    'were all going on a "artic circle" holiday.........'

    Worked in Russia for couple of years, this is the marker for the circle in middle of summer near Novy Urengoy, minus 40 in winter, all diesel is cut with aviation kerosene to keep things running............and no local LR dealers within 2000 miles.

    need advice

    Sorry, but blaming an imaginary mate does not get any sympathy on here, been tried before:) I take it you had no snorkel fitted, in which case you may have screwed the engine with intake of water through the air filter, which does not compress in the cylinder and causes valve...

    Speedo Broken / Tyres pressures

    Plenty of advice if you use the search section for the speedo fix. Lowering tyre pressure will indeed make a difference with worse handling, poor cornering and shortening of the tyre life, so not much to recommend that route. New parabolic's are supposed to help. I have one with and two...

    hi all

    What grade is the tube?....you will have to calculate the total weight of the finished frame and make a judgement if that is what you really want. For sure, hanging a 150 kilo's of additional mass up and over the top of the vehicle will reduce the stability of the vehicle on slopes and then...

    hi all

    A roll cage is there for safety reasons, function before form is the important thing to consider. Not much use if it just looks pretty when the vehicle rolls over..........internal/external, full/short, so many variations to be considered..........material types!. Have a look through the mags...

    Steering Box - S3

    Just been down that route with one of mine..........lots of sucking of air through teeth from the mechanic, after pushing him on the subject he conceded that easier for him to replace than repair as labour costs would eat up any savings on the refurbishment option. I could be wrong but there's...

    Disco shaking when driving over bumps in road

    My 2004 Series 11 Discovery has started a similar problem. First thought from the garage was the ACE, however this proved not to be the case, having eliminated the steering damper, bearings, etc, suggestions now seem to be pointing to tyres as some owners had reported 'squirrley' handling with...

    cellulose paint in kent

    I really doubt that you will find any motor factor or distributor with cellulose paints on the shelf these days, and even then will sell to trade customers only. This because of the new legislation coming into force on 1st Jan, 2008. which has effectively killed off all solvent based vehicles...

    chassis

    I am assuming you are referring to the MOT test? Each MOT station seems to apply their own interpretation of the guidelines, my local one (which handles a large volume of farmer owned) will not pass a vehicle which has had more than 20% of the original patched or repaired, also any repair...
