Does anyone know someone who's done this / done it themselves? My '89 defender has just decided it doesn't need a big any more so I'm in need of a new engine, but rather than just plonking in a replacement, its got me thinking about converting it. The truck only does about 20 miles a day round...

Hi chaps, Found myself the new owner of a motorbike, only my 'fender is otherwise engaged, so I'm without a tow car Is there anyone about or can anyone recommend a decent courier to pick it up from Stamford and drop in back just north of Aylesbury? Obviously its gonna cost but would like to...

Sorry to re visit an already beaten horse but I'm having trouble deciding between looking for 4.6 v8 or the 2.5 TD RR Looking to trade up from my '96 2.5TD, and although initially I was just looking at diesels, I keep getting swayed by the thought of a nice big v8. plus you seems to get more...

Sorry, yet another post about p38 thermostats How the F*@K do you get to the thermostat? on a 1996 BMW Diesel I have the parts, got the workshop manual, and got me tools. But seriously looks like I have to take the whole bloody radiator, fan and cowling off just to get to the stat? and its...

I've got a spare set of brake discs laying around the garage, brought brand new for a '95 discovery 300tdi. does anyone know if they would fit a '96 P38? If it saves me having to go out buying a whole new set that'll be my friday night made :D If not i'll just flog em cheers

Do any of you chaps know somewhere that I could get my 300tdis swapped over, local to aylesbury? I've ended up with two disco's, one with rotten rear arches but great engine, and one with a blown and warped head but good everything else. I would attempt it myself, but I have neither the...

Hi all, Fairly urgent question for you all just picked up a D1 300TDi, on the way home (2hour dive) the temp hardly lifted off its stop, saying stone cold the whole way. The motor smelled a bit hot though, and when I got home, opened the bonnet and sure enough out comes the steam. the fan...

evening, my poor d1 has finally bitten the dust, courtesy of the tin worm, so im looking around for a replacement. found a '99 d2, with a TD5, only problem is its 2.5k and done 240,000 miles. massively overpriced i know, but my main worry is that the engine is crapped out at nearly a quarter...

Right chaps, got a problem for you all to solve. already done a search and couldn't find anything specific. The problem I'm having is then I make large sharp-ish turns, like round a round-about, I get a loud knocking from the wheel area, like its catching on something, and the steering wheel...

After realising recently I had a permanently wet carpet, I finally decided to just strip the whole lot out. Took me a fair few hours this morning, but I've managed to get rid of all the carpet and soundproofing, which was completely sodden and starting to rust the floor. After clearing it...

going to have a go at replacing the brake discs and pads this weekend, but I think i need me some tools. Ordered a hub nut tool and bleeder kit at the same time, but other than that is there anything specific I need? Also my old jack has just packed in, anyone recommend a good (cheap)...

hey chaps, just looking for a bit of advice on what could be the issue with the dash lights had a search on other threads but still not quite sure basically had a new engine put in, and since then the only lights coming on are the handbrake light, where before everything was working :(...

So on my way home from Coventry this afternoon, after a 200 mile round trip my exhaust fell off. with 50 miles to go. managed to bodge it to get home, but closer inspection now reveals that the midbox has completely rotted away from the rear pipe. everything forward of the centre box is...

hey chaps, looking to get some mud flaps for my disco, but wondering if i need extra brackets to put them on? probably just going to get them from paddock - RTC6820NG | Front Mudflap Kit (pair) - Non Genuine but do i need the extra bracket on either front or back? had a poke round the...

I've been looking around online and lots of people recommend removing the EGR for better fuel economy, performance etc.. After a poke round my car, its got me thinking if its actually worth doing? Nothing wrong with the motor at the moment. Would it perhaps pre-empt any future problems...

Hey all, just joined as I've bought my first Landie, a royal blue 3 door '96 disco :D Great site you have here which I have already used for buying guides. Im sure you'll probably see me very soon in the help section as I have a tendency to take things apart then forget how to put them back...
