Hello all, I have come over to the world of disco from the land of defender. Just bought a 1999 disco 2 after selling my beloved defender after 12 good years of owning it. So after 3 weeks of owning it it has started to go wrong, so at least it’s a proper Land Rover. Every now and again it will...

Hello again, Yet more problems. Fitted a set of bearmach led lights today and only the back lights (break light) work. The indicators go tick tick as normal but only the original little side lights work? Not one indication and neither of the front side lights work. It's a defender obviously...

Hello, This is a desperate plea for help! I have a leek in my fuel tank on my defender and so have to change it. I took all the bits off, pipes etc, in order remove it. Obviously the nuts were seized solid so i need to get it to a garage . Trouble is, it won't start now. I put everything back...

Hello, I have recently had a new 300tdi engine from a disco, fitted to my defender, after it seized. Since then, I have had problems with heat. My temperature gauge barely moves past the white line, even after an hours run, and the heater only blows cold/luke warm air. Any ideas? Cheers

Hello, About to replace my locks for the 5th time after key snapper yet again. Anyone know if there's a set of replacement lock barrels that are NOT made of butter? Standard locks are pony and can be opened with a 2 pence piece. Why are these vehicles built using such complete sh*t for parts...

Does any one out there know what these wheels are called, who makes them, part numbers etc? Thanks

I have noticed my 300TDI is gutless up hills (bad when you live in the mountains) and lacks power for acceleration. Do I go for a tune up, new turbo, new intercooler etc on my existing, low milage good condition 300tdi; or do I go for a V8 conversion? What are the pro's and cons?

Tried to get my Defender registered Austrian last week. All was fine exept the suspention lift, the snorkle, the front bumper, the light bar, the a-bar and spots, the head lights, the tyres, the wheels, the steering modificatons and oh, not forgeting the rear seats. they said it was a nice...

tried serching through the forum for threads on portal axles but no joy. question is; are they worth bothering with? do they effect motorway driving? and are they easy to fit?. hmmm should have said "questions are"

I have spent a lot of time sealing all the water leaks to stop the rain coming in, so much so I have to have the windows open through fear of suffocation. Its near air tight. This was all fine and dandy for about 6 months but now I have a new leak. I have spend days spraying a jet washer over...

Bonjour My Defender is really starting to smoke bad now so I was thinking to clean it out a bit. i tried reddex but it didn't really do much. I think the problem is a mixture of the landy sitting for 4 months + being run in the red a lot. I will replace the fuel filter and the air filter for...

I have been trawling through landyzone looking for reviews or questions on the R380 Gearbox. I can't find anything but if anyone knows of a tread that will tell if an R380 gearbox will help my red defender go up hills any better; let me know!. Ta

A while ago I was considering getting a series IIa as a restoration project. It would be my first (appart from a mini I helped my Dad with donkies years ago) and so I am now thinking this will be more than I bargained for. I have not yet parted with cash for it and so can still back out...

What is the average fuel consumtion of a 3.9l V8 1993 RR classic?

:confused: What are the largest wheels/tyres you can put on a 300tdi before it starts to screw the performance (already questionable) or mess with the bearings etc? :confused: Ta

ok. i have now a limited choice and a short time to decide on my new winter vehicle. I have to choose between a 1993 3.9l V8 range rover classic with all th bells and whistles and a 1995 5.2l V8 (sounds like thunder) jeep cheokee similarly equiped, although the range has air suspension and the...

Hi all. ye know those metal plate things at the back of the break discs on a landy? I nicked a picture from Busters manuels to illustrate. his is looking new and clean as can be seen. well mine are the source of the rattling I had problems locating before. they are dangling off a bit. i managed...

It is done! Big thanks to Bustersbus and everyone else. I took the whole dash out and found the biggest culprit for leaks. it was the front vents. I sealed the buggers shut and now, hopefully, it should be the end of my troubles. Cheers all!

Yeah I know its this ol' , "I've got leaks", chesnut again but i've been through the old threads and can't find the origional. I have sealed just about everything i can get to using the water ingress manual from Bustersbus but still i have water ****in down on me feet. I have decided the whole...
