    What should a Disco 2 smell like?

    As a Prestige Valeter id reccomend trying a good reputable local Valeter. If you want to do it yourself though and have the time then get on a well known auction site and look for 2 products, Bio brisk and odourcon. Both of these are from autosmart and they work really well. The bio brisk (and...

    handbrake switch- to turn off warning light!

    The handbrake on switch can be bought from places like rimmer bros for about a tenner for a non genuine one. I got one for £7 from a scrap yard, did the trick for me but the light can also come on, as the others say, if the fluid level switch is faulty or dirty. Also mke sure the fluid is well...

    Help! Td4 no brakes!

    sounds to me like either there is air in the system or even the adjuster strut in the rear brake drum has colapsed. it would result in a hard pedal first push then nothing intil the adjuster has either been fixed or readjusted itself. If it is the adjuster then it can take a good half hour of...
