If the countersunk head has broken off, then the drum should come off - have you slackened the brakes shoes right off? If not it'll be a b****r to remove. AWEM

The Wabco air suspension pump on my 2001 TD5 Disco had to be changed as it was blowing fuses. I've pulled the old one apart, and all that is wrong is one of the small coil springs that press the brushes onto the comutator has rusted and is no longer entire. Any idea where I might get a spring to resurect the old pump? AWEM

OK Defender wiring diagrams are widely available, and usful when chasing elusive electrical problems, but what I would REALLY like is a 'loom layout diagram' if such a thing exists. ie a wiring diagram that includes what wires are in what loom, and shows the various connectors, pin numbers etc. They must exist to have made the looms in the first place but I've never found a source - anyone know if they are available somewhere on't interweb thingy? Specifically I'm after them for a 1990 110 station wagon. AWEM

Peter, As you drove off the rear door of the Disco swung open!!!! Laura ran after you and tried to slam it shut as you pulled out onto the A21 so I reckon it was only shut on the 'first latch' AWEM

Did you inspect the jounal surface on the crank shaft that the seal lip beds on? If it's been scoured no seal will seal. AWEM

In my newly acquired 1989 110 station wagon, the various wiring harnesses have been mucked about so much that I'm tempted to just replace the lot. Is this a practicality as the vehicle is not being stripped down, or are there places where getting the loom in is not possible without major dissasembly? AWEM

Is there a standard clip / retainer / strap or something to hold the Land Rover bottle jack in a Defender? I've just acquired a 1989 model year 110 Station Wagon that spent it's life up to 2006 in Zimbabwee, came here overland, was re-engined with a 200TDI by the Thatched Garage, is remarkably rust free, but had no jack. I've the L/R bottle jack on order as I know they are good from my Disco, but where / how to stow as it rattles arround rather on bumpy tracks! Incidentally, it came with a Zimbabwee tax disk - 2.4 MILLON Zimbabwee pounds for a year!!!!!! AWEM
