Hi Back in December driving back from Scotland in my 2007 Puma 110 my brake pedal went very spongy meaning I had to pump the pedal to stop. I googled the symptoms and concluded I needed a new master cylinder. I bought a TRW part and I asked my local mechanic to fit it. He fitted the cylinder...

Hi After not having had a Disco for 5 yrs (previous was a '95 TDI 300 overland prepped which I loved (I had a '95 110 Defender in the interim)) I have just bought a 2003 D2 (as I eventually got fed up with not being able to hear the kids in the back over 60mph, - though a blessing at times...

Hi I have inadvertently filled the swivel joints on my 96' Defender 300TDI up with EP90 to the underside of the 'fill plug' rather than the 'level plugs' (which it turns out are seized with the heaxaganol bolt heads so burred/ worn I am unable to get them out). Is this a cause for concern i.e...

I have made a bed base of 18mm ply (which I now realise is probably a bit over the top in terms of thickness) in the back of my 110 county and as each panel weighs a ton I am looking to drill a number of 57mm dia holes in each board (bed is made up of 4 sections as follows: 3 no. 400mm x 900mm...

I am getting a whooshing noise when I pump my brake - I am not sure if they have always done this or it is because I pumped it today - there is no real noise if I press it when driving / stopping normally . I have checked the servo as described in my haynes manual and it seems to be operating...

I have either a faulty battery or a draining issue as if I leave my '96 disco for 1-2 weeks without driving it the battery goes flat (its worse in the winter). I have been told that I can check if there is a draining problem by putting a volt meter between the positive terminal and lead. The...

Hi The passenger side elec window (on my '96 disco) has started jamming. If I press the rocker switch the window tries to go down but all that happens is the front corner drops approx 5mm and the window jams. If I then press the switch to put it back 'up' the window closes as normal. It...

Hi As I have a 3 man roof tent (on my Disco 1) it is too wide to fix to give front/rear access meaning if I want a shade awaning (which I do) I will have to either have an awning on the opposite side to the tent access ladder (which I don't particulalrly like the idea of) or off the back...
