Hi all, ages since I've been on here but as I couldn't find anything I thought I'd pop up a post. I recently bought 2 Lucas Hazard Light switches for the '96 Defender. They were both faulty - both sides were perminantly linked so indicate either way and both sides flash. Seller happily...

I'm sure this overlaps with other threads but can't find quite what I'm looking for so - opinions please. 3 or 4 times a year I help out at events or setup on sites which often inolves me trundling around in my 110SW 300Tdi ('96) in low range 1st / 2nd (site safety 5mph speed limits, avoiding...

OK so mentioning Britpart is like swearing but every so often they do have the answer. I was seriously considering the Britpart roofrack for my 110 (DA1090, flatpack). It is light at only 31kg and is only needed for carrying Bikes and occational long lengths (along with a convieniant mounting...

Hi, So not as yet come up against any real problems fitting cubby box in '97 110 300TDi Defender but I have got a couple of mystries to solve: There is a multipin (with ony 3 wires attached) connector attached to the rail along the front of the seat (which I thought was the port for linking...

Anyone tell me what this light means, can't see it in the manual, whilst sorting the failed sidelight telltale I discovered that the lampholder is wired but no lamp in the holder. Is this just a case of the loom being standard? I'm not even sure what it does - oil temp, transmission oil...

--EDIT - Title should read "Final Drive Ratio" (dont know where the n came from) -- Earlier I was reading a few posts on here about using R380 boxes out of a Disco on a Defender. It reminded me that it is the Transfer box that has different ratios in the vehicles. However Landrover...

I am in the process of trying to buy a 300Tdi Station Wagon and having provisionally agreed a few things I have just HPI checked it and a strange thing has shown up - I can assure you that what is there is a standard manual box, yet acording to the people at HPI the vehicle has a 7 speed...

Hi. Well I (sorry that should be WE) am tentatively looking at replacing my Disco 300Tdi with a 110. It needs to be the 5 door for easy child transport and be in a reasonably tidy condition. I have a local specialist who can carry out some work if needed but at the end of the day the budget...

OK, About to be provided with a pair of magnetic door signs IDing me as an "official vehicle" for an event. The signs are newly introduced this year. As the same callsigns are used every year but often asigned to different people the signs have to be magnetic so they will transfer between...

Following a recent bonnet catch failure on Thelwall Viaduct (main catch failed, the wind ripped the secondary catch straight through the bodywork and planted the bonnet on the windscreen at 70!) I'm in the market for a replaceent for my 300Tdi Disco. Since looking around I've discovered some...

Hi, Anyone been around Coniston in the Lakes last couple of days? I know the weather is due to hold sub-zero with no more real snow fall but just wandered what was left on the ground? Off on Family Holiday tomorrow and the household is spilt as to which vehicle, the "sensible" estate (fuel...

Being a bit cheeky as have just posted in the wanted section (http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f62/disco-drivers-300tdi-headlight-front-bumper-196473.html#post2099411) but wandered if anyone had sugestions as to the best way to straighten a Disco 1 front bumper? I made a slight missjudgement and...

Hi got my 300Tdi Disco (R reg) in a bit of a mess so: Bumper is bent (still can't work out how its become that shape). Drivers wing may be rescued with a bit of filler and paint but at the right price its not worth the hastle. Drivers Headlight is smashed. So any offers on those bits or any...

Had my radiator changed to an ally 1 when my old one disolved about 12months ago. Since then my local indy. LR specialist has used Red (OAT) Antifreeze in my engine, previously I think I was on blue. Are any of the old seals or gaskets likly to suffer from the change or do I just keep going...

Just logged out of my hotmail account to be presented with this: The most and least reliable 4x4s and SUVs - Most and least reliable used 4x4s and SUVs - Photos - MSN Cars UK Shame they don't take account of the fact that no-one in their right mind would use a warrenty company for a "Real"...

Anyone know a good, sympathetic (R reg disco doesnt always look worth saving to everyone) body repair shop in the Wirral area? Well I wasnt planing to meet with a Honda this morning when I braked, skided (downhill), over compensated and scraped my front wing down a Honda (CRV?).:mad: Anyway...

I recently made the silly mistake of knocking a switch to a 12v socket in the boot as I got out of my Disco. I then discovered this some 18hrs later after a 55w flood had been on under my coat. By some miricle I didn't burn the car to pieces (or even the coat) however I did bring the battery...

Sorry guys, I'm sure this has been hammered but I have finaly re-installed the roof lining in the Disco (only took about 18months!) following a whole variety of leeks. Anyway the last step to ensure a good finish was to replace the glass-case seal on the sunroofs (they havn't leeked since being...

My head gasket has gone (most likely caused by a radiator freeze during the last cold snap) :( and before anyone asks I'd just had it in the garage for a fluids change so the mix in the rad theoreticaly good, just unlucky not moving it for a couple of days in the cold) :mad: Anyway the...

Anyone tried fitting an Optima Yellow Top 5.5 into the standard battery bay of a Disco 1 (1998). I have measured the bay and reck it should just about squeeze in but its a bit of an expensive mistake if it wont quite go (I'll be ordering it on-line!). I'm aware that the clamp will probably...
