Cheers Thanks for the info.

Hi all, I just had a landrover mechanic to drop the box and fit a new clutch fork and pivot. Later that week i had to take it back to have new master and slave cylinder and damper fitted. I crawled under this morning to check stuff,as you do, and found 2 small plastic tubes with rounded ends hanging down in the engine bay. They run from somewhere near the gearbox but i can't see where exactly. They are small black plastic tubes. Any ideas would be appreciated. (breather tubes possibly) Thanks in advance

Hi all Had a coming together with a rather low multi story car park ( three floors ok 4th floor 9inches lower ) Result completely knackered roof including alpines. Has anyone out there ever replaced the rear roof section or knows of a roof panel manufacturer. A real bummer as disco is a goodun, too good to scrap. Thanks all. Great forum, used many times for top dollar infoe.

Hi Go to RJS landrover spares on the net. Then have them on offer for £14.20 plus VAT. I ordered two yesterday one for each side as both of mine had come unwelded. Good luck

Hi all Both front window winders have fallen apart Spot welds gone on the toothed quadrant. I am going to buy 2 new ones from RJS landrover spares as they have a offer on. They want MA numbers to identify the correct model. Where can i catch sight of these numbers Cheers

Try running another earth cable from the block to battery earth. My 300 tdi manual did all this and after months of parking on hills just in case I needed to bump her. I had another earth cable made up to run from the battery earth to the air con block and never looked back. Just a thought and easy to try with a couple of crocodile clips and a piece of cable. Good luck

Cheers for the replies. Took the battery to my local battery palace and had it load tested and guess what its OK. Probably got away with it because it is a refillable one and not a maintenance free one,(ie not sealed.) The suppliers of the alternator reckon the diode pack is us and a new one is on the way. Will fit tommorrow and let you know the result. Thanks again

Hi all I took my disco for a run on sunday and the battery boiled. I let it cool and refilled it and put it on trickle charge . It now reads 13.68 volts disconnected. I take it its nackered. The alteranor and battery are only 16 months old. I am getting 14.6ish volts when ticking over across battery terminals. Is there a seperate voltage regulator or is it in the alternator. Has anyone got any ideas b4 I go and buy a new battery and alternator. Thanks in advance.

Hi all Some time back I had a new set of tyres fitted. The other day I noticed that the front passanger side tyre was wearing on the outside edge as though the tracking was out,only the drivers side is ok. The tyre place checked the tracking and said it was 4 deg toe in but could not adjust because of a siezed adjuster bar. Has anyone got any ideas as to the uneven wear. Thanks in advance.

Hi Discojason, If you can see rust on floor from the OUTSIDE lift the back carpet and sound proofing and check the inside. Probable new floor required. If there is rust on the inner wings again more grief, had to have both jobs done on mine. You really need to ivestigate the rust issue Be careful

Hi I replaced my boot floor and cross members with parts from Paddocks. I used large headed pop rivets for the cross members and Tech bolts for the edges. It passed without a mention. But I had already asked the original test centre if this would be OK and they said NO IT HAD TO BE WELDED. Seems like a dodgy area to me.

Hi all, A strange noise started today,(nothing new there then). I tracked it down to the alternator pully. When I removed the belt the pully seems to have disintegrated in the middle. The nut holding it in place is tight but the pully is blowing in the wind and is rubbing on the alternator housing. Will I have to get a new alternator or just a new pully. Its the large 61mm pully whats the best and quickest place to get one LR want £27.00 plus vat. Thanks in advance Keep it up.

I did mine with parts from paddocks(cross members floor pan) and pop rivets undersealed and it went through OK.

Hi all again, Just replaced rear floor with help from you guys (thanks again). Is removing and resealing the alpine lights an easy job or just a pain in the a$*. Can you buy new rubber seals anywhere. Thanks in advance
