Hi all I have a knackered battery (I think). I have been looked at some beefy one's with 780 CCA, I have a 1991 90, with a Defender 200TDi. I'm looking at the Bosch S5 or S4 battery (780 or 680 CCA's), as an upgrade to the current one, which has 610 CCA's. Euro car parts have 15% off their...

Hi all I am looking for a set of decent sized mud tyres for my Defender, I need to go bigger than my current one's. One placed has offered me Maxxis Buckshot 754 tyres. I believe these are new (not retreads) and the pattern looks quite aggresive. Just wondered if anyone had any experience...

Hi all I'm at a loose end the weekend after next, and have never tried Hollymooreside before. Anybody know when it's open? Or how I find any info on the place? Google shows not a lot. :D

Hi Does anyone know of any Pay'nPlay sites open on Monday? I fancy taking my recently aquired 90 out to play for the first time. I'm in Leicester, so midlands/ south yorks would be great. Holymoorside, Yarwell, Sibbertoft. Any of those open? Cheers :D

Hi all I have 91 Defender 90. It's VIN number is "SALL.....". Paddocks suggests my vehicle is of the "from LA" variety, which should be disc brakes on the rear. However, it has drum brakes. Whats going on? I presume someone must have swapped it for an older one at some point? Any advice or...

Hi guys I suffered a touch of damage at pay and play yesterday, as you can see in the photo below. Is it possible to buy just replacement glass for this lamp, or do I need to replace the entire unit? Cheers

Hi all Last weekend I dropped my oil i9n my Disco, and as the sump plug came out I dropped it in the oil tray, or so I thought. After passing the oil through a sieve and searching the whole driveway, I cannot find the sump plug for love nor money. No bother I thought, I ordered one from eBay...

Hi all I posted a while back about a funny steering wheel wobble, and I was advised it might be the steering damper. I ran it for the first time last night without the damper and the steering wobble went away. Obviously, I don't want to run without it for off roading, or indeed on road for a...

Hi guys I am currently looking around at CB Radio's for my Disco. I don't know if I want to go to the hassle of wiring one in etc, especially if I decide to change my plans and sell the Disco to upgrade to a 'fender. So, I'm thinking about hand-held CB's instead. So, does anybody use hand-held...

Hi folks, I have a Disco 1, 1992 200 TDi, with a 2" lift. I was out green laning with Muddy Gonzo and the others all last weekend, and towards the end of sunday, the steering wheel developed an on/off "wobble". It's not at any particular speed, occurs randomly at anything from 25 MPH to 70...

Hi gang Hope someone can help me out. My local parts place has just quote me £40 for a front wheel bearing kit for my Discovery MK1. (From Chassis JAxxxx). The kit included inner and outer bearings, two rubber spacer things and a new gasket for the cover. So, can anyone point me to a cheaper...

Hi all I have a 200TDi Disco, which has had a couple of dips at pay and play. The carpets got wet on Sunday and, although they will dry i'm worried that they will rot the floor if i keep doing this, so the carpets are coming out asap. What do people normally replace with? I was trying to get...

Hi all As well as bending a rear trailing arm, soaking my carpets and blocking up the rad, last weekends Pay N Play resulted in broken wipers too! I have a 200 TDi Disco, 1993, and when I switch the wipers to "off", it still stays on the intermittent cycle. All of the other cycles work...

Hi guys I took my 200 TDi disco to pay and play today, and did a run in some muddy water. The car didn't get stuck or anything. This was near the end of the day. The old girl has run all day, but after 40 mins of the run back down the motorway, the engine temp started to increase quite quickly...

Hi gang Anyone off to Frickley in Doncaster this Sunday? Would be good to meet up with some fellow forum members. Home - Frickley 4x4 Offroad Centre

Hi all My 200 TDi has a bit of a ropey old starter on it at the moment, mainly because I have one at the garage for a refurb. Anyway, the old Disco was off the road for a while due to a snapped cambelt, and it became obvious my battery is less than good! So, which battery can I use, that has a...

Hi all I got my landy running again Saturday, so went out laneing yesterday morning. I was doing some lanes with a friend, which I did with some others back in April. We managed to get to the start of 5 of the lanes, but unfortunately, 3 of them had been blocked. One had a large tree trunk...

Hi folks. Having finally sold our house today, the Mrs and I are looking at new houses. Of course, I'm naturally focusing on garage sizes :D So, how long, wide and tall is a Disco? Mine has a 2" lift, and is wearing 253/70/16's at the mo. So, in old feet and inches - how big is it? Cheers all

Hi all Going to be refitting all the bits back on my 200TDi, since my cambelt snapped on me last weekend. I have all the bits etc, just have not bought any instant gasket. Anyone recommend me any? I need it for the Timing Cover, Water Pump and Thermostat housing. Can I buy a universal instant...
