[Front Propshaft]

If you are going to use a spacer, and need to swap the flange, why not make an adaptor?

sales opportunity for someone??

[Towing a Sankey with a Disco]

I have a southdown tankguard

make sure if you have a lift and or bigger tyres that you buy the towing attatchment for a 110, as the disco one they sell leaves the towball about 3 inch too high on the bottom hole with 2 inch lift and 275/75/16s

I would have thought if you needed a tankguard you would have bigger tyres and a lift?

southdown are aware of this.

[Should I even be remotely considering buying this?]

Blanchards have had those sitting on the front for 8 years to my knowledge,

they were rough when I first saw them.

[Discovery 2 Trim Levels]

ACE was an option.

[Disco 2 Door Locks]

I dont think you are meant to be able to unlock using the door buttons, the switch on the dash locks and unlocks.

[TD5 Loss of Power then cuts out]

the td5 is a landrover engine. NOT a bmw one.

[Discovery 1 - 300 TDI - Snorkel]

But the small pipe must strangle the engine?

[buying disco 1 (3 door)]

It depends if the MOT man knows where to look?

I know that 3 door cills are harder to repair than 4 door ones.

[Twin selectable tanks - IP fuel return]

but that wont get any air out of the system.

[Rust treatment]

Mmmm atlantic salmon oil

[AWDC Truck of the Year]

you mean its NOT super articulation?

[disco 2 adjustable steering column, will it fit my 1993 disco 1]

The 300 tdi disco had an ajustable column too, may be easier.

[Disco 200 - sudeenly slow to start]

on a cold start, try priming the lift pump, if it starts ok,its air in the system,

probably something got disturbed in the test?

have a look at the sedimentor.

[Air helper springs...]

I have them on the back of my disco, as the springs are too soft for heavy towing, a few pounds in them stiffens the rear up,

one problem is you cannot use dislocation kit.

I got round it by welding a spring catcher on the turret.

[Environmentalism: Lasting Dependablity Vs. Modern Innovation]

I thought most V8s dropped to 4 pots when they saw a puddle?

[running like a pig!]

They are about £30, not worth trying to clean and seal the old one.

[Disco 1 welding needed :-(]

The welding is a half hour job,

I usually clean the rust up and get back to decent metal, then holding a plate underneath seam weld from the top grind flat and fill, a coat of seam sealer/underseal from underneath and the job is done,

for the abs light check the wheelbearings.

[Insurance Valuation for a pimped Disco]

Im with Flux, they asked for a breakdown of my valuation, so I totted up the cost of the bits I have fitted, they agreed so we have gone from there.

[Importing a Defender to UK]

I have to ask why bother?

there are plenty here, I am sure it would be easier to sell it there and buy another here.

[300 tdi to look like td5 facelift]

anything is possible, with a bit/lot of bodywork.

[wheels past arch !!]

You are doing it the wrong way?

most people fit bigger arches and a lift to accomodate bigger tyres, not look for tyres to fill and arch.

why not go for 275/75/16s and spacers if you want them sticking out more?

[Which winch,and bumper?]

I would look at a goodwinch or Champion tds,

unless you intend using it daily or competing.

[Replacing the lift pump]

My main reason for asking is that my mate's Defender appears to eat lift pumps every six months or so and we can't work out why.......

do the lift pumps come in a blue box?

[de cat or is it a waste of time and money?]

Mine turned over 240,000 today,

on the original engine.

[Whats Your Land Rover New Year Resolution?]

To put the TDi in the bobtail and have it back on the road.
