I dare say there's a few threads on this very job, since its quite common. I can only use the search button as well as you, so a seach using appropriate terms should find something. Haynes manual covers it (indirectly) but I think its a bit vague. From memory, you need to remove the fan...

P gasket it one of the water pump gaskets in between the pump, the cambelt cover and the engine block. There's another gasket there too, which might also be leaking. Its a common issue and not too hard to fix.

Nope, the opposite. I'll probably be in a similar situation to you, in a couple of weeks time!!!

How come? Where have you advertised the parts? Are you chasing high prices or keen to get rid of the stuff quickly?

Just as a matter of interest, did you keep track of how much money you've recovered from breaking the Disco? And how much is it (so far) and what bits?

Cheers, you've revealed one of the very few legitimate uses where the new law adversely affects it. Is there any chance of arranging a continuous policy, but for occasional use (ie limited mileage, to say 750 miles or something)? If it were £80, and you did 10x trips to pay/play sites in the...

Too many wannabe 'mods' who are all too keen to shout "spam" without thinking it through properly. If the posters who complained got their way, do they also want to set a precedent where no goods or services at all can be mentioned here? We all need to buy parts every now and again, especially...

What readings did you get, and when?

.......and how have you checked the battery?

Why doesn't the engine start then?

Flat battery? Its a very simple circuit, and if the starter motor and wires are okay; and the engine not seized, it can't be too much else.

Yeah as above, its frequency of changing rather than the exact type of oil, so long as its more/less within the viscosity requirement of the gears and synchros. So, when you use your very expensive synthetic (typically about 3x the price) are you tempted to leave it in 3x longer, or are you...

On the scale of things, LR Discovery 1 is simple to maintain compared to other cars. But you still need a reasonable level of mechanical knowledge, a reasonable place to be able to work on it in comfort, and a basic set of semi-decent tools. There's plenty of stories on here of people who don't...

How do you add another car to your Golf's insurance policy for the day?

Can you lend me £6.99? And even if I forget to pay you back, can I borrow another £6.99 next month too?

I have that very tool kit. Its a bunch of precision screwdrivers, a driver set of normal sized (but with bulky handle), some needle nosed pliers and tweezers. They're good tools, but hardly for working on the mechanical aspects of a car. Fair enough, you can use them for small bits of trim, or...

So, its not "commercial building" its ANY building!!! Or land, or premises, or vehicle. Unless force has been used. In other words, it only covers theft where you locked it up, rather than an opportunistic theft where for example it were left somewhere and someone swiped it; or assaulted you and...

Good ideas but don't forget the front recovery point(s) too.

Don't need to take massive amounts of stuff. If you get stuck, get your mates to step out the car and try again. If you're still stuck.......you have the winch and 3 mates to try push it.
