My seatbelt won't retract at all, seen a few fixes for other cars taking the belt out and winding it up again but just can't see how it can be done on this one or am I missing somethig? Its not that it's jammed it's as if the spring needs re-winding. Cheers.

Car I have is a Disco 1 300tdi 1997 I have oil dripping out of my handbrake drum so from what I've read I need a new transfer box output seal. A few guides mention a felt washer but I can't find one to buy anywhere, just the seal. Is this definitely the right one...

Anyone know a rough price on replacement of 4 body mounts and 2 sills for a disco 1 300tdi? Just want to work out wether it's worth swapping my car for one which needs the above work doing. Cheers.

Land Rover has had lots done to it. Since Ownership it has had: New clutch 2" Lift Terrafirma Shocks & Springs all round Heavy Duty bumper Heavy duty track rod & drag link with 4 new ball joints Drilled & vented discs all round New brake pads all round 5 Insa Turbo Special Track tyres on...

So much happened today, so I am going to try and say this in a shorthand way. We got to LLangollen, then proceeded to the bottom of Allt y Badi. Me and my mate (only 2 Discoverys went) were prceeding up the Allt y Badi, teaming with rain with so much loose rock and slate flying everywhere. We...

I have diagnosed that I need a new resistor for the blower motor as it only works on speed 3. I also have another strange problem which I can't find with search or our good friend Google. When the engine is up to temp, the blower will blow "warm" out of the vents that point to the front...

Bought a rusted old winch bumper the other day. Spent a day with a few wire wheels and Nitromors and got it back to bare metal. Coated it in a marine grade rust converter as couldn't get every particle of rust off! After that I primed it all in etch primer I then painted it with Hammerite...

Posted a while ago about this problem but had no replies, looking back I think I could have described it better, so going to have another go :) When I am driving along, and I take my foot off the accelerator, I get an unbalanced swaying motion/feeling, and the LR kind of jerks back and forth...

Got a disco 1 with all terrains on, are these any good in the snow / ice? Obviously not booting it in 1st gear, be making good use of low range / diff lock in higher gears. Just worried about getting stuck like I have every year in my 2wd road cars! Someone please put my mind at rest!! I...

Wanting to fit central locking as at the moment I have to unlock each door on their own. Not bothered about it being remote central locking, just all the doors opening when I open the driver's door would be good enough. Could someone point me in the right direction please? Have done a search...

Left my lights on when I went to work so now have a dead battery, tried charging with trickle charger overnight but still won't start and lights won't come on so for some reason battery isn't charging. Not sure if it's the battery or the charger. I have a battery from my old car, if I turned...

Checked my engine coolant and it's a murky brown, going to change it asap but is there anything else I should be checking/worried about? Only got it a few weeks ago so don't know when it was last changed. Thanks.

Hi guys new to Land Rovers and was under mine wire brushing and painting my chasis yesterday when I noticed this. To me it looks like some kind of hydraulic arrangement, when I wiggle the smaller part it moves freely in the bigger part (sorry for my terminology). I guess it has something to do...

Recently acquired a Disco 1 with 148k on the clock, was told the timing belt was changed at 139k but I'd like to have a look at it to see if it is in good condition. Going to get the socket set out tomorrow, I'm going at it blind so wondering if there is any heads up anyone can give me first...

Only got my Disco a couple of days ago but have a few things I'd like to put right. One of them is the engine seems to chug in low rpm like just below 1500, happens mostly in 2nd gear. I find myself coasting and breaking rather than letting the engine do the breaking as that's when it happens...

Right, I'm not new here as I have had an interest in Land Rovers for a while.... BUT I FINALLY GOT ONE!! I done a straight swap for my Vectra courtesy of a Swap website. It's got a 2" lift, lights, snorkel, AT tyres, Front bumper. steering guard Glad to be a propper member now and hope to...

Looking at picking up a 1993 Disco tomorrow, done a check on it and has 8 former keepers. Owner describes it as mechanically sound, serviced to death, all professionally patched with a solid chasis. Am I worrying too much?

Looking at buying a Disco 2 and it is advertised without a working handbrake (says he parks it in gear). Going to expect the worse and presume the cable is none existent. Is it an easy job? I am an enthusiastic novice when it comes to cars.

Don't know where this will get me, but going to throw it out there anyway. I am in search for a Discovery, particularly an older one that has been modified for off-road but can still be used for daily commuting. My idea was to buy one for around 700-1000 and then sell my car to do it up...

Thinking of buying my first defender just after christmas, I will only have about £5000 to spend and it will also be my everyday car so I want it reasonably comfy. I know it's very basic inside and not going to be anywhere near as comfy as a car, but 1 important thing would be to be able to get...
