    300 tdi power chip

    Get rid of the cheap chip. And fettle with the injector pump instead. Cheaper and gives a better boost in performance all over rev range if you do it properly.

    Disco 1 rear roller door

    Is a roller door possible on the back of a disco? Looking at it it's probably possible. But would require a fair bit of getting. Would look smart methinks.

    R380 stiff when warm

    Don't know what's going on here, when cold my gearbox is smooth and shifts fine. When warm the gear stick is like stirring thick treacle. It will still change gear but has resistance to moving around. Oil was changed about 1500 miles ago. Only had this problem come round in the last couple days.

    Quick battery Question

    Need a new battery in my D1 300tdi. Is there a benefit to getting a high Ah battery? Even though the alternator is standard 70, does this mean it will only ever charge to alternator capacity and not battery capacity?

    OS getamap site for finding lanes?

    Is it possible? it has the solid green dots on lanes which are BOATS i think? cant find a legend on the site, it seems like its the same layout as the orange OS maps. using it purely because it saves me time buying the maps and browsing a pile of them and finding nothing and wasting money. im...

    Which Sat Nav....

    Tomtom have those beanbag mounts too. But after using navigon, garmin and tomtom. I pick tomtom every time. Much simpler and user friendly. I have an adhesive disc on my dash and its much better than sticking to the windscreen.
