Hi all, I'm back for more help. I drove approx 50 miles yesterday mainly on the motorway. All was going well, but when I pulled off the motorway noticed a very loud ticking noise coming from under the bonnet. Stopped and checked but nothing obvious. On the return leg of my journey I...

Evening all. Driving home this evening, my oil pressure light came on and remained on. Stopped and checked oil level which was fine, so continued home. I've had a little look in the dark and the oil pressure sender is leaking oil. Would I be right in assuming the sender is nackered, hence...

Aldi's 80amp arc welder is now in the clearance section at £24.99. Picked one up today, as at that price with a 3 year warranty I thought you really can't go wrong. Just a heads up for you all!

Hi all, I'm looking to get a replacement gearbox for my 300tdi. I've been looking at Ashcroft's, and they offer to put a V8 5th gear of .732 ratio. Has anyone got any experience of this? My TDI feels pretty strong, but is standard, and I don't want it to be gutless in 5th gear. Thanks!

Guys, just a bit of a heads up. Having passed my licence after jan 1997, I have always been under the impression I can only legally tow up to 750kg. I've been looking at doing my B+E training, and it seems the laws changed last year. To bring the UK in line with other eu countries this was...

Could somebody please explain what I might be doing wrong. When stopped in heavy traffic for example, I can turn off the engine, and then when I go to start it up again, it would have immobilised itself. This means me having to take the keys out, lock, unlock, alarm, disarm alarm numerous...

Evening all, hoping someone can offer me some advice. My 95 defender has got a vibration between about 55-65mph. It feels worse when in 5th gear. I have taken the front prop off and drove around and it seemed a lot better. Yesterday I changed the front UJs, it feels a bit better but...

So I know everybody slates Britpart, but are Bearmach just as bad, or have I been unlucky? My 300tdi has been ticking away and I decided to change the fuel lift pump on advice on here. I paid a couple of extra quid to avoid britparts. I fitted the pump and was surprised to find the ticking...

I bought 4x used BFgoodrich AT tyres off ebay for the discovery, I got two of them fitted to the car, but the garage were not happy to fit these two. This wasn't a problem as I already had good rear tyres. The tyres have good treat, I'd estimate around 10mm, but there is age cracking between...

Evening all, I have fitted a replacement transfer box to my 300tdi disco (What a nightmare job!) and found the handbrake assembly seems to be completely different. Is is possible I have fitted a transfer box from a 200tdi vehicle, would this explain why my current handbrake cable / lever...
