For a while the ride on my TD5 has not been enjoyable to say the least. It's a 2004 with ACE, 5 seater so coils all round on 18" wheels. The previous owner has installed 2" lift coils and Britpart shocks. I took it to a main dealer here in France in August who said the coils and shocks seemed...

Just driving my daughter to school and the engine stopped and the power steering went. Fortunately 25m from school so managed to coast over to the lay-by. All electrics ok, ignition ok but it won't start. Any thoughts? I live in France and am waiting for a recovery vehicle, it's ****ing down...

I don't post much as I use the search function a lot and most of my answers are there. However, got a strange problem. I've been reading posts about the ride quality of the Disco and felt that there is something wrong with mine. Seems to be a bit too harsh on thumps and bumps on the county roads...

Hi guys, been a while. As mentioned a while a go I'm having a problem with my gearbox. I've checked clutch, Selectors including springs and balls. All seems ok. I can't select 3rd and 4th. 1st, 2nd and 3rd are okay. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing 3rd and 4th to jam solidly...

This could be a stupid question but how do you get to the fixings on the bell housing and flywheel housing? The bulk head is in the way. My Landie is at my local garage, in France, and the french mechanic wanted to charge me €1000 to remove the engine to get to the gearbox just to look at it...

Hi guys, I've replaced the front leaf springs on my 2.6 109 sw without to many problems. Thought the rear was going to be relatively easy. However, I've hung the new spring ok with the front and rear shackle bolts, got the U-Bolts on and it's only a smidge away from the axle being located on...

Hi guys, I was changing the headlights on my landy from RHD to LHD, went to test them and switched on the ignition (yeh I know, force of habit) as I uttered doh, I thought what the Suarez teeth was that. There was a noise like someone arming a Second World War bomb coming from under the car...

Hi guys, finally got my 109, more on this later, just running up a list of urgent spares to buy. I have a slight leak between the manifold and the exhaust pipe, there seems to be a rubber gasket/washer between the two. From what I can gather from the workshop manual and parts catalogue there...

Hi guys, after asking a few questions and reading loads of threads, which has genuinely left me scared ****less at times, I've taken the plunge and purchased an 1981 2.6 6 pot unmolested 109 sw. I think 1981 is it's first reg date and it's probably a 1979 model 'cos as far as I can ascertain...

Hi, i'm replacing my damaged sub woofer and noticed that there are only four screws holding the old one in! I'm missing some of the J-clips. Anyone know where to get some from or what size they are? Cheers
