How much should I ask for this set of 4 tyres and wheels?

For sale 3 door Land rover Discovery 1. Located Flookburgh, Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria. MOT runs out next month. Developed a noise, appears to be coming from the rear diff. Sills need attention. Play on steering (box?). Back door catches on the diamond plate. Back door sill is rotten...

I think the rear diff is on its last legs. Its making some weird noises. What sort of costs am I looking at to get it replaced? Is there a good source for 2nd hand ones or best go for reconditioned?

Are there different types of pads? I bought these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111697822862 for my '94 TDi, but the ones that are on have holes for the split pins to go through, similar to these http://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/land-rover-defender-110-130-rear-brake-pad-set-mintex-sfp000280.html. Have I...

Living in Cumbria I think a snorkel may be a wise investment. Are the £70+ ones off eBay any good? Anything I should avoid?

I was on the way home from shopping when the Disco started to make a sound like a trapped budgie, followed by violent shuddering when I accelerated. The shuddering can also be felt slightly when engine breaking. Its in all gears but only over a certain rev range, if I keep accelerating the...

Not a Land Rover show, but there will be plenty in the Military Vehicle section. This weekend, Sat 25th-Sun26th July 2015. For more info go to http://www.steamgathering.org.uk/

Or similar, to make this look a bit better: I'm in Cumbria, South Lake District, near Grange-over-Sands, LA11.

Ebay is a dangerous place. Thought this would just be a case of a new bumper and away we go. However on the 25 mile drive home there was a couple of issues. Tyres catching on full lock and very vague steering (felt like 4in of play). I didn't dare go above 40mph. Half of me is wishing I'd...

Regretting selling my Disco last year. Thinking about getting another Disco 1 or 2, something cheap (<£2K). Would prefer another V8, manual, LPG(not essential), little or no rot, mechanically sound and no major off-road mods. Or I was thinking I may go the other way and get a diesel with...

MOT failure, needs to be gone by end of month when the tax runs out. New exhaust and rubber coupling. Two under slung LPG tanks, runs on petrol or LPG. Failed primarily on emissions. Needs front wheel bearing. Welding if you want to tow anything. Garage says noise on the gearbox, but to me...

The subject was a typo, but if the shoe fits... Discovery just failed its MOT, emissions, wheel bearing, rust. Although I was told if I remove the electrics and tow ball the rust wouldn't be a problem. It wouldn't even pass the emissions on LPG. Don't have money to fix. Can't fix myself...

I need a new rear exhaust section for my '96 D1 V8 3.9i, but not sure which I need. Some say '92 & '93 only, some '90 onwards and some up to sept '96. Is there any difference between an exhaust on a '92, a '96 and a '98?

I searched the forum and found this can be caused by a bad connection on the alternator. So I checked all the connections on the alternator, cleaned and no change. Checked the connections on the coil, they are OK. Then I found the problem. Yesterday when replacing the fan belt tensioner I put...

I have a small hose that came out of the engine to the left of the thermostat and then joined onto a right angles steel pipe. The hose diameter is about 20mm on one side, 23mm on the other and 71mm long. Where can I get one from ASAP? Would this have started out as a 20mm hose and stretched...

I have a Discovery 1 V8 and TVR Chimaera both with similar problems. The Discovery has only just started with it in the last few days, but now is the worst of the two, especially on LPG. With the TVR I start it, let it warm up, idle is a little erratic, reverse out of drive and when I stop...

How much should it cost to strip a full wrap around bull bar (for Disco 1) and have it re-coated? Any recommendations for companies in the northern part of the north west or southern part of Cumbria?

Looking for full wrap around bull bar with light protectors. Not to far away from south Cumbria, as I'm only getting 14mpg.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a cheap roof rack, preferably mail order?

While other cars have been taking evasive action to avoid the large puddles on the roads around here, I've been taking great joy in driving my Discovery 1 V8 through them at a fair rate of knots (I'm like a kid with new wellies). Two questions, could I cause any damage and am I the only one...
