  1. Mods, please delete this question. Was being stupid.
  2. Hi all. 1989 range rover axles on a defender. Quick question. I've rebuilt my front differential. Replaced all bearings etc. Thought I had some Ep 90 oil in garage but it turned out to be 75/ 80 mineral oil. Gl 4 rated. Can I use this until I get some EP90 for it. Not going a long way but just want to get it MOT'd and back on the road.
  3. That's chucked a spanner in the works. Never heard of this, thanks for the info. Honiton hobbit, cheers I've looked at a few d3's and I think I prefer td5. I like simplicity.
  4. Hi, yea I'd heard that the d3 can be an expensive repair when certain items wear out. I'm still tempted though. I guess I'll have to look at some to make my final decision. I'm planning on doing a lot of mileage on my travels and want to get it right without too much messing about.
  5. Hi, I'm currently looking for a new motor to tow a 28 foot caravan around. I'm fancying an 04 plate Td5es but am tied between that and an early D3. I'm slightly afraid of all the electrics on the d3. Has anyone any thoughts on which motor is best to tow with and reliability issues. I've owned a Td5 before and liked it a lot.
  6. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252583887465 Hi, I'm thinking about buying the above as my swivels are pitted. Anyone any experience with them. I see that they are britpart but I can't find any alternative makes. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
  7. I got a full set of stainless nuts,bolts and washers for my ongoing 90 refurb. Bling.
  8. Yea had a look at their site. Not much on there without registering. Thanks . Anyone on here any ideas. I put. Some of the kit on fleabay and it went mad. Watchers and offers flying in. I've taken them off for now to research them properly prior to relisting them later.
  9. Hi. I've just acquired my next project vehicle, a 1967 series 2a. I'm told it was initially an ambulance. It was later converted to a radio vehicle. This is a photo of her loaded up ready for journey home. There are various bits of radio equipment I want to sell but don't know their value. A pole aerial on the rear panel that extends. Two aerial pods on the wings. A radio bulkhead with map lights and fire extinguisher and two radio sets. Can anyone please assist with rough values. I'm clueless. Thanks Max
  10. Hi Chaps, I'm now the proud owner of a 1996 Discovery that's in need of some TLC. it's a Mot failure that I've picked up cheap. Needs new outer sills and some electric issues. One of the back doors wouldn't open so I've removed the lock mechanism and need a new rod that's in this photo Can anyone give me the part number please. I've looked all over and can only find the complete unit for sale. I was Landroverless for six months after selling my hybrid but now back in the game and it feels good, I built a large carport last year and the wife asked why I was using nine by four timbers,, perfect for lifting engines out with the old block and tackle. Anyway your help would be appreciated in solving my current issue. Max
  11. Now a Discovery 1 owner

  12. Also remember that the IVA test fee is 500.00
  13. You have to ask yourself why it's on a q plate. Also why it's on a buy it now for eight grand. If you can answer these questions satisfactorily then it may be worth a look. My truck is on a q plate and insurance comPanies take the mickey with premium costs.
  14. It's not that bad to get a well built vehicle through the I VA test. The test itself is very thorough but common sence dictates that if you take a shed then they will climb all over it They check speedo calibration and measure the wheelbase at various points. All wiring has to be fixed at various distances to the chassis or body. All fluid reservoirs have to be clearly marked as to their contents( I still have some spare stickers that someone on here kindly made for me). If you need to speak to me then pm and I will give you my number.
