Cheers, i bit the bullet and have done it, just need to fill the antifreeze up tonight! The antifreeze that was in the Landy before was an orange colour, chances are they'll still be a couple of litres in the engine, if I mixed it with another colour is it true that it turns to gel sort of...

Hi Guy's Well it looks like i've got a leaking P gasket, It doesn't seem to be leaking that much, i'm suppose to be going away at the weekend in it, if i kept my eye on the coolant level do you think it'll be ok to carry on using untill the following wkend?

Well you know what it's like in this recession!!!:D but thanks for the helpful response!:rolleyes:

Hi Had trouble with cold starting problems, I've got a scrap landy with glowplugs in it that i wana swap, My first question is, is there any difference between a set of glow plugs in a 95 plate and a 98? The second one is, is there an easy way of getting the first glowplug out without...

Ok great stuff thanks alot, i don't use it that much. I'll keep to using it on flatish roads then!

What are peoples views out of curiosity, do you reckon you get better mpg sitting at 70 on dual carriageway with cruise control on or off or doesn't make any difference??

Result!!!! Swapped the pulleys, i did have to cut a boss off the pulley that was from my new landy, cause it stuck out further otherwise which would of made the belt run off true. Put it back on, tested and seems to hav sorted it! Thanks

So did you put a kenlowe fan in or owt or just didn't bother? I've had my new one about 6 months, 98 auto. I do love it but it's the usuall love hate relationship!!!:rolleyes: I worked out mpg not long after i had it, and i had been heavy footed and got 25mpg. we went camping and did 600 mile...

Tried putting new connector on small wire and no difference what's so ever!! Had a look at my spare alternator and it is a bigger pulley, will the pulleys swap over or am i better of just getting a new one??:confused:

Thanks for the replys Ok i'll give that a go, i have already sprayed that connection with a bit of wd40 and put it on and off the alternator connection a few times to try and clean it up abit, but yeah i'll put a new connection on and go from there. Thanks

hi I think my alternator has packed up, rev counter doesn't work and my battery light came on and stayed on. did a search on here and someone else had same symtoms and it was alternator that was at fault. i've got an old disco i'm using for spares, but that's a 95 basic model, and my new...

It's a 98 300tdi disco

I did find a wire that didn't have a brilliant connection on the back of the alternator, The lights are loads better not sure if it's spot on now or whether i'm looking at them too closely!!!:) And abit early to tell if it's sorted the rev counter as it was tempremental and didn't do it all the...

Ok thanks for your help, I'll start with the earth wire's and if i don't get much luck from that, then alternator cause i'm pretty sure the alternators reasonably new as it's pretty clean. Thanks

would the headlamp wiring affect all the lights to dimmer inc interior and even the yellow fuel light!! ok i'll check out the connections on the alternator, it doesn't look that old so they might be loose. Thanks for that.

Hi Haven't been on for a while, i've just bought a new disco and there are a couple of problems i want to get sorted. All my lights seem to flicker, i've put a multimeter across the battery with it running and i was getting a reading of about 14.8/9 volts so can't see it being the...

Don't they normally have some sort of direction arrow on the sidewall?

Thanks locket, but int that just the same as the write up wills posted. so looks like the bearings definitely have to be pressed out! Think he's managed to get the parts cheaper now. Thanks

Thanks for all the responses. No he's not prepared to pay that, the garage have said missus's dad can get the parts and they'll fit em. By the sounds of it there genuine parts from landrover. Can't you just tap em in to the hub, by the looks of it there very similar to my disco. All i did was...

The missus's dad has got a 4.0 2000 plate range rover, at the minute it's got a loud noise coming from it, he sent it to a garage they've said it's all front wheel bearings. They reckon it's complete hub on both fronts coming in at £320 one side and £350 for the other. Are the hubs sealed...
