Ian, The bloke mentioned that it was likely a wheel bearing censor ... question being, are the 3 Amigo's an easy sort out or do they spell trouble as a rule? Are the 3 Amigo's mean a fail at Rego/MOT? Cheers ...

Thanks to all for the replies so far, it is great to get current feed back from owners in the moment. Here is a question for all ... We have found a 99 Disco II V8/LPG that has low K's looks to be in pretty good nick but the bloke says it has the 3 Amigo's as an intermittent thing. I am...

P.S ... please feel free to post pics of your own rigs ... Cheers,

G'day all, Been a very long time since I last frequented these fora. We are looking at buying a 2004 D2 Td5 ... before we jump, I'd very much like to hear a general consensus from owners what their own thoughts are on the 04 D2. What can we generally expect from this truck in terms of...

Up up and away super mech ... just watch your knuckles from dragging on the roof tops. Bwahahaha ...

Yella, Contact LROI magazine or any of the other Land Rover magazine mechanical editors and ask them about it - just send them an e-mail if you want confirmation. Why would I or they make it up? ... I'm literally passing on the information from them as a source, don't shoot the messenger. ;)

Ok, the jury is back and it's confirmed that your a complete ****er incapable of understanding basic discussion parameters ... the real world you speak of includes safe practice and backyard cowboys. So yeah, we all know things can be done by other methods, for instance most people think before...

No, I'm not worried about safety - I just know how to do the job the safe way without unessecary risk - there's a huge difference. The personal attacks are calling people "arses" when you don't even know them; in my part of the world that's a pretty ignorant thing to do - that so called arse...

No they wouldn't be the same - these people are auto engineers and professional mechanics as opposed to doctors or nutritionists; both have a case to make within a certain context though if you choose to ignore the counsel of either, again, that's entirely your own perogative. I assume you are...

Feel better? You will also find that the mechanical editors of the major Land Rover magazines will support the fact that rubber bushes have the potential to explode - even under low temps, and I can refer you to specific issues which discuss this if you care to further inform yourself; who's...

Yella, The experts in automotive mechanics and repairs disagree with your belief that burning out rubber is a safe practice or even close to common sense. You don't need to be lying beneath the rubber bushes for them to get in your eye's ... if they explode, which they have the potential to...

Certainly, I have a sense of adventure - just not the kind that favours all out stupidity. A dust mask would not protect you from highly toxic (Fluroelastemers ) rubber fumes ... it's to protect you from dust - hence dust mask ya plonker! :D If rubber explodes there is also the eye's and general...

Just a thought ... I may be wayyyy off .... but could it possibly be a diff off a rover car ( not 4wd ) of some sort? Sometimes people wanted the diff ratio of 4.1 off Rover cars ( especially if you have a 6! ) and perhaps they just swapped it on wholesale.

Actually it should be said to those who don't know it but there is always a danger with burning the rubber bushes out that they will explode and the fumes from that particular rubber are highly toxic - you shouldn't EVER burn them out, though people do it. There is another way and a safer way...

Hey mate, thanks! For the superior articulation to para's you have to do some engineering which involves removing a few leaves from your packs, resetting the camber and getting them retempered by a spring place - some alteration to the shock mounts may be required but it works and it's...

34 here, my Landies are 42 and 38 respectively ... no kids, dogs or cats - yet!

Hey Gareth! Ha! You noticed that huge lump of steel ... your the first. The original owner whacked that on after the accident which I think severely buckled the standard bumper. By the way, your not in Colchester by any chance are you? :D ... Best, Simon.

Thanks mate and will do! ;)

I am keeping it as original as possible but for a few Series upgrades ... I'll be adding a Sailisbury rear axle with 4.7 gearing - Series 3 dual brake servo and new dual brake lines + LWB brakes all round and custom series leaf springs that will give better articulation than parabolics. Apart...

Hey Jeff, Nice looking 90! If I were to modernize I would get a 90 but they don't really market them or sell them here in OZ - only the 110 variants. As to dipping gal and all that - yes, it can be a right hassle. I aim to dip my chassis and replacement bulkhead. Before I do the bulkhead though...
