You could also check all the pulley's. Put a long handled 15mm spanner on the centre nut of the belt tensioner and apply enough pressure to free the belt. Now you can check the tensioner pulley, water pump, jocky pulley and the viscous fan unit. Make sure the bearings are in good condition and...

Hello Wolf. As the guys have said replace these worn bushes but after doing it get the geometry checked. I don't mean tracking, that just tells you if the front wheels are inline with the rear, it doesn't tell you if the axles are inline with the chassis. I replaced both rear link bar bushes and...

Hello Flyingvegetable, have you solve your problem? I had something similar to what you described. When your driving along does the engine act as if it were a petrol unit that was miss firing. Like running on 4 then dropping onto 3 cylinders and so on. Some days, no problems others its a...

Sorry Defenderdog your name came out wrong when I pressed the space bar.

Hi Defenders of, when I bought my Discovery it had been used as a Chelsea tractor so the underneath was like new, so I cleaned it down well then Waxoiled it, and as you've already been advised spray the inside of the chassis. This can be messy but we'll worth it. I've had my Discovery 7years now...

It all depends on how your landy has been treated. If you look after it. It will look after you. Just watch out for the rot spots. Inner rear wings, boot floor, inner front wings if you go in deep water a lot, you know the usual stuff. Bought mine as a Chelsea tractor so the underneath got well...

Kernowkid66 let's hope you've found the problem. I'd still get the geometry checked though. I couldn't believe how much better the handling was for the same of 2mm washers.

Hi Kernowkid66 I've been reading the replies and all the stiffness cures do apply. Regards the steering going central I had the similar problem. The steering wheel wouldn't go straight know matter what I did. Take the steering wheel off and move the splines it was either to far one way and vice...

Thanks for the step by step Alpine window seal removal tid172. It was well informative may I say as good as Haynes if not better. Its a shame you haven't done your side windows. If you do put it on the forum it will be extremely useful.

Sorry about that. Predictive text. Aaggghh.

Check the two large pullies carefully for any contamination in the grooves. Also a land rover mechanic that delt with nothing but land rovers told me, "If you change your timing belt, change the two large pullies as well, as they wear along with the belt then a new one doesn't fit properly." I...

I don't know if this is your problem but I had a sticking caliper due too the inside of the rubber brake hose had collapsed. The brakes worked fine but when the brakes were released one caliper remained on, only to come off slowly. Using the brakes a lot caused the sticking caliper to remain...

Thanks for your reply Jay reKx. That's what I'm doing. Oh well got to get used to this modern technology. Mess about with Land Rovers with spanners, grease and sweat then we try to talk about it using internet, microchips and touch screens.

Thanks for your reply ChrisW8. I forgot to mention that I'm not on a PC. I'm using a nexus 10 tablet and it doesn't seem to do what you said. It looks like I'll have to find someone who can demonstrate how to get the icon on the desk top. Thank you again anyway Chris. Zuggy.

Does LandyZone have a icon so I can connect quicker, and if so were do I look to download it. Thanks. Zuggy.

I thought 36 mpg was about right. Its taken some weeks to set the pump up but I'm happy now with the performance. Matching the auto gearbox to the pump was the tricky part. Anyway thank you for your reply. Zuggy.

Hi everyone. I have a discovery 1. 300 Tdi. Auto. When I first got the vehicle the injector pump was controlled by "fly by wire" taking its commands from the ECU. This however broke down and instead of getting it fixed, at a great expense I set too and fitted a manual pump. Unfortunately...

Hello richard1. I'm a new member myself but in the short time I've on the forum I've been given some good advise and learnt a lot from reading other members problems. If the guys on the forum can't give you advise how to fix it, its not worth fixing.

Hi ecotack. I've got the 6 spot roof bar on my discovery 1 with the rectangular wyrack spot lights. Purchased off eBay. There's a guy on there that sells the entire range, from just the bar with 4 or 6 light brackets. Then he can sell them with the lights, of different quality. Then he can sell...

Thanks for getting back to me. I sent you a reply this morning using my phone. It was sent under personal message. I don't know if you received it or not. Anyway it sounds a big job just to alter the lock out speed. Its a job to undertaken when the gearbox is overhauled. Once again sorry about...
