For FUKS sake. Got problems with my rear windows, so trying to get the circuit board out but for the life of me I cannot remove the bottom plug for love, money nor copious amounts of swear words. The top one came out easy enough But I can't get the bottom one out? What is the trick? Tried...

Apart from the sunroofs, water finds it's way into the drivers footwell seats and carpets out and I find where it's coming from. It comes up through the plug that covers the body mount so I'll replace the plug and it also comes in through the seam thats hidden by the kick panel. It's not a big...

I have a 3 tonne jack and two sets of axle stands and for most jobs like removing wheels or doing bearings this is alright. I would just jack up from the axle, get the axle stand underneath and then if needed do the other side of the axle. But what if you want to do something like changing...

I took the rear seats out of the Disco a couple years ago and only two of the bolts came out, the others snapped. Now I'd like to put the seats back in. I flattened what was left of the stud and punched the centre and managed to drill through two of them (drilling slowly with a small bit at...

Hi all As my Disco interior is in a constant state of undress, I thought I would strip the inside of all but the dash and the door cards to check for rust as I've got nowt else to do. I'd like to add that my 1998 Disco does not have electric seats or sunroofs (but it does have a leaky sunroof...

Mornin' Seriously looking in to second battery install and would LIKE to do it before christmas, I just have to figure out how to get the hose from the Southdown snorkel into the side of the airbox Safari snorkel style. Been trying to find the Safari flange that you cut and insert into the...

Alright, anyone got any ideas where I can get my Disco a good thorough clean underneath? I'm in Wiltshire, just south of Chippenham. Got the MOT coming up, the rear door arch/sill needs replacing and I'd just like to get it thoroughly cleaned underneath so I can see exactly where I am with it...

I’ve changed the cracked oil cooler for another one (thanks Shifty ), got it all back together put a hose pipe into the coolant reservoir and turned it on.. . . . . . No leak from the oil cooler YIPPEEEEEEE Then I hear the pouring water sound and look under the car to see it peeing out...

Driving along on Saturday and the bettery light came on, then the power steering failed so pulled in asap and turned it off, checked the temp and all ok. Got to the front of the vehicle and there was small amount of steam coming from the bonnet, not enough that I could see it from the drivers...

Picked up my cheap ‘troubled’ Disco TD5. Needs a GOOD clean in and out but I recon it’ll scrub up very nicely. List of things: you got any ideas? The dent in the rear under the lights on the drivers side is actually a dent with tears in it about 6” wide Not too bothered about this, as can...

Hi Both the front seat belts in my 98 Disco 300tdi have become stuck. The passenger one has been like this for a week or so and sometimes works fine but other times you have to try repeadedly to pull it out so you can clip yourself in, it'll give you an inch at a time (my missus is used to...

Off to a Land Rover experience afternoon in Honiton tomorrow (friday) I chose a Defender and have got a 110 Station Wagon, which is cool by me, as that's exactly what I'd like in the future. I chose that car because it's the closest thing available in the current line up to driving my 98...

Hi there. Just wondering if anyone can tell me the bolt size going through the front chassis? I can't remember I think it also goes through the bumper mount?? Not with my Disco so can't check. My mate has just bought a Disco 1 and I'm taking him out on Sunday. He only has the standard...

"Oh pooh" Was the thought that went through my mind earlier as I put the Disco up on the ramps to do the sedimentor. I noticed a large patch of oil on the floor, nowt strange there you might say. But this is the biggest patch from our car we've seen yet and it only took a couple of hours to...

Quick question. I STILL haven't got around to fitting the new disks and pads and suspension on my 300tdi. Bearing in mind that the suspension is +1", would it be a problem if I did the rear, then left it for a while until I did the fronts??? Also, I still have my anti roll bars on and not...

Just spoke to the Missus and she's going to come pick me up from work at Devizes and we're planning to do a little lane from Devizes to Potterne, then take the A360 south towards Market Lavington / West Lavington. From around here we have a route two routes; one for if the flags are not up, and...

How do you store your Tirfor rope? Do you have something to wrap it around? I’ve been trying cable ties but it’s a pain, especially if you actually undo it. Would love a frame like in this pic but no idea what they are called or where to find them I’d clip the hook onto the frame...

Hello, I have done a search and found diagrams of wiring the different sockets. My question however it this: My 98 Disco has only the older 12n socket. I have seen the wires on the inside behind the drivers side rear lights and the little plastic plug just before the wires go out under the...

Just been looking for 3" flexi pipe. Looking into making my own snorkel and wether it's worth doing or just saving and buying one. Anyway, found something on e-bay, thought I'd have a look in his shop to see what else there is of interest.. Remember, I was looking for flexi pipe...

Hi all Wondering if you have any ideas. I bought a second hand roof rack, don't know the make. Unfortunatley two of the feet that wrap under the gutter and are then tightened up have had the bolt bent, so that when I tighten them up they end up bending out wards and come up/over the gutter...
