    How to test a brake servo?

    I was reversing slowly down a slope to park a couple of days back and the brake pedal went slowly down to the boards and the car kept moving slightly.. There was a strange noise (gurgling!) from the servo/master cylinder area which hasn't repeated. Just towed a caravan 15 miles.. The pedal...

    Geeing up a D2 Auto?

    I'm contemplating a 2002 Disco2 auto but we've driven two in the past (dealer test drives) and compared to the manuals we've previously owned, we found them very sluggish.. As one of its jobs will be to pull a horse trailer occasionally I feel I'd need to get more power. Is a remap and maybe a...

    LPG - An Old Chestnut but still viable?

    Got the chance of a 2002 V8 auto Disco at a great price. Is LPG still a viable option? I'm out of touch with the old debate as to when the tax on it will shoot up as rumoured constantly. To buy this motor, LPG would be the only answer to lower running costs.. Anyone run one?

    Troublesome Seller - or Scammer

    Last week I saw an ad on the AdTrader website for a Disco in Dudley, phoned the seller and asked all the right questions, won't bore you with it all. On a subsequent call he volunteered to fax me the documents, and after a bit of trouble I found that my neighbours had a fax machine but after...

    Would a Re-shelled Disco be Recorded?

    Next week I'm going to look at a Disco TD5 which was re-shelled a couple of years ago. Presumably it must have been a write-off at some point for that to be done, but the owners brother (hmmm...) who is selling it claims it isn't recorded. I've done an HPI check and it comes back okay... Can...

    Automatic 90 - rare beast - anyone know of one?

    After a whole heap of manual 90's and a few Disco's, I'm looking for an automatic 90 TD5. I know LR never made one, but a few have been converted by Ashcrofts and others using 300Tdi gearboxes.

    My transfer gearbox shift linkage came off - advice please.

    The transfer gearbox shift linkage just came off on my 90 TD5. After removing the gaiter and insulation pad, the female splined lever on the end of the splined shaft has come off. Looking at the shaft, it must have only been half on to start with (half of it is clean, the rest dirty). The shaft...

    90 TD5 Drivetrain Niggles

    I recently bought another 90 TD5 (sigh...) which apart from an annoying vibration, I'm very happy with. It's got a low mileage but was used by the previous owner for some offroading, accessing hilly land. It came with very big MT's and now I've changed them to AT's I've realised the MT's were...

    90 Suspension - a bit too 'ard.

    Does anyone have advice on how to soften up the suspension of my standard 90 TD5? It's bone-jarringly hard at present. I tried Koni adjustables (on softest setting) on my last identical motor and they made no difference. All after-market options seem to offer 'heavy duty' or 'stiffer for fast...

    KAM 2.83 diffs - anyone any knowledge? Also big MT's FS

    Tired of pulling away in 2nd and looking for a non-existant 6th gear at 50 - 60 mph I want to change the final drive of my 90 TD5 (which is 'chipped'). It did look like a spud at one time, so much earth around it.. I've tried the Ashcrofts ratio change before (15% ratio change) on another...

    Alarm and full width mat supplier?

    I'm hoping to buy another used 90 TD5 shortly :D . My last one had a simple intruder alarm with a secret switch and two sensors either side of the windscreen. As it was already fitted when I bought the 90, does anyone know where I can buy one for my new motor? I'd also like one of those thick...

    Senile Delinquent

    Hi Guys, S'funny, haven't seen this site before a chance search led me to it - I'm looking for a roadworthy trialler or a suitable Tomcat.. I've had 15 Landies, including 5 90 V8's over the years, mainly 90's but three Disco's as well, the present 90 I've rebuilt over two years, although not...
