    Genuine parts cost twice as much but last three times as long?

    I bought cheapo £12 steering box seals online because mine was weeping from the input shaft. 1 month later the replacements failed completely with no warning. Then replaced them with genuine LR seals and all's good - been over a month so fingers crossed, there was definitely a big difference in...

    Disco 300tdi knocking under load and on overun slightly

    Thanks for quick reply, is there an easy way to check the diffs? its coming from the front or at least not from behind. If I remove the front prop and it goes away then how will I know if its TB or diff? Doubt its big ends as there is no hint of noise such as this knocking unless clutch is...

    Why can freelander drive well in snow/ice?

    I think they are good in the snow because who cares if you write off a FL? But put some one behind the wheel of a defender they will probably spend another £500 on it making sure its not gonna get hurt driving down a snowy lane, basically underestimated car that has physics and psychology on...

    R380 gear oil alternative

    Your right on with your point, I did try comparing the actual viscosity test results from each technical data but they are done using each manufactures testing technique not a standard test so near impossible to compare by your average person and probably difficult for someone who understands...

    Help stolen

    is it maze spray the cops use? there must be a decent legal deterrent, are tasers actually legal? a gas charged hood/noose that comes from the head rest definitely not legal but would prevent re offending! Think I might weld some chain to the gear sticks and add a large padlock and do similar to...
