fantastic, didnt think of that, now all i need to do is find the outside tap could even make a few quid on the side jet washing the other cars;)

LOL I was thinking of that thing is you only get caught by the ban if your neighbours report you, so maybe its time to find out who my neighbours really think of me :D

Hi, Following the Hose pipe ban, I can no longer use my efficient jet wash to spray clean my disco. How they can ban this along with other water users is beyond me, as you can still clean your driveway but not your car, but you can fill your swimmingpool if you are lucky to have one. Not that I...

thanks for the advice I took one out for a test drive my local land rover specialist and it was great. Chalk and cheese in comparison to the Defender. IMHO the Defender has the classic design and class, while the Disco has the comfort and a lot more besides. Got to say was toying with looking...

Hi, I had my Defender stolen from the railway station I park at earlier this week and so if its not recovered am looking for another Land rover to replace it with. While I love the Defender, I am seriously looking at a Disco II. I was wondering if any Disco owners here have owned or still own...

Hi Guys, Not sure where else to put this and saw someone else too, my 1991 90 200 TDI was stolen today form Reading Station carpark some time between 7am and 4pm. Pic of it in my avatar, Its blue, with white roof and defender sticker down side Land Rover Defender 90 Silver 5 spoke steels rims...

Hi, Regularly get 30Mpg out of my 90 200TDI 1990, just dont go above 60 to often. ;) Keep wondering why the others drivers keep saying get off the road grandad but thats another story.:D

Hi, I have an old 1991 90. As it didnt come with a stereo I had to wire one from scratch. Being a blank canvas I decided to build my own lockable box and house the speakers in the lid of the box, which sit width ways across just behind the seats in the rear. The box and lid is made out of...

Its 30psi all around. Be interested in knowing if anyone has any views on setting different pressures for front and back.

When I got my 90 it had 205/70/R16s, pretty skinny tyres. Opted to go for BF Goodrich All Terrain, 235/85/R16 and perform and handle much much better. Cannot recommend BF ATs enough :cool:

cheers mate, but have two already, and pretty handy too as it happened it all went fine. Just for others who might come across this and dont know, I know I searched and there is little resources on fitting stereos. In the dashboard there is a black cover protecting the wires for the cigarette...

good idea , I have a dtm that will do the trick, well tommorrows the day when I get it all wired in, fingers crossed.

I know what the wires coming from the back of my stereo are, the important ones Yellow = direct to positive terminal of battery (no problems there) Red = to ignition switch (somewhere) Black = earth on chassis (somehow) Really just wondering which wire to hook to red one into?

LOL Fired-up OK so how, without Scotch blocks, would I wire the stereo in so it only powers up when the ignition is turned on. So then the stereo switches off when the ignition is switched off. basically I have no wiring loom for the stereo, this is from scratch. on previous cars theres been...

Hi, About to tackle installing a stereo into Defender and was wondering if there was a link or resource to wire colours. Or is it obvious when i take the dash apart what wires do what? I found this link for a Series III which is great http://www.fourfold.org/LR_FAQ/Series/FAQ.S.wires.html...

Hi, bought my first Land Rover recently from James French in Standlake, Oxfordshire. They arent a registered Land Rover dealer but only appear to deal and service Land Rover vehicles. Personal service as well as car service is excellent. Been back a few times for various things and never a...

thanks to all who gave advice on the clutch clunk and the fuel indicator, it now all sorted. Clutch failed in a big way last Sunday. The pedal seized about 20 mile from home, so forced to drive another 30 miles the next day to the garage without the clutch. Oh what fun, still another driving...

hi achuakh, i have tried very gentle lifting the clutch very slowly and normal driving techniques, it doesnt matter, but the diff idea sounds like a plan, will try it in a few days, probably at the weekend when i get more of a chance. aircon, yeah echo fired-up, its those flaps at the front...

cheers jim, will give that a go, as there were 3 wires i wasnt sure which was which, will let you know in a few days how it goes Les

cheers fired-up i spoke to the garage the other day and the man said that it sounds like a normal thing. He said it can happen on new ones or old ones, or not at all, its a Landy thing. :) if you could dig out the wiring be much obliged. to be honest it seems to be driving better now and got...
