Hi guys
I live in Trinidad in the West Indies
recently parted with my 1985 soft top land rover short wheel base [still regretting it]
now have a 1995 tdi300 discovery, have been going through every thing bit by bit and making good progress. brakes, injector pump, gaskets, fluids, lights, you name it, but it has been fun.
planning to remove the sump, install new gasket with sealant next oil change.
and to change the instrument bezel [in beige] as soon as I can find one.
I like: offshore fishing, photography, classical guitar, wood working, mountain biking, hiking. the dico plays a part in all those activities except the guitar bit,
it just does not seem to have the delicate touch necessary for learning to play the guitar

Hi guys
Ive just joined the forum.
I hope to learn from fellow landy owners.
I own a 1997 Defender 110 which is currently down because of fuel system problem.
A local mechanic managed to get it start & iddle but once one presses the accellerator the engine goes off. There is also smoke even though it isnt rich like before the carburrators were cleaned and set. What could be the problem?

Do a quick search. Sounds like fuel starvation. There are threads about it. Filters usually

Hello all interested,
I`ve owned a TD5 disco new new, 2001, and its been a fairly good vehicle to date.
Its covered 47k miles from new and is in good order throughout apart from..
The back descends when the air from the suspension bleeds away.
Rather than leap in and replace airbags etc..can you advise..for a moderately handy home mechanic..the best way to determine the source of the leak and a solution please?
Thanks in anticipation for all information clearly outlined & offered.

this thread is brilliant
thread title - "introduce yourself! -> where do you live?"
typical post - "I have just bought a disco and it has 4 wheels and I want to know if i can get rid of the doggy smell and does anyone know where i can buy some cheap seats"

Thanks, I've got my location logged now in my About Me section, which for ease is Hitchin in Herts.
