  1. Hi, Last time I was in the area the lane was blocked by mahoosive boulders at the rugby club end... I know the Desert people usually overcome the restictions some how, but the council certainly don't want you there...
  2. Not a straight forward for sale thread really... Have ES Premium Boost Alloys with 6 month old BFG MT's that I need off before friday... Can't be sold on the car, They will fit my new car, may have to buy NEW tyres to sell car! ...anyone want them...cash my way! Any other solutions, can't find any part worns locally... In Newcastle Cheers Mark
  3. Good News! Have extracted the canister from the depths of the dashboard, just need to procure a bypass plug.. Many thanks Mark
  4. Howdee, help please... I have the can type immobiliser on my Disco (not the Spider 'box') The part number is YWJ500020. It is an immobiliser with a key fob (supposed to have 3 actually, I have one, hence the question) Is the loom in the later Disco 1's with this immboliser the same as the older ones.??? Therefore, Can I replace the immobiliser with the bypass loom ...???? Cheers Mark
  5. Options are: 1, Standard (consider renewing) 2, Xenon look halogen, these are easy to find on ebay or Powerbulbs.com 3, HID Xenon upgrade, cheaper than they ever were but still expensive. I think option 2 is the best balance of performance/cost... Auto Express usually do comprehensive bulb tests, have a look on their website.

  6. I once bought a parkers review some time ago that put me off Disco's and onto Shoguns! Basically Manual Gearbox Life Expectancy: 60000miles Auto: 120000miles ...and the associated smoother operation for the rest of the transmission from the auto.
  7. Well, Got the rotor out of the unit, but it was a little worse than yours.... The bearing in the 'cage' at the back of this shot came out with it due to the bearing being seized on the shaft. Even with a soaking in plus gas... Heat got the bearing off and I managed to get the bearing back in the cage..... Whether it stays or not..... ...so If you have issues removing this part, consider using a bit of heat on the back of the motor to expand the bearing.
  8. Top man! I took my motor out and condemned it last week as it looked bad... (like yours) I will now have a go at stripping as I luckily didn't bin it... not sure where the screws are mind! Sunroof has been tested with a Makita on the gearbox (motor removed) and is fine. CHEERS!
  9. Time to get the WD40 and spanners out.. then lie upside down in the footwell!
  10. Not been but I guessed that, we have similar places round here... not as big! ... it sounds absolutely fantastic. I think the issue is that he charges and therefore becomes a business, the laws apply.... If someone gets hurt/killed without these rudimentary safety items in place then he would be in court explaining against long standing legislation... ...The law does not understand or want to know the we are taking these calculated risks... They are wanting to fit GPS tracking to my 190mph death trap! (... oh and then they fit cheese wire safety barriers due to cost!) Grrrrr
  11. I don't know if anyone has the full background to draw conclusions. If they are trying to prosecute under HASAWA 1974, then it must be pretty heavy stuff.. ie fundamental safety breaches. I know we will all have our own view on what is acceptable... I am a biker and new legislation is being raised and tackled week in week out.. The 'powers that be' cannot understand calculated risk taking.. Is it just that 'Tom' has not get the basic Risk Assessments and Method Statements for public access to the site? I know that Stage Rallying have to produce these for every event each year, one of our events is 50yrs old this year and it still applies! It is a sad situation in this country with the nanny state... but when it boils down to it the people who fight it do not have the support they should. ...most roll over, winge a bit, then accept it.
  12. Sorry to Hijack a little... but it is the same subject My seat has a bit of movement front to back... ie it slides forward a few mm when braking hard... ...is this normal or is there a part (or parts) that wear and cause this? Many thanks in advance M
  13. Were the wires attached to controls for the stereo? If the answer is no, i think you do not have rear ICE controls
