    Security Marking System by Retainagroup

    I recently researched into vehicle security marking and found the company below. So I thought I would share it on here after the company said they would extend the deal to our members. Three years ago they did a special offer through “Land Rover Owner International” magazine and they still...

    Auto gear change

    I have just had my 300tdi auto converted from EDC to a mechanical pump, however the gearbox now seems to change up at much higher revs 3000+ and is very jerky when doing so to how it used to be with the EDC system. :confused: It had been standing for 2 months while waiting for me to locate...

    My 300tdi disco has been surging and messing around just lately and taking ages to start, so I thought I would replace the fuel lift pump.

    Bigger than I expected

    I have just picked up a set of alloys fitted with a set of 285 x 75R x 16 BF Goodrich Mud tyres. They are far bigger than I expected them to be, guess I should have done my homework first. I just saw Disco 1 wheels with MT tyres and thought yes they will do me. Looks like I have a fair bit of...

    Winch bumper problem.

    I recently bought a winch bumper from “Guardian” to fit on a pals Disco. We phoned Guardian to ask if it will fit a 1996 Auto with aircon and was assured it will fit but I may have to push a couple of pipes up slightly. Well I cant figure it out, the whole gearbox oil cooler and pipes...
