It's been 5 years since I completely stripped the disco down and replaced the floor, inner wings, chassis mounts and anything else that was showing signs of rot, and the tin worm has come back.. What would be the quickest/easiest way to get access to the rear crossmember? I was hoping not to...

My rear propshaft coupling is starting to show signs of cracking, still has plenty of life left in it but I'm wondering whether it would get through the MOT. Does anyone know whether this would generally be deemed as a failure or not? Photo below.. Thanks

Can anyone help with a part number for the (5)stud bolts with 10mm nyloc nuts that attach the ABS sensor ring to the rear wheel hub on my '95 disco TDI ES? I'm struggling to find the code anywhere and need to get them ordered asap. Thanks muchly

The electric buzzing sound of a 300TDI diesel pump should this be constant when the engine is running? I ask because sometimes it's not on my '95 disco. With ignition on and engine not running the sound is constant, with engine running sometimes the buzzing is intermittent. I currently have an...

The disco has had for a while a bit of a rattle on tick over, sounds to me to be one of the aux pulleys. This gets dramatically worse when putting foot on the accelerator and is directly linked with engine revs, at 1500+ rpm it actually sounds similar to that of a very bad turbo. I pulled both...

I'm desperately after a front axle oil seal (ft3276 I think) for my disco but need it tomorrow as back to work Monday! Does anyone know of an LR parts supplier/bearing shop/car factor ideally in the chester area, or have a spare seal they are willing to sell me? I currently have the car...

Hi, after getting stuck in some deep mud the disco has been making a loud noise from the front wheels, increasing with speed (not revs). It drove surprisingly well for my 300mile return trip other than the noise, last night I filled up the front diff oil and replace front hub bearings. It...

I've noticed for some time that my brakes cause the disco to steer slightly left, had both rear wheels off today to change the shocks and noticed that the offside disc is rusty so obviously not working properly. Any suggestions? I have an EZ bleed kit thinking of checking for air in the system...

Ok, engine out all new core plugs fitted now all back together but I have an issue with the wiring. If if switch ignition on the black relay next to coolant reservoir clicks but I get no buzz from the fuel pump. Trying to start it up, the brown/orange wire from positive on battery to main...

I need to make some brackets up tomorrow as have booked Friday off work to lift the engine and replace the rear core plugs. Hope someone can give me some quick advice - as I understand I should lift from the offside rear head bolt (nearest the bulkhead) as pictured here: Is this correct? And...

Its been a while, 3 and a half months of trouble free motoring in fact(!) but I think the much dreaded time has come to fit new core plugs to the rear of the block/head. Im losing coolant which is running down the outside of the bell housing, over the last couple of years ive had to replace...

Ive covered a thousand miles or so since changing the heater matrix and all of a sudden the driver side climate control only blows cold. near side of dash is fine, blows warm, im not losing coolant and the matrix is getting plenty of heat. I guess something has gone wrong with the driver side...

After making a mess of my not very old radiator by cross threading (an also not very old) oil cooler pipe, ive bit the bullet and bought a new rad. what I can't seem to work out is the best way to fit the cooler pipe to avoid oil leaks, but also not wreck the rubber o-ring. It makes most sense...

Since recently changing my PAS pump I've noticed resistance/slight judder in the steering wheel occasionally, when stationary or moving very slowly and turning to full lock. Could the system need bleeding or have I bigger problems? Thanks

PCC500170 is this a suitable replacement for my 1995 disco ES auto with air con? I can get this for a good price, looking on the web it lists 300tdi but for defender, I need to make sure this is suitable for my discovery before committing to buy. Can anyone help??? Thanks

After getting through 5 o-rings trying to stop the leak I managed to somehow cross thread the bottom union that bolts the oil cooler pipe to the rad. Before I go out and buy yet another new rad and cooler pipe (current one is only a year old!) any other suggestions as to how to sort? Have...

Any ideas? I replaced the bulb so it now lights up but if I adjust the time the following day its completely out??

Massively pi55ed off!!!!! I seem to be spending every weekend on the disco, every time thinking 'if I sort this that will be it for at least 6months' This weekend it was the swivel oil seals, week before that crank and cam shaft oil seals, week before that the heater matrix. Went out in my...

What's the general consensus on using 30mm hub centric wheel spacers with 15" deep dish steelies wearing 31x12.5 tyres? I understand the potential impact on accelerating wheel/swivel bearing wear (that said I've had no issues in that dept using these tyres for the last 4years!) just want to...

It doesn't work, swapping bulbs with the rear(that does work) didn't help. Looking at the fuse symbols under the steering column I couldn't see anything that looks like interior light. The big chunky fuses under bonnet look to be all in one piece. Any suggestions? Thanks
