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??

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...

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...

I've spotted these rust holes on both sides at the back of my disco, just behind the bumper. Will it fail the MOT because of em?

Hi, Well i mini serviced my landy yesterday, started it up and it seemed to be ok then it started to make a tapping sort of noise, i thought it was the lift pump, came on here and saw a couple of posts from Trewy saying that the vacuum pump makes that sort of noise. Went back out and used a...

Hi I fitted a new power steering pump a few months ago, at slow speeds the steering is quite heavy, feels like the pump isn't doing it's job properly, but it does'nt make any sort of noise. The steering box was adjusted around the same time. So doe's this sound like the pump has failed or the...

When im driving, and then use the clutch, the revs drop a fraction past 750 rpm (idle speed) and then pick up back to 750. If i put biodiesel in it, then the revs drop a little bit more then normal diesel and pick back up to idle.Once the engine did cut out because it dropped to low!! Is this...

Hi, I've run my disco a couple of times on bio. Each time i did, if i've been driving for around 10 mins, without changing gear, when i do the revs seem to drop lower than idle (bout 500rpm) and then pick back up to idle bout (750rpm). Once it went to low and cut out completely, it started...

Hi, I'm trying to run my disco on bio, i've read that if you run on pure B100 in the colder months, then there's the risk of it freezes and go's into a gel form, so your better off runing a 50/50 mix through winter. When i fill up i have to travel about 30 miles, so would like to start...

I've just put £50 of biodiesel (B100) in my disco from nearly empty. I know i need to clean sedimentor bowl out and change filter at around 500 mile. By wed/thurs i'd of done around 200 mile, i'll then be going away covering an extra 600 miles. Would i be better of changing filter and cleaning...

I've got a tiny bit of play in my steering box. But before i go and tighten it up i just wanted to ask a Qs. My steering pump has got a slight leak, if i tightened the box adjustment would that make the steering too tight when i got round to fitting a new pump? Is it possible to make the...

I'm wanting to fill my disco up with 100% biodiesel, after i saw a post from charlesY, giving advice to someone because they had trouble with black smoke. I just wanted to try 100% bio as charles suggested. I'm strugling to find somewhere in derby or burton that sells 100% anyone know of...

Hi i'm thinking about getting rid of my disco, and was wondering how reliable is 90 or 110. When i fix summat on the disco, something else soon rears it's head. Are the defenders the same, just as you fix summat your straight onto the next problem? Also i've heard the 110's aren't great...

Had to replace the rear hub, because the bearing had completely fell apart and the hub was really worn. Got the new bearing races in ok, go to put the hub on complete with bearings and seal. Push the hub on and can't seem to get it far enough on to be able to get the spacer on never mind the...
