    Genuine Land Rover Driving lights - how to open them?

    Thank you for that helpful advice. I origionally thought they were holes for rusted blind rivets and ignored them, but on closer look they were rusty screws after all. I manged to get the rusty screws out. I had hoped I could open up the reflector and clean the inside of the glass/plastic (as...

    Remote central locking?????

    Hello, I am in Australia. I have a 1995 TDI Disco Auto. It was made in 1995 (name plate) but the rego says it is a 1996. It has central locking, alarm and immoboliser (factory fitted). It has the 2 button remotes. One of the remotes does not work any more (intermittant). I have tried...

    Auto box oil & filter change.

    Hello, I just changed my transmission filter after 273,000km. The pan screws all came off easily except the rear one. I had to loosen off (and almost completely remove) the transmission mount to get to the bolt head. This added about 2 hours to the job (had to support the rear of the...

    Drive flange (on a landrover)

    Hello, Does anyone know, whether the paper gaskets are the same for the front drive flange and the rear flange cover for my 1995 TDi Disco auto ? I am planning to re-pack the wheel bearings (no problems with them but probably due at 273,000k). Also what is the very best grease ? Is it some...

    LandyZone Stickers

    Hello, Internal stickers are a great idea for longevity, but as they have to go on the glass, the size might be an issue, as they could obstruct sighting. I cannot think of a safe suitable spot on my Disco windows for such a large sticker as the rules here are quite strict particularly...

    Wheel hub bearings

    I realise I'm in the wrong forum, but thanks for that. I was worried that I should be repacking the bearings regularly to reduce wear or pre-mature failure (just as I should on my trailer bearings). On the front, there is a small amount of spline wear between the axle and drive flange, about...

    Hello, :) I have a 1995 Disco TDI Auto. I live in Sydney Australia. The vehicle is going well, and I plan to keep it for quite a few years more. Lots of minor hose and gasket weeps but no serious issues, but I am way overdue for some major servicing (I've been slack the past 150Mm) so the very...

    Wheel hub bearings

    :) I have a 1995 TDI Auto Disco, 274k. Its in great condition. I have checked for any detectable movement in hubs (none other than some backlash in the overall drive train). Can I get away with only repacking the bearings, or is it manditory to replace the bearings every so often?
