    Sarafi Snorkel - I need all parts except the snorkel itself!

    My Disco 1 has a Safari snorkel fitted. I have finally got a standard airbox, but I just need everything to connect the safari snorkel to the airbox... Anyone know if this can all be bought cheaply, or perhaps custom-manufactured? I've been pondering and can't easily come up with anything -...

    Front passenger door lock not quite working

    So... the front passenger door lock isn't quite working as it should. When the car gets locked, the door locks perfectly. When the car is unlocked, the lock does not come all the way up. It does move up slightly, but doesn't unlock fully. I then have to lean over and pull the lock all...

    Alarm/imobiliser fob must be close to vehicle & needs a few clicks

    My 1997 300Tdi Disco has a two-button alarm/imobiliser/central locking fob. It does not work from any distance away from the vehicle and must be held up close to the vehicle for it to work. Even then it occasionally needs 3 or 4 presses for it to do anything. With the driver's door open, for...

    Cruise control struggling after 1 week of no driving

    After my Disco 1 being parked up for a week, the cruise control now doesn't work too well. It does work, but can't seem to get the accelerator pedal further than half way down. Also, when I set it to a certain speed it kinda looses speed at first and then struggles to regain it. If it's...

    Brand new wheel bearings - hot after 8 miles at 60mph

    I just had all four wheels bearings (8 bearings in total, of course) replaced with brand new Timken bearings by the local indy Land Rover garage. After picking up the vehicle, I drove 8 miles home at around 60mph. When I got home, I held my hand against the cover that goes on the end of...

    Brake disc thickness & other parts

    I measured the brake discs and here are the results... Front-Right: 10.8mm Front-Left: 11.2mm Rear-Right: 11.4mm Rear-Left: 11.5mm I understand that these are all too thin (on my 1997 Disco 1 ES with ABS). I'm going to get a garage to do this work because since tackling the wheel...

    HELP! Auto gearbox problems...

    I'm having some problems... I hope someone can help... Here are some bullet points (very hard to summarise these symptoms I'm afraid)... It's possible that the ATF and auto gearbox filter has never been changed. It has a regular service history up to 96,000 miles (but with no details)...

    Rotary coupler airbag circuit continuity question!

    To hell with my "ongoing problems" thread for this one - this is just a simple question! On a rotary coupler there is a yellow "conduit" carrying two airbag wires (red and yellow). There is a red plug on each end. If I put the multimeter on "Pin A" at one end, I get a circuit on both pins at...

    Silicone - is this one any good for what I need?

    I have a tube of NO NONSENSE General Purpose Silicone Sealant, clear. I'm told it'll be fine to go between the rocker box cover gasket and cylinder head, but the tube actually says "Do not use on surfaces that bleed oils or plasticisers". Also, is it heat-proof? I suspect I'm being...

    Wheel alignment, rear axle not level, other dimensions out as well...

    Today I had my wheels aligned. I was bored of the car wanting to pull slightly to the left all the time and having to hold the wheel slightly to the right to keep it in a straight line. It wasn't extreme, but becoming annoying and wearing my tyres down. So, here are the BEFORE figures...

    Tesco Fuel Vouchers - you can use THREE at once!!!

    Just learned (and tested out) the fact that you can use up to three Tesco fuel vouchers in the same transaction, thereby giving 15p off per litre! It does work. My diesel just cost 122.9p per litre, which was a bit better than usual :D

    Disco 1 dog guard - strong enough to keep my toolbox in the boot if I crash?

    So there's the question...! My toolbox is in the boot. It's rather heavy and held against the rear of the back seat by the centre seat belt. If I had an accident, though, I suspect it'd jump out of the seat belt that wraps around its base and potentially head into the passenger compartment...
