Any one in the south Yorkshire area got a spare wheel carrier from a tdi Disco that they would swap for a few beer vouchers?

22 years old and yesterday it passed the MOT first time with no advisories. (and it's still for sale if any ones interested)

I think the Evoke might be a bit out of my price range with spares prices like this. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/watchdog-crazy-bill-for-evoque-speaker-cover-repair/ar-BBrNj4x?ocid=spartandhp Most of the cars I've owned over the years didn't cost as much as a door card for an Evoke.

Got my insurance renewal from Lancasters this morning £340.....HOW MUCH..... A 70% increase that's how much. Same vehicle, same drivers, same circumstances, nothing's changed since last year. Can't see Lancasters getting my business this year.

I have an old, well used wood turning lathe for sale it might be getting on a bit but it works perfectly. It has a 3 jaw chuck, two different size drive face plates, a drive centre, two tool rests and a set of turning tools. I'd like £50, collect from South Yorkshire. PM me if you are interested.

The latest from "AutoExpress" New Land Rover Defender DC100 concept revealed | News | Auto Express Suggests it will be 2018 before we see the new defender, whatever it turns out to be. It seems to me that that, will put a definite divide between the old and new, potentially getting rid of the...

This morning I changed the rear diff' end prop U/J to cure some vibration at certain speeds. As I was always told to, I marked the prop so I could ensure it went back on in the same orientation. Why, if you think about it new props are balanced before they go on the vehicle, if you replaced...

Took the 90 for the MOT this morning and it passed first time. Although I have just spent £400 on parts and three weeks replacing the entire braking system and new swivels, seals etc.

I am in the process of overhauling the brakes on my 90 including fitting new pistons and seals to the callipers all round. The pistons are Allamakes and the seals genuine Land Rover. The front callipers cleaned up nicely and the new parts fitted fine, however when I come to the rears the...

I think I might need some serious welding doing to a Landrover 90 (not mine) this summer. Although I have a welder and will tackle most things I don't have a ramp and I hate lying under cars welding up side down. So seeing as I won't be paying for these repairs and I'd rather not do them...

So bought a set of grill and headlight finisher panels for my 90, all in matching Sh!tpart boxes. Its a shame the feckin' parts don't match as well as the boxes. The grill is shiny black plastic but the headlight finishers are a textured semi matt finish, that's goin' to look great in't it. I...

A guy I know brought his S111 SWB petrol to me to have a look at why the oil pressure light wasn't working. I tried earthing the wire and sure enough the light came on, coming to the obvious conclusion the switch is U/S. Off to the local specialist for a new one (britpart!!) went to fit it...

I read a comment on one of the excellent rebuild threads that it's a good idea to get rid of the mud shields from disc brakes. So is it a good idea? are they just muck traps or do they offer some protection for the brakes? What do you think?

I went to buy some bolts from Penistone (stop sniggering at the back) Engineering supplies this morning. An excellent place to buy bolts and stuff from, proper old school and they sell things you could not even imagine were still even made. the guy at the counter still wears one of those brown...

I need to change the gearbox oil in my 300TDI 90 with the R380 gearbox. I though this time i would follow Land Rovers recommendations and use MTF94 rather than the ATF I've used in the past. So I set out to look for a supplier, I usually use Paddock for my spares but they don't stock it for...

All Trade Direct 2 X Rain Repellent And Anti Fog Mixed Bundle By Rain X Mist Sleet Snow: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike Like most 'fender owners mine suffers a bit from misting up when it's cold and wet, so I decided to give these two RainX products a go and then went out for the day in the...

The radiator on my 300tdi 'fender has started leaking, I've added some "Bar's Leaks" which has stemmed the leak for now. However I've always considered leak fixers to be a short term "get you home" fix so I need to replace the rad' in the near future. My local indy' has quoted me £120, the...

No I haven't bought one but I was in the dealer in Sheffield (Guy Salmon) picking up some parts for a S3 disco. I went into the showroom and had a look at a new 2.2L 90" Defender, electric windows, leather seats, air con, central locking etc etc. In fact all the toys you find on a "modern" car...

I have noticed recently that when I start my 300tdi 90 I get a puff of black smoke. It happens hot or cold and clears immediately. I'm sure it didn't do it when I bought it in Dec Dec 2010. Starting is not a problem it fires as soon as the starter is turned and is returning good (33+) MPG...
