    Discovery 2 Auto M & S Warning Lights

    Thanks guys. The injector loom and ECU were changed a month ago. The gearbox 'XYZ' switch has also been replaced. I spoke again to the engineer who thinks that the oil has ingressed further down the main loom, not just to the ECU and injector loom. He said that my choice was to spend an...

    Discovery 2 Auto M & S Warning Lights

    Hi, I'm looking for some help! I have a 2000 Disco 2 TD5 Auto ES. I have a serious intermittent fault. The car starts and drives. It starts to miss intermittently. Yesterday I did 120 miles then I lose my throttle and the M & S gearbox warning lights come on. I pull over, stop the car and leave...

    4lt OR 4.6lt ON LPG

    Hi, with regards to liners, found this text on an RPI motorsport listing on ebay that advises anyone not to use liners - which they are selling!!! Will they fit your Engine?. This liner is supplied as suitable for the 4.6 & 4.0 engine from 1994 to 2003 and could also be appropriate for...

    Defender insurcance for 18yr old?

    Hi, if you don't do the average 12K miles a year it might be worth trying someone like Adrian Flux. A few years ago I had a modified car that was cheaper to insure as modified on a limited mileage policy than a standard one would have been on a normal policy.

    Creating a hybrid chassis

    Cheers Robbke. No I'm not annoyed at all.:) :) :) I was just after some technical tips or experiences. I'm a 40yr old professional with a fair degree of LR and engineering experience so I'm not intending to do anything daft and thought the members might have tried variations on this theme. The...

    Lightweight chassis on a series?

    Chaps now you have convinced me not to make a hybrid 90/series chassis, can anyone tell me the differences between a light weight chassis and a series SWB. Would I be able to put all my series panels/bulkhead etc onto a LW chassis without having to weld new outriggers etc? I might be able to...

    2.5 TD have I made a mistake

    That depends on what state the engine is in and how much you paid. Certainly the 200TDI is better and much more reliable. If your TD has been properly rebuilt and had regular oil changes and injector/pump servicing then it could be fine. They 'breath' very heavily if poorly. There is loads on...

    Creating a hybrid chassis

    and another thing................what percentage of Landies do you reckon still have a chassis with the same piece of steel running from one end to the other? And how many have horrendous corrosion that the MOT didn't find - like mine? I take on board what you say but I really not a daft...

    Creating a hybrid chassis

    Thanks Grippa, no offence but have you ever seen a 4x4 other than a Landy? Most Japanese 4X4 such as Troopers, Shoguns Fourtracks etc have coil sprung fronts and leaf rears as do nearly every car derived and purpose built van. I am not intending to angle grind two chassis and butt weld them end...

    Creating a hybrid chassis

    Cheers guys. It's really a learning exercise for my lad, and a big meccano set for Male bonding and all that! The series didn't cost a lot and I know that a straightforward chassis repair/replace the cross member is the easy option but my lad is struck on creating a 90 lookalike and we have a...

    Creating a hybrid chassis

    Could anyone help with any advice? My young son has a series 3 that is straight and tidy but has rusty holed chassis legs forward of the bulkhead and on the front cross member. A new front cross member/dumb irons etc wont go nearly back far enough to eradicate the major rust. So, we intend to...
