Found a great new way to get air conditioning in my disco, especially for rear seat passengers. Go green laning, in the night, up a tighter than a gnats ass, lane. Push through the holly bush, up the bank in front of you and lean onto opposite bank!!! The resulting factor is a nice crazing over...

supposedly, it had a service before I bought it!!!! 1 week ago!!

Hi, I've just joined the Disco owners group after having to sell my 90:( My wife wanted a car where the kids didn't slide around uncontrollably at the back!! so unreasonable!! Anyway, its a 300 TDI, I thought they had bags loads of power but found my 90TD had much more torque. It could pull...

Thanks for all your help over the past months but I'm afraid I'm joining the dark side!! I've just bought a series 1 disco with a 300tdi engine. The wife wasn't happy with me transporting the little ones on bench seats so I dutifully accepted and got a vehicle with a much better engine(TD at...

Belts look good. Two up front any way! Are there any others I should check?

Hi, My 90 has started to smell bad!!Once the engine gets warm, the smell starts. Its like antifreeze and a mix of hot smouldering rubber!! I've checked the radiator fluid levels and they seem fine. I've checked the oil to see if there's water there, just incase the head had gone, thats fine. But...

I've been reading patmans diary of events!! (excellent patman by the way) I'm quite mechanically aware, and thought I would do a rebuild over the winter and then fit in the spring.

I've been following a 200tdi engine on fleabay for the last couple of days to replace my perfectly running (53k) miles on the clock TD. After reading the nightmare of a job to fit the tdi into my landy, I have to ask, cos the wife will!! Is it really worth the hassle. Should I drive my TD until...

Thanks, I know about the wading plug but I read somewhere about drilling a hole in the timing cover breather, however this did state Tdi timing cover breather. Is it different to the TD?

Hi, I bought parts a while ago to replace the breathers on my 90 TD (1990). I've replaced both axles and two on the gearbox/transfer box, but is it necessary to drill a hole in the timing cover and fit one there? I don't do that much deep water wading, its a just in case I get caught out...

Thanks again for your help, I'll try and book some time off from the wife next weekend to have a look at it!! Will I still need the usual seals, gasket etc? Jon

Thanks for all the help. I think I've done as you have said. If I have tightened the nut too much what would be the result? and the front has just started to show signs of a leak. Is it the same process or will I need to "dial in" movement on the stub axle? Thanks, Jon

Hi, I've just spent the day!! I know!! fitting new seals on the rear hub to stop the leak. Everything sort of went fine ( I still don't know If I put the seals the right way around) but on reading the haynes manual after completing the job they talk about placing a dial on the end of the stub...

I'm just replacing the hub seals, I think, they haven't arrived yet. I've booked myself some time away from the wife over the weekend!!

hi, I'm just about to replace the seals on the rear hub after loosing oil. Its obviously lost oil looking at the state of my rear wheel so I was wondering whether I should put some new in?? Should I just use EP90 and re fill my rear axle or should I use something else and put it somewhere...

Chrome, chrome bull bars, spotlights and a snorkle!! My son and I have started to throw mud at it to make it look better, but, the bling just shines through!!

He was going to buy a Freelander with heated leather seats until I called it a Gaylander and then he turned up to school in ... this!

My...friend, Has just bought a Defender 90 TD5 about 8 years old. O.K I thought, not quite as good as my bad 90TD but... its metallic burgundy!! Well, maybe thats OK for some, but this is the horror.... today he's having heated seats put in it!!! Is it me, or is this normal???:confused:

Hi, I've found small amounts of oil on the rear wheel when stationary and its slightly dirtier, though difficult to tell when its all covered in mud! I wiped it clean and soon found it covered in oil again. Has the end seal gone on the axle or something more terrible and what do I need to do...

You're right Sirus, that does sound better, but hey, what sort of history does it have? knackered and so replaced or.... Also, how do I go about the transaction. Let me know what the postage is and I'll send a cheque?
