I cant imagine that winch has the pulling capacity for a land rover it looks a bit small and underpowered.

You were spot on, the lamp at somepoint in its life had got water into it and had seized the switch. central locking is for another day :)

I recently brought another disco 1 300tdi and im having a few electrical issues. Firstly none of the interior lights worked which i found was the fuse had been removed. After I put a new fuse in the lights now work but the rear dome light wont turn off. The front one works fine...

Its only a cover plate. Its there to stop gravel and stones going into the flywheel. Just put the two bolts back in.

whats happened is when you have removed it. The toothed part that moves with the button has been pulled all the way up and flipped over. Remove the cable pin so you can lift the handbrake vertically and then flip it back with a screwdriver and lower the handbrake back down. Sorry if that...

None of the other details apart from the vin number are needed for the Mot. I have taken cars land rovers etc that have been off of the road for 15 years plus and all they do is look at the vin number and type it into their system. I dont know why he's pestering you for other details as its no...

you dont need a v5 for an mot. They just put the chassis number off of the vin plate into the computer. Your Mot tester has it wrong

Im going to agree with Ratty. Everybody has there own way of dealing with it. I prefer to speedup as it works for me. Other prefer to slow down as it works for them

Its not too bad. My superwinch was the same until i cleaned everything up and then it worked fine

Do you think you have been to lots of accidents because they keep slowing down :D If you speed up it pulls the trailer straight so it cancels the snake. Slowing down causes it to put more pressure pushing against the back of the tow vehicle making it more likely to push the back to one...

Oh and speeding up if you have a snake instead of slowing down is correct.

Just want to add my two cents. I use my discovery and previously my series 3's constantly to tow. Ive had other land rovers and 4x4's and once a super heavy mercedes s-class on a trailer behind mine and they tow no problem. Ive also towed a couple of sankey trailers connected together with...

I have an Sip 1 ton crane. It easily lifts high enough but personally i wouldnt go with them again. Its the same as the sealy crane pretty much so i would avoid that as well. The quality of the product just isnt the same as a more expensive brand

:( fail

Finally changed the clutch. The clutch i removed was an HD Borg&Beck and it had split across the metal plate releasing 2 of the springs:confused: Anyway i replaced it with a full Valeo HD clutch kit with a defender 130 clutch plate, welded clutch fork and ap Lockeed slave and master, and...

oooo another winch. The pictures should be pretty good hopefully

The best way you can value your car is look what similar cars are SELLING for on ebay. i think you are pushing 2500 for it to be honest. Vauxhalls are terrible for depreciation.

i totally agree, 110 woman get your ass and cake over there and lend a hand

No, but i did think about inverting it when i do my conversion, and have the turbo sticking up through the bonnet to anger purists and making my own down pipe :)

Cheers for the parts
