Parked up at a shop earlier during some nasty rain, then when I get back and turn engine/lights on the side lights came on as usual (1-turn) but no dipped headlights came on on the second turn. Instead, I get the blue 'full beam' dash light on solidly(pulling back the stall to toggle full beam...

Drove through some puddles in my Disco 2 TD5 after yesterday's terrible Manchester rain storms - nothing too high, maybe 100-150mm. Noticed a loss of power straight away. Thismorning I can't accelerate properly at all - the disco isn't really drivable past 10mph. In neutral, tickover is...

So after buying a hawkeye I find the shuttle valve switch to be at fault (code 4114, a.k.a 11.4, a.k.a shuttle valve switch electrical fault) - which is good, at least compared to the cost of wheel hub replacement! My plan was to try the 'option B' fix of soldering the wires directly to...

My landy is missing a passenger 'toe board', and I can't find a replacement part anywhere for it. Perhaps the problem is my search terms are wrong - I've tried passenger toe board, kick board, footwell panel, I've tried browsing sites like Rimmer Bros - you'd expect it to be under 'Interior...

Seems like a stupidly basic thing to ask for advice on, but I'd like to pull out the driver-side dash vent WITHOUT BREAKING it. I can see on the online images of it that there are 4 metal clips that might snap off if I just use brute force. I've had a try and can only budge it a little bit...

The front indicator assembly contains a main bulb and a little side-pointing bulb (I don't mean the separate side repeater unit) This bulb is somehow wired into my sidelights, so it comes on with my sidelights and not the actual indicator. Not quite sure where to look here - the wiring...

Just bought myself a 2001 Disco 2 and am putting together a list of things to fix. There are two things that concern me about the electrics: 1) SRS warning light comes on intermittently during driving and stays on until restarting engine. I'm hoping it's just a loose yellow connector. 2) Under...

Thinking of buying a defender - the one I'm looking at has a 2" lift. Would rather it didn't tbh, going to be using it more on-road than off-road and wouldn't want to compromise the handling, but everything else looks good so I'm still interested. What should I be looking for to check this...

Would an 80A gasless mig be sufficient for any small welding jobs (patching holes in chassis or bulkhead or rear crossmember, etc) that might crop up in a banged up defender? If not, what would be the minimum? I think the chassis is 2mm, right? Is the rear cross member or bulkhead any...

I'm looking to buy a cheap defender (hard top or station wagon type, not too fussed which model) as my first landy. However I'm surprised at the price of them compared to say the Disco or other older 4x4s - the lowest prices seem to be 2-3k, and I'm guessing those are likely to require some...
