Hi Chaps, My Dad can't get his D3 to Wales to have some work done before the MOT in March. Where in or around the Lincoln area can he find a decent independent? He needs brakes pipes doing and wishbones/bushes. Thanks, Pindie

Hi Chaps, My Dad has a D3 2007 which needs some new brakes pipes and bits for the MOT doing before March. He can't get to my local guy in Wales by then. Is there anyone in the Lincoln area that could help? Needs to be a good indy guy without costing silly money. Thanks in advance. Pindie:tea:

go for the priming sequence again? Ignition on but not running. Pedal floor to rest 5 times and it should work???

Hi Paul, I've just looked on ebay at a few various parts and it's given me an idea. I am going to price up the parts that are desirable from breakers and ebay etc and then I shall let you know when they go on ebay. From my calculations i will get more for the car than if i sell it whole...

whats the going rate?

ive had a coupke of discos and even though things go wrong you just cant beat them when you need them. Nowt better

i use 42 all round on my 94 m plate. Harder ride but better mpg. Drop them to 30 if off road and you need a less harsh ride. if in mud/roots etc then drop to 20psi and crawl over anything.

Spoke too soon..... £700 quids worth of "fix" and within 60 miles its back to nothing working and all lights on etc. I am now going to break it and sell all the parts out of spite. Anyone needing parts for a facelift 03 auto es give me a shout. It has: 4xDVD screens in seats VGC general...

Hi All, An old one this..... My 300tdi M 94 has a strange thing happening. Three out of five times unlocking using the door lock the alarm goes off and you have to re lock and open and all is fine. It did this when I bought it years ago and I remember doing something with the key in the lock...

I think it's fixed! A new abs modulator, bleed and code clearing has cured it! Expensive, even second hand but at least its fixed. Now all I need to sort is the door lock, leaky s roofs, front discs, head oil leak, thirst for diesel and all the other niggles. In the meatime I will spend...

Try the 3rd gear trick on any road where you hover between 25-55mph. It does make a difference on autos. My 03 auto seems to have become moderatley better on fuel since doing a decat pipe, K&N filter, egr removal etc. I now get 450 miles on the mway cruising at 70-75. Round town and...

Do you mean split fire wood? I get 1.5Cu3 of split dry wood in the back of my D1. I fold the seats down and fill her to the roof! Stronger springs and decent dampers are crucial to keep it all under control. I use standard springs and top notch dampers and have had no problems and its still...

You forgot the "oh dear its an auto" bit

The warping will happen at some stage if chipped. Not a biggie though as you just get it skimmed and put back on. It can't warp twice. Do not be fooled into getting a new manifold though. It'll warp the same! BG Landrover in Monmouth do an exchange. Mine was just over 135 quid and a case...

Any short cuts to get air in the bag greatfully accepted. Also if any re set options are available?

I think from memory you can make up to 2500ltrs at home without having to pay duty even if you're not VAT registered. Check out Greenfuels fuel pod 1 & 2. Awsome piece of kit and fuel to be made at 12-30p per litre. The way excise and customs can check how much fuel you make is from your...

Someone once metioned giving all the ruuber sealing edges faces around the windscreen etc a good hearty rub down with MER car polish (comes in blue cans). Anything that will deter water seeping through a minute (mynute?) dry joint will help.

Mine an 03 auto and not good on juice 20 mpg is the norm. I've even tried cruise con at 40 and not much better really. One thing that has improved it is higher tyre pressure (40psi all round), de cat down pipe, egr junked, new air filter. i can scrape 30 mpg if driving like my mum.

Do you park near any type of radio mast? i was once near a fire station and could open and close doors etc but could not start it. The key just turned with no noises at all. I got a few people to help and we pushed it up and away from the mast (50m plus away) and it started no probs at all...

Probably! I've got gammy eyes. One looks up, one down and the other just spins around. Not sure why I've said that so if if doesnt make sense ignore it. I wrote it in a rush trying to avoid the Xfactor!
