"Nah love, side steps won't go through the Mot!" :rolleyes: On a serious note, whats the recommendation for new springs and shocks? Id like it to look purposeful without looking naf. I used to have a 200tdi with a Britpart 2" lift kit and that looked naf to me. This 300 has got more iron work...

There seem to be many schools or thought surrounding lift kits but one reason I wanted to fit one was the mother in laws dodgy hip. She can just about get in with standard suspension. A lift kit should make it impossible for her ........

The diameters are equal. I had actually fitted the rear springs to the axle before I noticed the shocks would have to be upside down. The springs seemed to sit quite happily in there. Maybe it is a dumb idea and flogging this lot to buy the correct ones is the right way to sort this. I am...

I have a set of OME Springs which were sold to me some years ago through an acquaintance of a friend of a friend as a set for a Discovery One. I have just found they are for a 80 or 100 series Landcruiser....... Groan...... They have Devon 4x4 part numbers being: D44R Rear Springs D44F Front...

THAT IS SHAMEFUL! I really should have been able to answer that myself. Indeed a wiggle of the earths and the starter connection and off it went. Thanks fellas!

After my Disco has had an 18 month long rest and thanks to this weather, I have finally had an opportunity to refit the cylinder head to my 300 after it blew all that time ago. With the head on the engine fired up almost instantly. Brilliant! I switched it off to address a diesel leak then...

Strangely enough im about 10 miles away from Redditch, in Stratford.

Ive already got a PSI? Supercat chip on but its also on 20" wheels which makes it a bit more sluggish anyway. Just had a look at Ashcrofts website and I think £725 for a recon unit is more than I would want to spend. I can see im going to end up taking my chances with a used 'box and...

Right, The Lucas fluid made a huge difference, but this week it has started to deteriorate again. So, I guess either a rebuild or a replacement box is in order, so what is the best direction to go in? If I get a used HP24 is it wise to use my existing torque converter when I refit? The car...

Same thing, innit?

120k ish.... not much for one of these. Ill try a bottle of Lucas in it and see what happens. Its a shame as the car still drives beautifully apart from the whirring grinding noise at high speed. Maybe I should just slow down a bit.

Yes, the magnet was covered in a fine metallic paste. The shape of the magnet was barely recognisable under the paste.

gravy! :(

Just changed the fluid and filter in my 97 Diesel Auto p38 in the hope it would aid the current problems I have been experiencing. Ive recently noticed that as soon as the car hits 70mph there's an audible grinding noise coming from the bell housing area. Also, the car has been very slow to...

Well done Wammers. T'was an honest slip of the thumb!

Is there anyone in Warwickshire that can help me with that? Theres a drink innit for 'em!

97 P38 Diesel. Ever since I got this car, 6 or so years ago, every now and again, usually on motorways, I would have no throttle response for a few seconds, the "tuning fork" light would come on the dash and then everything would go back to normal. This was quite rare and seemed to be cured...

BLOODY 'EL!!!! This one is like Range Rover GTi or summink! Just repairing that one little pipe and the car now goes like an F'in freight train. Its never been this good in the 6 years ive had it. Thanks again fellas.........

All of you most helpful and very much appreciated. Will be interested to know just how much difference this refitting this is going to make.

BINGO! Just found the map sensor pipe flapping about in the breeze. Trouble is, I cant see where it is supposed to be attached. Its still connected at the MAP sensor end but where should it go to?
