Has any one replaced the seat base foam? I have ordered a new foam base and rubber diaphragm from Exmoor Trim and have watched the video a couple of times and was wondering how easy/difficult the process was. This will be the first time I have ever tried my hand at upholstery.

LR Disco 1 1998, R380 type gear box. Have looked at most of the previous posts concerning the wonderful bias plate as mine is holding the gear lever in the 1st - 2nd plane which makes quick changes to third & fourth a bit of a nightmare. It was fine and was replaced by my local LR indie about 2...

Just need a bit of reassurance as I am fairly conviced I know what is wrong. Vehicle 300Tdi. Yesterday, whilst returning home on the M5 just south of Bristol the old girl shuddered to a halt with no power and would barely tick over. Called out very nice man and she started fine and drove fine...

Anyone any idea if I can get a bit to go on the back of my exhaust? Most back boxes have a turn down of the tail pipe, unfortunatly my new back box does not have this and is sending the gasses into the rear indicator. I need to direct the gasses downwards. I could possibly fabricate...

Thinking about the possibility of uprgrading the front brakes as and when the discs & pads need changing, they are ok at the moment, but.......... Has anyone used the crossdrilled & grooved non ventilated items available? Any suggestions about differing pads. I don't do too much off roading...

Please forgive the possibly stupid question, but a friend has asked & I didn't know the answer. She has a Disco auto 3.9 and has bu*****d the head gasket. She asks if the old Rover 3.5 cylinder heads would fit her 3.9 just in case one of the heads is cracked. She has a couple of heads laying...

OK here's the problem, air con not working for some time so went and did the obvious and had it re-gassed. Unfortunately this was a total waste of time as there was plenty of gas in the system and total waste of money. :(:( So it must be the control system. Mine is a 300Tdi man, no edc so...

Going from Stourbridge (West Mids) to Redruth Cornwall Tomorrow (Saturrday 16th). Let me know if any one want's anything delivered/ picked up. Can do a few miles either side of the M5 - A30. you could always use [email protected]

Question for all. What replacement dampers should I use. Want to improve the ride on the road. At the moment the Disco is on factory springs and shocks, with Air Lift spring assisters which are inflated for towing. Car mainly used for towing BIG caravan and a small amount of off roading...

I realize that this subject will have been covered before, but thought I would put my slant on the idea. Would like to add a boost gauge and possibly one other not too sure what would be best. Now for my problem; I can't put a binnacle in the middle of the dash over the tray/grill as no doubt...

Am going from Redruth to Stourbridge (W. Mids) on 10th May. Will be in large estate, so could take somehting fairly large. Can drop off anywhere in the M5 - A30 corridor. Drop me a PM, Philip.

Anyone need anything transported anywhere between the above locations?? If so, drop me a line. Leaving Stourbridge on Friday AM. Have space for quite bulky stuff, but will have to share space with new oven/hob in large estate car. Sorry not using Landie, no cruise control.......yet!

Here's a good one, this in no way is a problem to me as I don't use the rear windows often. Car is a 1998 300 Tdi XS. When I start the car, it takes about 6 minutes before I can use the rear windows, either from the front swithches or the ones on the doors. This time delay is constant and...

Have just changed the oil on my Disco 300Tdi. Put in a fully synthetic Diesel oil (Fuchs Titan SynDiesel 10W 40). My question is:- Could I keep this oil in for say 10,000 miles rather than the normal 6,000. I normally use the semi synthetic variant of this oil and the engine is showing very...

OK, insanity has taken hold. Have a good, well specced (now) 300 Tdi Disco, and want to buy a second one. Having great difficulty finding a good well specced automatic. Had the mad idea that the P38 RR would fit the bill as virtually all have the toys we require. I am completely aware of the...

Hi, was out tugging with my 300Tdi the other weekend, when I got home and unhitched the caravan I noticed there was a fine spray of oil over the left hand side of the 'van opposite the exhaust pipe. I know is was oil and not soot staining because it was 'wet' when I stuck my finger into it. Is...

Was out the other evening and noticed that I could not read the digital clock or find out where the fag lighter was when it went dark. (How tiresome you may say) Never noticed this before as do not go out after dark; vampires you know. How does the clock come out? Do I just pull at it and...

Now, before everyone goes DOH! :doh:, yes, I have done a search for the above problems, but find the info somewhat confusing. The rear wiper is generally not responding, it did wipe for the length of my drive (100 feet), but then refuses to wipe anymore and the squirty things at the front are...

Just a quick note to introduce myself. Have recently bought a late '97 Disco XS with the 300 Tdi and manual gearbox. As this is my first LR and my first Diesel and my first 4X4 I hope that any of my inane questions will be looked on kindly and not just dismissed as the ramblings of the...
