Talk to me about Disco2 sunroof motors... This type... Do they regularly have a sulk? I've got a non-Landy with a sulking but very, VERY similar sunroof motor - the only difference seems to be the limit switches. And I've got a spare motor, which is failing in the exact same way. What seems...

The starter on my s3's dead. It worked just fine, perfectly reliably, always starting well. Then it went clunk, and didn't do anything any more... There's a solenoid click, the dash lights go dim, and that's all... Fortunately, it push-starter easily. On my own. When I remembered to turn the...

It's been made very clear to me that having to remember which windows open and which won't is not a situation which will be allowed to continue... So - who's good for a complete kit of sliding window channels? It's a factory SW, so the big square-cornered rear side windows. I need a driver's...

This time, gear and handbrake lever boots. Not even been in use for six months, and badly ripping already. Any ideas for a source worth buying?

Seeing the military twin-tank thread got me thinking... If there's space for a second petrol tank under the passenger seat, why not an LPG tank there, instead of swamping the load space on an 88"...? There's no reason not to have multiple LPG tanks, so where else underneath could you fit tanks...

Driver's footwell is all wet. What a surprise... Except it seems a bit thick to be rain. And it's running down the clutch pedal. Deep joy. So - master. Looks fairly straightforward, and a TRW "Genuine" is on the way. Should be nice and easy, right? Unscrew the cover, and all is obvious...

The coolant temp gauge in my 2.25 3brg is being a bit... static. Not really, really static and not moving. Just... not doing much. Turn it on, stone cold, and it reads the lower end of N. I've checked the sender, and I'm getting about 100ohm at the sender terminal to earth, gauge...

It's about time I started, I think. Since our cats won't be thrilled with the traditional security method of a sheepdog or three in the back, I guess we'd better at least get the door locks working, together with the driver's window latch... The little thumb-flip doesn't do much - it makes...

The odometer works just fine, and is accurate, so it's not a cable issue. From cold, the speedo is broadly accurate (although I've not checked it against GPS), and the needle smooth. But, after about 10 miles or so, it becomes ever more pessimistic, until it refuses to acknowledge...

The seats that are in our 1980 s3 88" SW are not what left the factory in there. I'm not quite sure what they started life in, but I suspect a high-spec Metro. They're pale grey velour, saggy and grubby, but they are fairly comfy. The passenger side has adjustable lumbar support, and both backs...

A slightly odd, but probably very straightforward question tonight... I've got all the brakes buttoned back up, and all seem to be happy. BUT... the rears are a bit over-enthusiastic when you turn the wheel backwards. They'll go, at most, half a rotation, then they stop. Most of the time, they...

Having taken one rear hub apart to see why the brakes were covered in goop and oil, it looked very like the oil seal was a bit weary. Eventually, I got the old one out - I've definitely got the equal-size inner and outer bearings, later 1980 88". So the first attempt to put a new seal back in...

I've just figured out that the mystery oily lump hanging off the side of the carb is (or was) an EGR valve. The exhaust manifold has clearly been changed at some stage, because it's not connected, just a bunged hose. But it's a future source of problems (the valve itself is clearly broken...

So, Landy ownership starts here. Moving from the SE to the wild hills of Herefordshire last year gave us a need for something with four paws dragging it about. A brief dalliance with a P-reg Shogun reminded me exactly why I don't tend to go for plastic-and-electronic Japanese "sensible"...
