hi if you are in uk you can do a history check with DVLA online it will tell you results of all mots back to 2005 including failures and why also what the milage readings were at the time of testing. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/Mot/DG_10020539

1. Remove fan cowl upper. 2. Release drive belt tension by turning tensioner clockwise. 3. With tension released, remove belt from generator pulley. 4. Release tensioner pulley. 5. Remove drive belt. Mark direction of rotation on belt if refitting Refit 6. Clean drive belt pulley grooves and ensure grooves are not damaged. 7. Position belt correctly around all pulleys except generator.. 8. Turn drive belt tensioner clockwise. 9. Locate drive belt on generator pulley. 10. Ensure drive belt is squarely located on pulleys with all grooves engaged. 11. Release tensioner to tension drive belt. 12. Fit upper fan cowl section. DRIVE BELT - CHECK TENSION As the drive belt is automatically tensioned, no tension check or adjustment should be necessary. If the drive belt is believed to be slack carry out the following checks: 1. Visually check drive belt tension. 2. Watch movement of tensioner with engine running, 5 mm ’bounce’ is normal. If tensioner movement is 12 mm or more, fit a new tensioner. See Drive Belt Tensioner 3. Inspect tensioner. Is the tensioner arm and spring case in contact? If so fit a new tensioner. 4. Using a recognised drive belt tensioning gauge, check belt tension several times, running engine between checks. The checks should be made at the same point on the belt, away from the tensioner. Drive belt tension, with used tensioner and used drive belt should be more than:- 270N. Non air conditioning or 295N with air conditioning hope this helps.

hi I am sure the bulb holders are the same in indicators so just try a scrapyard and cut the connector off they are usually in good condition hope that helps.

4TH engages around 50mph with light throttle lockup of torque convertor is almost simutaneous kickdown would allow higher speeds before change.

are you sure it is changing into 4th it shouldn't get into 4th until 50mph?

I had mine done professionally only to get stopped by police because drivers & front passengers windows were to dark and did not pass light test I was given an enforcement notice banning me from using the vehicle until tint was removed fortunately i wasn't given a fixed penalty but i could have been so whatever tint you apply make sure its legal because it is easy for police to spot.I was lead to believe my tint was legal by tinting firm.

Hi why not email seller and ask him dimensions any heater matrix that's "fitted" would be quite awkward to measure but this is already removed.

mine went straight on once I removed lower valance the mounting holes in brackets are elongated and allowed for a little movement I also had to remove the number plate "box and the steel fittings behind it they look like little boxes welded on the bumper but my bullbar has a place for fitting number plate so this wasn't a problem.

Hi I think it will go on OK but you might have to make a couple of cuts in the lower spoiler best way is to remove the lower section and cut down so when you refit the bolts hold it in place where its been cut. I have done this and it fits fine .

Cheers thanks

Cheers thanks for quick reply so will they go straight on without the need for spacers?

hi well I've spotted these " LAND ROVER 8JX16 ALLOY WHEELS DISCOVERY RANGE ROVER 8" Item number: 220320875886 " on ebay there local to me but would they go straight on a discovery or would I need spacers as they are wider than the standard 7j that are currently fitted .have sent ??? but no reply as yet.

hi before you start you might want to check out the regs on rebuilding MOT'S are starting to check chassis numbers actually stamped on chassis and not just relying on VIN plates.the following is what D.V.L.A state. Vehicles that have been rebuilt using a mix of new or used parts In order to retain the original registration mark: cars and car-derived vans must use: The original unmodified chassis or unaltered bodyshell (i.e. body and chassis as one unit - monocoque); or a new chassis or monocoque bodyshell of the same specification as the original supported by evidence from the dealer or manufacturer (e.g. receipt). And two other major components from the original vehicle - ie suspension (front & back); steering assembly; axles (both); transmission or engine. If a second-hand chassis or monocoque bodyshell is used, the vehicle must pass a an enhanced single vehicle approval (ESVA) or single vehicle approval (SVA) test after which a "Q" prefix registration number will be allocated.

Hi remove the plug on top of thermostat housing and top the water up through there this should get rid of any air in system.It; a black pastic plug use a socket to remove it and do not over tighten when refitting as it will snap.
