With ANPR cameras that can read through mud???

I've followed this and some other threads quietly, and for sure I agree something needs to be done about abuse of the dwindling number of lanes we are allowed to drive. To be honest I'm not sure about the issuing of licences and it's associated beaurocracy, so perhaps I can offer an alternative...

hi, did you get anywhere with your freelander problem? If the engine lamp has come on, the computer will 'remember' the cause and when interrogated by a diagnostic machine will give a fault code/codes. I think you need to get the codes read again, that will give a direction in which to look, and...

I've never seen a failed cat on a tdv8 in 5 years of repairing them, although there is always a first time! Turbo failure is usually accompanied by oil in the exhaust and subsequent smoke. Usually the N/S turbo seizes, and the O/S seals fail, I have no idea why it always ends up this way, but...

Unfortunately head work on these engines can get expensive very quickly. Don't be tempted to skimp on a pressure test, it's a lot of work to do and then find you're still pushing coolant out. I assume you have a cooling issue, rather than diesel in the sump, this too is often caused by a crack...

A while ago we had a Porsche cayenne in with the same thing, starter inside the Vee, buried under the inlet manifold. Crazy design, took almost as long to find it as to replace it! I sometimes think the idiots that come up with these ideas should be made to work on what they dream up........

Hi everyone, does anyone on here have experience of the high ratio transfer box available from Ashcroft transmissions? I have a 200tdi powered 109 series 3 that is very undergeared. It has 235/85 tyres but standard gearing. I want the speedo as accurate as possible (although that is clearly very...

Evening everyone. Just a thought, does anyone know if it's possible to buy a rear chassis repair section for D2s anywhere? Last week I spent 1 1/2 days welding steel to rust on a really early (Sreg!) TD5 Disco. It would have made more sense to just cut off the rot and weld a new section in, but...

just a though, i had a 110 doing similar things.....it was a crownwheel bolt had fallen out and taken big lumps off the teeth!!....i hope you're luckier than me and its something simple like a cv joint or drive flange.......... good luck, these faults can be really frustrating!

its not fitted with hand throttle,or any throttle at the moment! i'm not worried about using the series linkage to look 'right'as it now has the wrong engine in it!. i am definately going to use a defender pedal.

yes, it was. now its very diesel!

its got the rod linkage on it. the whole series linkage seems like a very awkward way of doing a very simple thing! so i've decided to take it all off and use a simple defender pedal thanks!

Help! we're in the process of fitting disco 200tdi into my trusty crusty series3. we've tried several different solutions to connect the throttle pedal to the pump,and decided that a defender pedal is the way to go. all i need to do now is find one! does anybody have one that they would like to...

sorry nigel,no offence intended!:doh: definateley one to put down to experience!!
