Thanks for getting back. I'm planning on doing what you've suggested tomorrow, fingers crossed it'll be a simple one to track down. What I may do is pop the radio out and check that the fuse on the back has blown, that may solve one problem. Any ideas on where to go next if the roof light...

Hi Bit of an odd issue with my 07 plated 110 TDci and I'm looking for some help please. I fitted a mud roof console earlier today and that involved taking and and re- fitting the roof light (everything starts simple). Fitted everything back, very happy however bit of an issue now: - the roof...

Looking at fitting a split charge as well; been doing some research and looking at fitting a second alternator to my D1. What are the advantages/disadvantages of a second alternator V a split charge system?? The battery will be used to power a winch, additional lights and a couple of minor...

Gents Thanks for getting back appreciate it. Looks like I will be busy getting some 4mm steel, decent drill bits and doing the job. Billy

Is it a fairly simple job?? Have you got any pics by any chance??

Hi looking for some info: I run a 1997 disco 3 door and the drivers seat has seen better days. I am thinking of fitting cobra clubman seats into it. Just wondering if anyone out there has any knowledge of cobra subframe's and which one to use?? Is the a dedicated one?? Is it a simple job...

I fitted them to my 3 door disco it took me an afternoon to do so. The secret is to mark things up accurately and take your time. Check then re-check your marking and then get your angle grinder out. Fit it with a 1mm thick disc and then cut the metal away. Once the metal is cut away file...

Hi, have a look on the QT Services web site. In their January sale they have props going for £118 plus VAT.

Hi The disco has just had its MOT yesterday and the mechanic looked at the propshaft for me and told me the front UJ's were knackered - so he is fitting some new ones as an interim fix. However, I still need to get to the bottom of the suspension question: If I fit a propshaft spacer will...

Hi been looking at things and still looking for advice please. Having looked on the web you can buy 15mm spacers to fit to the propshaft to reduce the angle on it. If I fit one of these do I have to fit castor correction arms as well or can I just get away with fitting the spacer?? Or, and...

Hi Just spoken to QT services they have said much the same. Is it ok to do this step by step eg fit the front correction arms and then do the back later or have they got to be done together?? QT said it would be ok to do the front whilst fitting a wide angled prop to the front and then "catch...

Hi Thanks for the advice so far. The disco is in the garage today getting its MOT - I have asked the mechanic to look at the drivetrain as well. Is it worth fitting wide angle props at all?? From what I have read online they should alleviate some of the issues I am experiencing Many thanks...

Hi Looking for some advice. I have a 97 disco 1 that is giving me a quite horrible vibration as I go along. When I pull of the clutch is fine so I am ruling this out eg clutch slipping. So what is happening. As I get to 40 mph and higher there is a vibration that seems to come from...

I consider myself to be an experienced off-reader and I like to think I know what I am doing. However just a quick reminder to you all out there........... After an excellent 2 days on Salisbury Plain getting wet and muddy I took the truck home and being a bit tired decided that I would clean...

Hi renewing the front and rear shock absorbers on my 03 plates disco 2. More than happy with the fact that this is a simple and (hopefully) painless job. Being the person I am I want to use new bolts when I refit the new shocks. Went into the local dealership to get some and they want £40 for...

Hi all I'm looking for some help and guidance please. I have had a bit of an issue with my sidelights and with the ones on the left working, but not the ones on the right. On top of this neither of the lights on the bumper work. Having checked the fuses (10 amp in cabin and 20 amp in...

Just read this link. The military teach their aircrew that there are 4 priorities to survival: Protection Location Water Food I also believe that there is a fifth - Luck!! If you are going to "build" a bug out bag my best tip is know how to use the kit you have. I've seen loads of...

Hi all, I've been a member of the forum for a couple of months but never really got round to doing this - yeh I know it's bad but ........... I did have a 54 plated 110 double cab (awesome) until I hit ice last year and got T boned - wrote of the 110 but still here to tell the tale. Since...
