Not Land Rover related but seemed the best place to ask... I am asking a favour from any member who lives or works in Cardiff or any post code in South Wales. I am trying to buy a camera lens filter in a rare size (40mm) and the only one I can find in the UK is at Cameraland, Royal Arcade...

Ninety 3.5V8 Efi auto (originally 2.5P LT77). Had some problems with battery losing charge over time when unused and I wanted to see what might be draining it. The components I can think of that are live when the ignition is off are the clock, radio memory, alarm's ignition, motion and...

Before I replaced the leaking water pump hose I had a new issue of the temperature gauge (VDO) reading 90C+ when it normally reads 83-85C at running temp, and thought the two were connected. Having replaced the leaking hose, refilling and going for a drive today I noticed the temp gauge was...

This problem is on my 90 with a 3.5V8 and ZF4HP22 autobox transplant. Tried to find the source of a sudden major leak of ATF; autogear changes were getting sticky by the time I got the 1/2 mile home from where I noticed the leak. Checked the gearbox dipstick and it's empty, red oil everywhere...

Disco 3.5V8 hotwire 14CUX + auto in a 90. Recently the idle has been not been returning to base level (~700rpm) on lifting my foot off the accelerator and in neutral but hovering about 1000. Looking at the linkage it seems slack and I can press the ?throttle lever (red circle in first photo)...

Recently there has been a growling noise coming from the front n/s wheel, most noticeable on turning left, and the steering feels sloppy on turning left like driving a Series! I can't hear a clicking noise on turning although there was some clicking initially and I thought CV joint. But there's...

My original plastic instrument binnacle and frame have seen better days and is held together by self tappers. Removing it yesterday more bits broke off and it is now loose and sloppy! I've heard about these Raptor metal replacements which seem about the same price as the plastic versions but...

Just popped out for a moment and noticed the rear fog lamp on the 90 was on; it was hot as if it had been on for some time. I used it yesterday but didn't have the lights or fog lamp on. The fog lamp switch did not do anything i.e lamp stayed on. The side/headlight switch was off yet the fog...

Has anyone here refurbed their battery by emptying out the electrolyte, washing the cells with 1:1 baking soda in distilled water, refilling with 120g/L epsom salts in distH2O, then charging for 2-3 days. Lots of you-tube vids and articles but does it really work or just a temporary fix for an...

I have a ZF auto box from an '89 RRC in my 90. One of the two bulbs in the auto shifter panel has blown and I don't know how to disassemble it to replace the bulb. Any suggestions most welcome. Thank you.

Got in, fired up and ran for a few seconds then dies; no sound from fuel pump. Thought it might be the connector to the pump which has a habit of coming loose but pressing/moving/twiddling it didn't make it come on again. Tried to start and got lots of chattering and what's sounded like shorting...

Renewed policies for the 90 and MrsC's Fiat Panda with Adrian Flux today although I've read both positive and negative stories about them (?all insurance brokers?!) Used Lancaster last year after NFU who I'd been with for years upped the premiums for no apparent reason. Flux came back with full...

Driving along fine then felt her losing power then goes dead; coasted to a stop on the grass verge. Tried to start her, turning over nicely but not catching. Could hear the fuel pump working, got a fat spark from the king lead (it's a 3.5V8 efi), all connections ok. With ign on I could feel the...

It looks like my alternator is playing up despite fitting a new rectifier and regulator and wiring. The windings look somewhat charred and some of lacquer has gone and it doesn't push out more than 13V under load. There is a range of prices for a suitable new A127 but loathe to spend too much...

The 3.5V8 efi transplant in my 90 uses the original 2.5P lozenge shaped brass expansion tank like the tdi's. The bottom outlet is blanked off and the top goes to a V8 rad. Originally the bottom hose joined the bottom rad to block return hose. The overflow pipe is there. I have acquired f.o.c a...

The starter motor on my 90 V8 (Disco 1 engine) has started to make a strange noise. It sounds like the starter gear isn't disengaging properly as it makes a noise like you're trying the starter with the engine running. It also makes a cracking/sparking noise at the same time. It still fires up...

Mobiletron rectifier RL-01H for Lucas/Marelli A127 alternator with 3-prong plug (not studs). Bought in error and non returnable as I soldered it in then removed it; perfectly usable rebend the tabs and solder. Small donation to LZ plus p&p. PM me if interested.

I've PMd Accy and Nina to no avail so trying publicly. Please will you change my username from capo to cappers The latter is my usual handle and I prefer it to capo. Many thanks. cappers

My 90 with a V8 was a 2.5 petrol yet has a 2.5 NA/TD ignition switch (PRC2735) which has broken. The switch is wired as in the photo: Are the terminal numbers and actions the same on all switches? If I use a petrol/Tdi switch PRC8230 or Lucas 579085 Petrol Series 3 90/110 1989 Model...

Despite gluing it together the HRW switching my Ninety is beyond repair. A new one - YUF101500 - seems to be about £50+ and although I can afford it I think the price is ridiculous and am loathe to pay that for a rarely used item. After bit of research I found an identical looking switch for a...
