    Disco 1 Welcome to the joys of owning a Landrover!

    Hey guys. Will get another pic later, but the hole is at the very top of the diff. Not sure if it is a new problem or not. First time I noticed it was yesterday so thinking it's a recent issue but, looking at the road where I park there is a few stains on the road so may have been going on...

    I don't Vin no. Would a problem with these caused the hole? Also the drivers window now won't close :( can see motors running but it isn't pushing the glass up! Think it may have slipped off :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Disco 1 Welcome to the joys of owning a Landrover!

    Had my Disco 1 approx 8 months, 7 and 1/2 of them months it has been SORN. Of the 2-3 weeks I've been driving it I have already had 3 problems of note. 1. It wouldn't start....at all.

    Disco 2 Advantages of LPG

    I got a quoted £1000 a few months ago. That was for a 3.9 v8i petrol engine to LPG. Still considering doing it to save fuel money.

    Disco 1 Battery woes

    Well she's fixed! Turns out it wasn't the alternator but just a dodgy earth wire. Got a new one put on and been great so far :D First proper drive will be tomorrow or Saturday then look for some off road opportunities with her :D Love Land Rovers!!!

    Disco 1 Battery woes

    My mechanic mate has had a look and reckons I need a new alternator. Any idea on prices?

    Disco 1 Battery woes
