Hello ive managed to buy back my old 90 i sold in 2004 ill try and get some pix up but been modifiying it and security , but i went to malvern 3 county landrover show ,and i hadnt noticed till recently as ive had alot going on ,between landy work my ill missus, but after checking my survelance camera i went to the show with wind deflectors on it but they ripped them off at the show and broke all the plastic trim around window , tbh im dubious about going to peterbourgh show as ive booked for the whole weekend its quite sad since ive fitted x end pedal lock gearbox lock steering lock it has 2 immobilizers alarm nowt more i can do , where can i get anti theft bolts ? thx allan d

hmmmm nige has to be the cummins 6bt engine for me sounds great loads of power bit heavy though have a look on u tube

and if its not leaking omg theres no oil in it !!!!

nigel find yourself a good 98 or 97 disco breaking and put transfer box in aswell straight swap done it on mine the box and transfer cost me 100 quid and the later boxes have the cross drilled shaft and reverse is better glad i done mine

hi no i had already bought an alarm a scorpion one ive now done it but it does not open dsoors with remote no problem it all works ok , thanks tho

in the recent months a load of scumbags living over the road from me took a liking to my camper so had a thatcham alarm fitted to it and since going through disco another two seem to like the truck as someone has tried getting in it so ive a steering lock ect but i have bought a scorpion alarm sa 30 i had one on my other defender , ive wired it in but my disco 200 on a j has no keyfob but has central locking you use a key in drivers door so i thought yeah ill wire it in but it wont work , the lock has a sort of pulse when you operate key and the other wires ,4 in total, 1 live 2 earth 3 lock 4 unlock ive tried crossing it over with a dummy live but no ive also got another universal motot that the alarm works but theres no room in door for it to go , ive looked at alarm instructions but it says 1 for vehicles with negative cdl, im guessing central door lock ,and then positive cdl, but wher on a disco do you connect these wires im lost and advice welcome thx

hi guys ive been wondering what to do i have bought a cobra alarm good one but my disco has central locking but i have to use a key on drivers side does this mean i can connect alarm up to central locking ? or do i have to get an interface ? thx

hi if it was me id get a rear chassis section and change the rot , i really did fancy a d2 but the chassis are shocking considering the chassis is the backbone of 2 tonne ,i would have a good look all around both sides if its ok well weld it up completly and fill it with old oil and waxoil good luck

hi thanks the link is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-INCH-36W-CREE-LED-LIGHT-BAR-WORK-Flood-Beam-SPOT-LAMP-OFFROAD-Truck-4x4-BF00-/281398023900?hash=item4184a116dc

thx guys its in the garage near him and theyre lost at the moment he bought it as a non runner the guy said it just stopped running and its never re started i think hes on about floggin it now its a shame as for a disco its vv clean

hi guys weve tried taking plugs out testing them theyre sparking put blow torch on them timing ok its all there even tried easy start not even attempting to fire ? im lost lol

well ive not had any time for anything on the landy work work and sleep lol ive just ordered q t/wildbear 6degree castor correction arms for the front and heres the pic of the finished winch bumper and winch

hi guys i have found a v good cond v8 discovery on a 1995 m reg but it wont start ,weve tried everything it turns over theres spark lots of fuel , theyve checked distrubutor leads plugs even tried bypassing with hotwire,the voltage is good at coil and when cranking put new fuel in it ,compression ok he is all about to give up but i thought id ask here any ideas thx

the oil filler is the dipstick tube i believe you check it when at running temp ,put foot on brake and run through all gears one at a time moving it from park to 1 twice and then leave in neutral leave engine running it will give you a correct reading then

hi les i bought my premium es 300 tdi few years back with 104 thou on it it was lovely but the chap failed to say hed been towing heavy plant machines hmmm anyway mine developed a like you say a chieeen noise every now and again i thought it was thrust bearing or rings but closer inspection was the flywheel plate it cost me 250 quid labour and 120 quid for the part it had cracked nearly all the way along .

hi maverick nothing wrong with an auto but check gears shift up and down ok and when its ticking over have someone inside put into drive when foot on the brake ok and listen for ant clinking or mettalic noise and try to look at flywheel plate as theyre prone to cracking as i had one and you can get the flywheel plate but its box off job , and have a look at box oil see if its redish and does not smell burnt

hi nige ,guys i fitted 265 75 16s cooper stt tyres ands rims and its lovely had to cut the arches but i prefered it ive also fitted a r380 box as the other one was naff but i find it ok

yes officer i was only doing 30 ,cannot understand why it took 3 football fields and a shop window to stop ,new pads an all!!!! you gotta love ****PART

thanks guys but im going to run it for a while as is its not too bad and im taking head off in summer and it will be right then hopefully

hi to me it sounds like it increases with speed or decreases i would check first wheel bearings front cvs and the obvious one handbrake on the drum side and wheel nuts you never know

hi les thanks ,when i bought the landy i noticed it i then a week later dropped oil out and since then done timing belt and seals was not too bad and then rocker gasget ,had to do gearbox and at same time done oil seal for all genuine ones and gasget behind starter housing also ive now found the last culprit hope fully oilfeed pipe to turbo so ill clean off enging and see but she is smoking on startup so i do suspect valve stem oil seals so thatll be a summer job hopefully

strange that ive recently bought an r380 out of a 98 disco with 90k on it with cross drilled transfer box for 100 quid for both when i drained the oil there seemed to be the wrong oil in it so.my mate that knows lots more than me said put ep 80/90 in transfer box and the red powersteering fluid or auto transmition fluid ,its the red manual box fluid in main box , i kept thinking na ,but ive driven the landy lots and the gear change is wonderfull and it is nor overheating ,maybe oil selection will help

Well i think ive found the culprit the bloody turbo pipe fron the side of the block to turbo steel one its been running back from that seems ok now lol thx guys ive checked dipstick its still mounted to inlet and its solid thx

thx guys ill look into it

hi guys after buying my disco a while back the previous owner had nearly 4 to 6 pints too much oil in it since then ive done front oil seal rear oil seal and ive got an oil leak at the back side near turbo seems like head gasget to me so which type of head gasget would be best to go for any ideas please thx
