Rad, etc out - alas, at the expense of the engine & gearbox oil coolant hoses. They were corroded in place, but then leaked a little anyway. . . To which end: Where can I get a set of hoses? & roughly how much??? EBay is oh little help (nothing new there)

Ah, the joys of a slop box I have a 'P' Reg DHSE manual on 190k At worst i get 27mpg 34mpg within easy reach on the motorways

On the way back from work today, i heard a bang from the front of the car, the steering went very stiff and moments later I got an Alternator Failure warning. So i pulled over to check the carnage. . . The tensioner was still there and looked like it was still attached, the belt was fine and...

Can anybody recommend a make, source and price of tyres?? I'm looking to replace the weakeing sidewalled Goodyears with something . . . better. Size 255/60/18 I have some bf goodrich macadams on my old disco and they work very well. Alas, they don't seem to do 18's

Went the PSI Power box route and it makes a difference! :-) Better economy and it accelerates (well, faster than it did) Usually give the boy racers a run for their money - though not difficult against a 1.nothing citroen or vaxhaul Usually manage 32 ~ 34 mpg (its a manual)

Can anybody recommend a good (yep right) insurance company?:confused: I am with not-More Than (yee-ha) at the moment, but their looking for £400 renewal for a P reg diesel P38 I have full no claims and only had one accident on my motorbike (seperate policy) last year. Hit & run - so that...

OK - sounds good to me :-) BUT. . . . Doesn't the system need to be evacuated and have oil added??? Don't want seized compressor adding to my list of woes :-(

Is it also necessary to change the air dryer at the same time as the condensor??

Alas, its a pin cussion and has seen better days. There's only so much the sealant can cope with. . . Surely they can't be any worse than what came out??

Was worth asking. . . Just took the condenser out this eve and its shot - no chance of repair!! Got one (or two) more question: These aircon recharge kits, Are they any use, or not worth the trouble? Can they be used to fill the the system from empty?

Can anybody advise on this? My condenser has been hit by a stone (or something) and has started loosing gas. As I have only replaced it last year, I would rather not splash out on a new one and was wondering is it possible / recommended to solder, or braze it??? :confused: Cheers in advance :)

As per suggestions, tried putting it to full lock and going around in circles (both directions), no tyre scrabbling, no nasty knocks or big bangs. It seems to cough a little, then off it goes. . . Tracking and tyre rotation it is then. If not, then, its off to a friendly LR specialist

Good call, but alas no, they've been there for the last +30k miles and still have some life in them yet. They're not directional and its been six months since I rotated them. . . think I'll start with rotating them and having the tracking done. Then. . . Can anybody suggest a supplier of a...

Well, had a go at turning one lifted wheel by hand - not really managed it. Before anybody comments - it was out of gear and the handbrake was off. It appears to have excessive wear on the inside edge of the front wheels - so possibly tracking too. . .

Cheers Wills Ah, mileage. . . That would be just a little on the high side. Only about 180,000 miles. Not that high really – who am i kidding :-)

So - if the viscous coupling is shot, I should not be able to turn the wheel once off the ground? Or am I being needlessly thick? How nasty is the viscous coupling replacement on a manual P38 DSE? & how expensive are they???

Hello again, A little strange this, but: My P38 has taken to screeching tyres if i pull off in a rush (best not comment) and on sharp bends / round abouts. . . A little concerned that it may be the diffs?? Oil has been changed recently. Tyre pressures are correct. I haven't had the...

Not sure about the money, but buy carefully: or you'll become very familiar with this forum. Not that, that's a bad thing :-) I have an R reg 2.5 diesel manual, with 176k and have had very few problems that a little TLC & elbo grease won't cure. I have tried the auto, both petrol & diesel and...

Just idle speculation, but: was thinking of up grading the brakes, in particular, the calipers? Maybe four, or six pot jobbies:confused: I have only ever had the abs try to out wit me once and I have got to say, it scared the be-jessus out of me - I knew what I was doing. . . ( maybe :p )...
