You state that it stays around 45ºC, how do you know that? If you're guessing that's an odd statement to make. But, I rather suspect that you're getting that data from a couple of potential sources: 1 - Diagnostic from the ECU in which case, the...

Yes , so I don't need lots of cooling as mostly work truck then holiday hauling. I used to have pump and stuff in race mode but I rebuilt pump and put back to standard.

So got a bit of a mystery with drivers side window switches and mirror switches. None working , been through the fuses all good, tried a brand new switch, disconnected battery for 30 mins to reset the system and still nothing.Rubber hose...

yep, as in the General E Lee :)

I had a lot of "fun" trying to get o rings for my Mustang injectors. Went to a specialist who told me that the measurements that are critical are the diameter and the cross section (how thick the rubber is). So you want to measure your Outer...

You can't "bypass" the immobiliser all you can do is to disable it with nanocom or hawkeye once the vehicle is remobilised, while it's immobilised you can't do anything You have to rule out the receiver first cos if that's the problem a second...

I’ll take a picture to show mine (funarrr, funarrrr). Kinda of a specialist need, RC is proper off-roading with a max of 40 kmph / 25 mph. Hence lots of cooling required!

Maybe nearly halfway through the job I hate most on the Disco. Emptying the sump. Cannot get the sump plug off, haven't been able to for ages, so I syphon it, or pump it out through the dipstick tube. Takes flipping ages and the handpump is next...

Yes mine still works. Had to re-gas a few months back dues to leaking compressor, but all good now.

Patio cleaner to etch and then paint

Hi Andy. I"ve chatted with you a few time b4, but now I really do need your help. I need to swap my Serengeti TD4 Auto for something different, probably another LR, but another 4x4 would be good, or I need someone to Spark Up my present car. New...

A what??

I've found Wych Bearings to be very helpful in finding o-rings if you give them the measurements and use. Brake fluid is a harsh fluid though. Possibly ring Wabco in Buckingham, UK, although you will need the measurements as they threw all their...

The parts below were removed from a 1998 disco 1 v8. I have a ZF 4hp22 autobox with torque converter, dip stick tube and dip stick, gear selector and cable, what i presume is kick down cable, gearbox cooler lines, gearbox cooler, aluminium...

As what you are asking is basically "How can I nick a Disco once I've got the door open?" you won't find it I doubt. But someone may be willing to PM you with the info.

You have a Dixie airhorn?

Yes, it looks possible to get a hand in from underneath but not much room. The RAVE method is to remove the battery and then its tray!

That's a good price, will be interesting to see how well it lasts. Let us know if it goes wrong in the future.

It sounds like front install is not much difference to rear. Obviously factory is cleaner and user friendly. Has anyone tried front only electric full size fan. Does the temp change or the engine/bonnet heat an issue. Anyone else have advice or...

Taking fan off for horsepower or fuel increase only works on petrol not square boxes

OOOOO that's helpful Loafer ! My viscus fan still works great without shroud. I was thinking the electric fan full size of radiator has it's own shroud. Contemplating front install for space between rad and engine...no fan on engine side. Or can...

An update, some background and some further questions please: I've done the easy stuff: the key solder all looks good. I've checked the internal fuse box for corrosion = none. I've also monitored the battery: After running for half an hour the...

I have done bulkheads, chassis and lots of galvanised brackets from YRM. The technique and order I use is: T-wash Primer Topcoat Dintrol The primer I use depends on the applications and part, I use an acid etch primer for body panels, and Zinc...

For drivers side horn I found it's easier to reach up from under the car through the battery tray to access it. As a "temporary" fix for my last MoT/testing I got a plug kit and crimped on the female prongs and then pushed them onto the male...

This, you are not going to believe!! Decided to bite the bullet and whip the head off to check the followers. While doing do I thought hmmm, this rocker seems a bit dry ... Not much oil...... Finally got the head off to find the head gasket is...

I glued my old fabric back on with impact contact adhesive and it has not sagged yet. There is clearly different fabrics used though as three out of four of the sections I have done this with have been fine, but the fourth reacted and wrinkled...

Cheers pal, I really enjoyed doing that one. Id say around 1500 as above for it. Ive been offered a series 2 for 1500 just waiting on some pics. Not sure if I need another project ive got a few on the go lol.

Theres a galvanized chassis and bulkhead sitting outside my workshop at the moment waiting to be decorated with the components from my very rusty 90 but i keep reading and hearing conflicting information regarding how to prepare it for paint...

...Fun & Games this morning. Wife went up to her Ma's for the usual Tuesday bin preparation and shopping list collection. Found the old gal collapsed on the floor, all the indications are that she was there all night. Totally out of it and less...
