Is there any chance that these are still available? :rolleyes: I'll have them if they are! Thanks. Aaron

Thanks, I appreciate the quick reply, but, have been trying with large Mole Grips and the plug seems quite soft, it just rounds even more! Tried a chisel too to try and turn it but no luck there either, was thinking maybe heat on it might help loosen the grip?

Went to do an oil change this afternoon, found that my sump drain plug was chewed and rounded off (it's even worse now!) Is there anyone on here who would be interested in doing the necessary (maybe welding another nut to it and removing it that way?) for a reasonable price please? I'm in...

Hi all, had a bit of bad luck today, noticed a small pool of PS fluid under my Discovery, on checking it seems the bottom pipe off the bottle/resevoir has been rubbing against the engine and has worn the metal part of the pipe through allowing fluid to escape. I'm just guessing but knowing...

Heard a terrible tale of depreciation only the other day, mate bought a VW Toerag about 3 years ago, the V10, 5.0 Tdi one, cost new was £65K ish, he paid £47K as an ex demo, ran it 2 years, put 30 odd K miles on it, took it to p/x and was offered £16K for it!!!!!! Oh how I laughed ...

No, of course not. The old style lamps on the vehicle now have the LR badge raised in the glass, I'm not unhappy with the quality and finish of the new lamps, but, if I paid for LR then I should get LR, they aren't the bargain they first appeared. My hard luck I guess, it wasn't like I was...

Just bought the front lamp upgrade for my D2 to change it to the 03 type lamps, ebay seller is quite specific that they are genuine LR parts, parcel arrived today, the headlamp units are Bearmach, no LR badge on them. I'm not unhappy with the quality, but if it says genuine parts then I'd like...

Well it was a bit easier than removing the pipes completely, as it was only the low pressure side I thought it would probably be ok to simply remove the piece of pipe that worn through and replace the section with some rubber high pressure hose, job took about an hour in the end, it was a bit...

:D It would be a great help please if you wouldn't mind, very much appreciated.

Hi all, have tracked my leak to the pipe that is at the higher level from the Power Steering fluid bottle, it has been rubbing against the intercooler pipe just above the chassis rail and has worn through enough to start weeping (me too!) Is the replacement of this pipe a DIY job or am I best...

That's the fella! Thank you very much for your posts, much appreciated.

Hi all, have recently noticed a small stain on the drive just in front of the front passenger side wheel, when I look from under the bonnet it seems to be around the pipe that is at the highest level from the power steering fluid resevoir ........... is there a known issue with anything in this...

:o Sorry for the delay in replying, and thanking you for your reply! I've only just seen this reply, thanks for your time and trouble, much appreciated. Next stop is to try the dealers I guess, failing that will have to try breakers. All the best

Hi all, bought an electric dimming interior mirror very cheap on ebay this week, but it's missing one of the plastic trims that hide the wiring, wondering if they are available as seperate parts from main dealer? Part number would be a great help if anyone has a parts disc please? Many thanks.

Yes mate it is, well it is according to my handbook anyway, it says under battery type on page 200: Petrol: Group 24 sealed for life Diesel: Group 31 sealed for life Rating: Petrol 72 amp/hr Diesel 110 amp/hr Maybe it says 72 in the parts book too, hence me having the wrong one? Seems ok...

Hi all, recently replaced the battery in my D2 TD5, but with the wrong battery it seems :rolleyes:. I was sold a 72Ah battery (for petrol version I think) whereas it seems it should have been a 110Ah, everything is ok ............ for now, but I'd rather spend again (or give the eejit that sold...

Don't you just love intermittent faults ................ :( It's working perfectly today! Guessed at a bad connection as when I took the connector off it was a bit powdery, cleaned it up and replaced it and all seems fine now, until next time! :rolleyes: Many thanks for the replies, it's good...

Hello Steve, thanks for the reply. Would it be ok to use a longer wire and touch it to an earth point while I'm sitting in the drivers seat (all on my own here today) I think it sounds like it would but thought I should check! :) Temp gauge sender doesn't sound expensive, but then again you...

Hi all, The temp gauge stopped indicating any temperature in my TD5 Discovery today, the red light is on above the gauge but the needle is right at the bottom as though there is no power to it ..................... :confused: Have any of you good gentlemen any suggestions as to where to start...

Happy day for me!!! Lots of spraying with penetrating oil, loads of wiggling and little ****ting with a hide hammer, and tonight I'm the very happy owner of a working diff lock! Even the light works, how happy am I!? Thanks for the help!
