In the repair shop again after someone ran in to it during the last snowfall!!

Thanks guys, The old girl was insured for £2000 , repair company valued it at 1600 pounds and cost of repairs was estimated at over a thousand pounds. I am assuming that the auto repair company were pricing Landrover parts, including a new rear panel plus spray painting etc. This is in excess of...

During the snow last week someone crashed through my wall and in to the rear of my disco. I had just spent a fortune getting it through the mot as there was quite a bit of welding needed doing. She was running sweet as a nut. Anyhow, she has been written off as a class C due to the cost of...

Unfortunately it's an after market sunroof, leaks like buggeryand there is a lot of rust on the inside of the roof to one side of it. I'm not sure what make it is and I'm not a great fan of sunroofs anyway so it's just getting going to get sealed in.

I'm going to be doing my sunroof with chequer plate, sealant and rivets.

Warped discs. Mine were juddering under hard braking and i have Just changed them. Problem sorted. Changed bearings and pads at same time.

Oooh a bit like Ena Sharples! ( you young uns may have to google it)

I know I will probably be berated for not putting this in the sales and wants, but I desperately need an oil sump for a 3000tdi. Does anyone have one spare for sale or know of anyone? Thanks Andy

Hi Do you still have the oil sump? Andy

Bugger! I think it may be easier to drill a hole in the pan and replace the oil pan. Thanks guys

I tried to drain the oil for an oil change and found that the drain plug just spins round in the thread. Does anyone have any idea how to remove it? I have tried putting a screwdriver behind it to put some pressure on the bolt but am not having much luck. Any tips please.

A few of weeks ago I changed the front discs on the disco. After a couple of weeks I heard a distinctive clanking and grinding coming from the front right wheel. I took the hub off and realised that two of the 14mm spline head bolts securing the disc had not been tightened correctly and had...

Just had a thought, how about a piece of chequer plate to cover the sunroof and rust patch, seal it with tiger glue and rivet in place? A least chequer plate would not look out of place. Ok it would look a bit weird from the inside through the sunroof but at least no more leaks.

Thanks guys, seems like a ball ache. Think I'll just ignore it for a while and see how it goes. It's not showing on the outside but I fear it may do in a year or two.

How hard/easy would it be for a welder to remove the sunroof and weld in a new piece and to blend it in? I have just renovated my roof liner and found quite a bit of rust around the sunroof and think it may be easier to get rid. Regards

Thanks for the great tip. I got my discovery back last night after having the rear floor replaced, seeing as the seats and carpets were out I thought I might as well try this on my tatty headliner. I took the liner out this morning, took off the cloth, rubbed it down and painted it with...

Please help! I have just dropped my D1 off for a new boot floor and body mount. Problem is I will need to screw down the inspection panel to the fuel sender and cannot recall for the life of me what you call the little White things that you put in to the holes to receive the screws to hold...

Lol, funniest thing I have read in ages. Possibly because I can relate!

I used this company after faffing about with my old fob for ages. It was next day delivery and worked straight away, great result!

I would suggest that if you are going to insult someone for no good reason then try not to make a dick of yourself by showing your lack of English grammar. It is either you're or you are a cock! What's wrong with investing in a welder, getting some tuition and learning to do it yourself...
