Hi All. I`ve given up on trying to get a replacement steering wheel for my `98 300tdi Disco. Thinking on just covering it with one of those lace up leather covers. Anyone recommend one? Found one on fleabay but it`s marked as for the 200tdi, and I don`t know If the rim on the 200 is the same as...

Bought my Disco coupla months ago, checked and altered tyre pressures, I`ve changed all oils, greased props etc. Felt pretty confident. Then remembered to check spare wheel pressure. I`d previously half pulled cover off to check it wasn`t bald but had gone no further. Anyway tread was fine all...

Hi, anyone got one/know where I can get one please? I ordered one off e-bay marked as for Disco 1995/2005, but definately not correct for my `98 300tdi. The supplier has promised a refund, so no major drama there, but I`ve a worn out plastic wheel on my Disco `n` a nice leather wheel in my...

Hi all. 1998 300 tdi manual g-box. Recently acquired. On dropping all the fluids no-where near as much oil came out the transfer-box as should have. Refilled it all `n` it seems to be leaking from the seal between the main-box `n` the transfer-box. It`s golden in colour not red so must be from...

Morning All ! I`ve got to change the front brake hoses, as one is showing signs of fluid seepage. Being a "Billy No Mates" whats the thoughts on using an "Easi-Bleed" or similar. Reading RAVE it doesn`t seem possible to do it single handed. And I do intend following RAVE and not taking any...

Hi, all. Going to renew the saggy headlining. As I understand previous posts, best permanent fix is to remove old headlining totally, clean it up thoroughly, and then re-glue new h/lining. I know only High Temp glue is suitable. Any more advice welcome any any suggestions on materials etc...

I`ve got to replace the FIP on my P38 diesel/manual. I`ve read up on RAVE and checked a few threads on this site, but given I`ve not got the special tools required, and am about an hours drive from my local dealer,(if it does go belly-up), so I`m thinking discretion may be the better part of...

Hi all. Simple? question, how are the original equipment roof-rails fixed? Are they clamped to seam in roof hidden by trim? (similar to after market roof-bars?) Also when fitted do the rails run in a curve like the roof, or is the center support shorter than the end ones, so the rail is...

Hi all. Took my p38 off roading last w-end on a pay-n-play day, and had a great day out. Being on 235-70-16 scorpions I wasn`t tempted into the softer stuff where a couple of bob-tailed rangies were being winched out though! Given that I need a set of mud tyres so I can into the sticky stuff...
