Hi all... Does anyone know what the thread is on the bottom pin connection of an OME shock absorber? The nut seems to be 3/4", but I'm not sure if it's an imperial or a metric thread... No idea what's standard in Australia. I've googled but can't find any online info on this. Reason I ask is...

I'm doing a suspension refurb and have replaced back springs. Shock absorbers are currently off the vehicle, which gives good access to the trailing arms. Both trailing arm chassis bushes are knackered and the chassis mountings are heavily rusted. I want to remove the trailing arms and treat...

OK, I've had the headlining out twice, have replaced the seals, have siliconed copiously, I've studied (and contributed to some of) the previous threads on here about this, I'm now totally fed up of these stupid sunroofs. Does anyone do a kit to totally remove them, and replace them with a...

Hello, I'm hoping some of you with knowledge and wisdom can help me sort out what is wrong with my 1998 300tdi. For the last couple of months it has been increasingly difficult to start; the starter turns over fine but the engine is very reluctant to fire. When it does cough into life it then...

Hi, does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere so that you can store copies of sent messages in your sent items box by default? At the moment I've got to remember to tick a box on each pm I send, and I keep forgetting, which means I can't see pms I've sent. Thanks, M.

Hi, I've spent this hot afternoon sealing up the rear sunroof on my disco with sealant. Changing the rubber seals, re-greasing and cleaning the drain pipes didn't work, I've had enough of it. Hardly ever open the thing so now its a fixed glass panel in the roof. Will wait and see if it still...

Anyone going to this event... BBC News - Off-roading 'threatening' north Wales wildlife and land ...to ensure the meeting has even a little balance? Article suggests it will just be the 'ban all off-road driving brigade' in attendance.

BBC News - Illegal off-roading is 'disaster for habitats' in Wales :(

1998 300tdi Pulled onto the M4 this evening in the normal chaos of rain and lorries and noticed that the green light for indicators was flashing on the dashboard. Thought indicator hadn't cancelled when I pulled off top of slip road, but pushing switch stem up or down didn't cancel the light...

Hi, I've spent the day unsticking my stuck diff-lock lever. Everything was going back together just fine until I got to refitting the handbrake cable to the lever. Couldn't get the cable to slide up into the handbrake lever far enough to put the pin through. Tried several times then had a...

Windscreen wipers problem. They clear the screen fine and work as normal, however when you turn them off they park in the vertical position up and down the screen. A deft bit of timing with your finger when turning them off gets them to park in the normal horizontal position, so no real issue...

Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice on fixing high SWR on my CB set up. I know there are some CB gurus on here. CB is a Midland 77-095; it's been sat in the shed for 20 years but I don't see why it shouldn't work. As I had the head-lining out of the disco I ran some new coax to a new...

Hi, does anyone have a wiring diagram for wiring a worklight? I want to be able to control the light from either of two switches, one on the dashboard and one just inside the back door. If one switch has turned it on I want to be able to turn it off by switching either the same switch or the...

My head-lining is lying upside down in the middle of the living room floor, a situation that has arisen due to leaky sunroof syndrome. My wife is not going to tolerate this for more than a few days. Does anyone have any recommendations for something to clean 14 years of grime out of it...

Hi all, hope I can get some advice... Rear brake discs were knackered on my disco so I have taken off the hub and replaced disc with new. I also need to replace the pads as they are likewise very badly worn. Problem I've got is with new pads and disc (all mintex) I just cannot get the second...

Hi, have finally signed up after having lurked around the site for years to find useful nuggets of information... Now on my third l/r. First was a 1971 series IIa swb, second an L-reg defender 90 and the current one is a 1998 Disco Aviemore. Currently getting the disco sorted out ready to...
