it is BER. you may find a lot of the mess is the bolt and washer rather than the bracket. But if it is the YRM panel is likly to be what you want and you then need to decide if you want to replace with solid rivet or pop...

I think this is a key here as well. I had a friend with one fitted and I hated it. But my daily drive for the last 18 years has been an stock lt77 so th normal gear change is what I am used to, what expect a land rover to feel like, and what I have adapted my driving and gearchange style to...

As you have observed galv does not prevent it slows down. Galv should also be painted in my opinion rather than left bare for the chassis and the bulkhead. to give extra protection. If you want the bare galv look you can get clear oils that will protect it, it is not something I am hugely...

The corner panels are just surface rust from the pictures and do not need replacement. Just give them a good rub down, treat with rust converter, and then prime and paint. The b pillar repair is detailed in the yrm workshop Section along with the floor and seatbelt mount repair (what I need...

Little update, I finally got around to looking into parts for this properly. Was cheaper to order the parts individually on ebay than get one ready made up if people are interested this is what I have bought: LINK1, LINK2, LINK3, LINK4, total price £23.08 inc postage, could have made it cheaper...

Don't take this the wrong way but a new member asking how to bypass the immobiliser is not the way to get a huge response from people here and will be viewed with caution and suspicion. Maybe a little more information about the vehicle and how the failure happened would help? Similar to the...

Put up some pictures of the areas you describe, Everyone likes [pictures, but will help us see what you are talking about. For a 300tdi the air filter should be on the left as you face the engine but if the engine is sitting further back it may not fit. As long as your current intake system is...

I am going to come out with the opposite view to the above. I have a 1.2 fitted to mine and it is great. However I will caveat that with a couple of things. I live in the midlands, not the Welsh or Scottish mountains, I have an early LT77 from a TD fitted which I believe has different gearing to...

2 have been taken from her village in the last month.

Yes, the actual sill itself which bolts between the tub and the bulkhead is a piece of steel c-channel. you can get galvanised replacements (LINK). This is the part that the floor panel and seat box bolts along the threshold. It is then usually hidden by something else, either a sill panel -...

In a similar line to @300bhp/ton some more information about your vehicle (engine, gearbox's, body type etc) and some pictures (everyone likes pictures) might help with recommendations. If it is as it left the factory the advice is very different to if it is a fully kitted challenge truck!

If the vehicle is in top mechanical order then in terms of upgrades I would start with security. Make sure you have a good steering lock, and good pedal/clutch lock. You can fit window grills but I didn't bother as unless you fit them to all windows they will just break a different window, but I...

All of the upper body panels other than the bulkhead (firewall, part the dash/pedals mounts to) is aluminium. the bulkhead and chassis are steel and will rust. The bubbling is likely to be oxidisation which creates white powder and does eventually rot through the panel similar to rust. this is...

It depends what sort of overlanding you plan on doing, where you plan on going, and if you are going to use the vehicle for anything else. What you need for heading to the extreme north is very different to heading down through Africa. If you vehicle is a daily drive you need things that can...

If that is the case why are so many of them so easily stolen? Local land rover specialist said current JLR are one of the easiest cars available to steal and recommended the extra precautions hence it falling to me to find out more.

The mother in law has just bought a disco 5 to replace her early disco 4 and is now worried about security on it as several land rover have been stolen form her village recently in car key burglaries. I know this will have been asked before but I am looking for security recommendations to give...

Could you not just increase the adjustment either by adding additional threads down the rod or making a longer rod if it needs to go the other way? From what you have said the latch mechanism works as it should

I would always suggest second hand for a roof rack, they are far more expensive than they should be and prices have gone up for the second hand ones as well. However, I would really ask yourself if you need one. If you are planning on camping and sleeping in/on the vehicle then you need one, if...

One thing I found is if the bulb was loose in the holder due to poor tolerances a couple of well place matchstick would solve the issue.

This was also my experience before swapping to LED. I treated them as disposable and when a bulb blew replaced the whole unit for fractionally more than just new bulb! Fog lights were the worst for it and required a good strip and clean before every MOT! The wipac ones were slightly better but...
