My son made a decision to pay a specialist to do his cambelt, worst decision ever! It has been an endless drama since putting right their f××× ups since. The potential to go wrong is there regardless of you doing it or not, ether way it costs...

Change of tack this morning. Instead of ignoring this thread I've decided to ignore some suspension knocks, saggy headlining and a floppy drivers side mirror

Jeepers that's bad, devastating. Nothing to say that could make you feel any better. Gutted for you.

2000 rpm during almost 10 minutes ?

Not sure whether we should laugh or cry.

An easy way to gain access is to release bonnet stay and lean bonnet back against screen, support with a long stick for safety. As I remember the 19j filter is the old type that does not unscrew. A bolt on the top/middle part of housing goes...

Baps are boobies round here. ;)

Correct. Up to the '86 MY the fresh air flap was controlled by a simple linkage, but then LR 'improved' it by means of a vacuum operated solenoid. When mine failed & a replacement was no longer available I simply closed off the vacuum pipe & left...

Mornin and welcome Is it a series two ?

I put up pictures in a post maybe 12 years ago. Swapped motors over from an MGF lock of the same vintage as mine.

Hello all. This is my first Land Rover so please assume total ignorance. I parked up briefly and when I got back in the parking brake wouldn't come off. At the same time I noticed the fuel read zero, even though the tank was full. I think they...

No viscous coupling or traction control on the Disco? I guess limited slip diffs front and rear would help. Not sure how you'd manage the centre diff.

Mornin Happy Fathers day (is it today?) Some beer and a card appeared in my kitchen while I was out last night anyway 😊 Cloudy bright here, just sold a wood vice, got another and a large proper one left to sell. GF bringing a bacon roll / bap /...

Bizarrely the v8 rad is cheaper!

It'll be one very, very black line, with an LT230 🤣 All the power turns to smoke at the inside front wheel when accelerating on corners :( My Disco wears the front left twice as fast as all the other tyres, from lighting up when trying to pull...

Morning All. :D A decent nights kip but then the NDN resumed his DIY building works at 08:56. He is hammer & chiselling out masonry. The noise travels straight through the ground and up our side-wall. :( Looks like a nice day out there, coffee...

Well I would agree with you entirely. The spiel from the raffling org said it was all "souped up" with a stage 2'd head but when I got in touch with the previous owner directly before me he said it was a standard 1275 Metro lump in a Morris Mini...

Well done you have narrowed down the fault on your 25+ year old engine to either the water pump or the PAS pump. If I were you I would treat the engine to an OEM quality replacement of both items which would do you for another 15 to 20+ years...

Yes, it's a good time to do it. I had wanted to do cambelt myself but new to this vehicle so don't want to stuff anything up on such a mission critical job. I've also developed a recent phobia of shearing bolts and I gather there's potential...

I checked all the pulleys yesterday again. Slight distortion in the water pump pulley (that could be the pulley itself), it seems to turn smoothly. Slight bearing friction on power steering. No sideways play on either. Also ran the engine...

Hi. What's the knack for running the water pump / PAS pump one belt at a time?

Sorry for your loss, but you're lucky it didn't spread to the house. I think buy back from the insurance, won't be much, when they see what's left. Fingers crossed, you find another one soon.

I'm not sure which part you mean. Is it the gutter bit at window base to body pls ? I can take a pic tomorrow 😊 She's really coming together now, and I'm sure is going to be really quite special 👍

…and does the gear position displayed on the instrument panel correspond exactly with the position of the gear lever i.e. D in D, N in N, R in R & P in P? Phil
