depends if they are 10 or 24 spline. Went to swap the front stubs from my disco (24 spline) to our comp RRC (10 spline) to fit ashcroft CV's, shafts and locker we found that we ended up having to change all of the internals (stubs, CV's, Drive shafts and diff) on the front and the rears have an oil seal on the shaft with a 24 spline axle.

If its a new tow bar that you want I have the one that I took off mine, as I was using it more like a plough. Make me a sensible offer and I'll find out postage for you to your postcode. I've got a Home brewed removable one on mine so surplus to requirements and it'll stop SWMBO nagging it's in the way.

After tapping in with the socket did you give the centre of the coreplug a couple of taps with a small hammer/socket extention? Core plugs are domed and tapping them a couple of times in the middle expands them in the hole locking them in (providing there put the right way in) Blue hylomar wouldn't hurt if used aswell. HTH

Still on thread but not landrover related, I sold a huge fish tank via flea bay a few years back and the buyer worked for the admiralty (servicing navigation bouys) even though he was out at sea communications were very good. I was able to phone him and vice-versa we kept in contact through the auction until the final day to go he informed me that he would be at sea for at least a month after the auction ended.............. Here we go, I thought to myself got myself a time waster here. We kept in contact until he was back in the UK when he phoned to say he was on his way to collect. I can understand your concerns as all sorts of things were going through my head, but it must be hard from their end with all the scammers around. Good choice on reporting them though as this does sound a bit dodgy to me too.

not 100% sure disco 2's were fitted with different mirrors but sounds like you've been sold 300tdi ones to me. I had to replace a glass on my '94 300tdi. It was listed as '94 mirror glass, so bought it not knowing there was a differance. When it arrived it was a lot smaller. Turns out it was for the 200tdi. HTH Bri

I tend to use a screwdriver bit, the ones that come with cordless drills etc and a pair of pliers HTH Bri

Correct me if I'm wrong but, shouldn't your insurance cover you for greenlanes as they are part of the highway, hence the need for seatbelts to be worn, vehicle taxed,MOT'd and insured etc..........seems to me that insurance companies are searching for extra money.

Not too sure about the non-sunroof version but mine was a simple case of working from the rear, removing the trim around the alpine lights then the grab handles and the sun roof controls, That would then leave you the pocket above the windscreen the sun visors and interior light wires. With a bit of manovering here and there it should come out of the rear door. Between the material and plastic/hardboard material there is a thin layer of foam. this seperates the material and plastic/hardboard letting it sag. Mine got sprayed because I got in such a mess with spray adhesive trying to re-attatch it that I gave up and just sprayed it.

I was toying with the idea of installing a 12v ceramic heater in the ducting system after the fan to give instant heat in my disco as it takes a good 1/2hr to even get a slight temperature difference at the screen.

They are sat in-front of the rad on a diy bracket and wired to a switch with warning light on the dash telling us we've not forgot to turn them on. We find that by having them on a switch we can shut them off if entering any deep water. Yes, we did forget to turn them on once, took a good 1/2 hr to get on the warm side so shows they are up to it. Air flow is really good as they will suck in and shred the odd leaf every now and then.

Our RRC challenge truck (v8) is running 2x air con fans instead of a viscus one. Not had any cooling issues at all while compeating all day.

A bit of advise if you are repairing a saggy lining. Once you have it out of the truck then peel off the material. Lightly brush off the foam and then spray with a satin black or grey. Done it to mine and looks great.

I'm a member of Challenge Southwest who run winch challenge events in the west country. One of our top competitors co-driver has a remote for the winches, all 3 if I remember correctly. If you sign up to the forum I'm sure he would be willing to give you some advise as to what he is using. He goes by the name of 'Odd Limbs' HTH best of luck.

I've put a straight through set up on my 300tdi. MOT'd last month and nothing said about volume, did however get pulled the other day and not a problem. There is nothing in the MOT regs that say there should be a silencer as long as the system is sealed then good to go . Will be getting the volume measured as a precaution as I'm sure there are louder 'jap' cars running round. Didn't go for the side exit but kept it tight behind the bumper pointing downwards. HTH

Simples, open the glovebox and hang bag handles on the catch then close the glovebox. The bag will hang even while taking a greenlane as a shortcut.
