    D1 Windscreen Leaks...

    Thanks. So where does the water go when once it's got into that rubber channel above the windscreen? If it runs to the ends it seems to go into the pillar at the side of the windscreen and I don't see any obvious point where the water would come out. (I'm getting water coming down somewhere in...

    passenger window very loud bang

    Interesting thread. My D1's passenger window does something similar. Just as the glass nears the top, going up, there is a shattering bang, which sounds like the glass must break, and then it shuts. It's worse in hot weather than in cold. Does this sound like the same problem that could be...

    D1 Windscreen Leaks...

    Hi, I've spent this hot afternoon sealing up the rear sunroof on my disco with sealant. Changing the rubber seals, re-greasing and cleaning the drain pipes didn't work, I've had enough of it. Hardly ever open the thing so now its a fixed glass panel in the roof. Will wait and see if it still...

    North Wales antis...

    Anyone going to this event... BBC News - Off-roading 'threatening' north Wales wildlife and land ...to ensure the meeting has even a little balance? Article suggests it will just be the 'ban all off-road driving brigade' in attendance.

    Not mine but will be scrapped!

    With respect to the OP it looks as if that 'scrap' series III has a capstan winch on it... I've always fancied one of those.

    My first Land Rover - tow car!

    Does removal of the 'CAT' not now put you in breach of the MOT regulations? I thought they'd recently been changed so that if the car was fitted with one when built (and they can tell from reg / VIN ) that the 'CAT' had to be present for all subsequent MOTs? (Otherwise I would also have removed...

    Fuel freebie. help please

    I didn't know about that 2500l allowance - I thought it was just straight illegal to put veg oil in your tank unless you accounted to HMRC for the duty. Very interesting! I don't use anything like 2500l of fuel in a normal year... Big difference between £0.75 per litre and £1.35 per litre. I...

    Disco door locks

    I remember replacing that little spring in the passenger door being a wretched fiddly job. I've been trying to find a schematic on-line or in the Haynes manual which shows how the rods work to the lock, but have not come up with anything. In theory pulling either the wire rod connected to the...

    My first Land Rover - tow car!

    I've also got this wet passenger footwell problem and have yet to do a proper investigation (every time I look at the land rover it starts ****ing with rain). However, I've heard rumours that there is a large rubber grommet in the bulkhead where wiring comes through which tends to fail and let...

    who do you insure with?

    Get used to this. Why do land rovers have flat wings? No, it's not so that you can put your tool box on them. It's so that the insurers can bend you over them and shaft you. Also watch out for insurers dodging liability for the normal things that land rovers are used for, like driving off...

    CB Radio - Do you use it?

    I installed one about six months ago and have yet to use it. I generally turn it on when travelling but all you get is snippets of banal stupidity from drugged up teenagers and taxi drivers. 4x4 = 16

    Braemer Edition

    Odd. They did Argyll and Aviemore editions of the Discovery back in the late 80s. I suppose Braemer (seller means Braemar I assume) is just up the road. ??? But, on a freelander???
