When did the auto box last have a filter AND fluid change? Chris

Ignition timing? When did you last check you plugs, leads, cap etc? Failing that it may be a vacuum leak somewhere in the intakes/plenum chamber area... Chris

Gota be honest, if it REALLY is a full service history then 157k on a 300Tdi should be peanuts!!! You'll want to check that all the necessary mods have been done, though if it's reached 157k and is still going it almost certainly will have had these. These engines, looked after correctly, are...

Just keep looking. I eventually picked up my 1992 200Tdi D90 with 1 previous owner, every single receipt (including the original purchase order!) and FSH, 38000 doccumented miles, winch, SD cage, full underbody plates and ARB bumper for just £5200, and that was 2 years ago!!! You'll find...

I fitted a folding plywood table into the rear bodywork of my hard top. It comes down to protude just past the wheel arches, has folding legs to support it when in the down position, folds out from the bulkhead to the back door, and folds away flush with the body panel when not in use. It...

Thats definately NOT the line I took!!! As for Wales, we'll be up there on Saturday afternoon (there being a cottage in Penryhndeudraeth, nr Porthmadog), then leave again Thursday. Have been looking at maps of the Porthmadog to Aberystwyth coast, and inland towards Bala and the Eastern side...

There is a very real possibility that Devon County Council will advertise the possible enforcement of a TRO on Hiller Lane (see SX8870-2a on the wayfinder site) in the very near future. As a local laner I'm very concerned about this and would like some help/advice. I have it on VERY good...

North American Spec. The Defenders that were sold in the States were refered to as NAS Defenders, and hence replacement parts for them are also refered to as being NAS. It is quite possible to build a NAS Defender from parts here in the UK, indeed you'll often come across NAS replicas for sale...

These two guys helped me to arrange an excellent laning holiday in the Lake District, where I drove some of the best lanes in the country! Outstanding holiday thanks to the help from these two landy enthusiasts. Thanks guys, Chris Jones. :D :D :D P.S. We didn't drive the access only 'lane'!

I am taking my Disco into the Snowdon area for a week, next week, and would like to take in a couple of drives whilst we are there. They need to be fairly gentle lanes as the Disco has an LPG conversion, of which the undersill tanks mean marginally reduced ground clearance (think side-steps)...

If its a diesel try the stop solenoid, they can get sticky and prevent the engine from cutting off. Chris

I'm no expert either, but it all sounds about right. I had mine converted at a garage and they did everything; installation, programming, tune-up, all for £1300. Read the adverts in as many mags as possible and you should get a very good idea of what a kit ought to include... Chris

Nice one Accy! Let me know how that France thing turns out... Chris

Hey Jimbo, Really depends on what kind of Disco? V8 or TDi? Base model or fully loaded? Full service history? After-market extras? Price sounds okay but you need to post some more info for any meaningful guestimates... Chris

Will be bringing the D90, the roof tent, and the missus up to the Lake District for the period of 31st July to 7th August. We are keen to get a few drives in and so I thought I'd find out if anyones going to be around during that time frame to meet up, talk shop, and take in some stunnning...

Sounds like your performance is quite considerably better than mine, though my Disco is 9yrs old now, with 110000 on the clock. I pay roughly £20 to fill up and get 150 miles max per tank (so far), and I think I'm going to have to consider getting another tank installed to increase the range...

Okay, having just accidentally found the outlet myself (I saw a large, rapidly forming puddle and thought I was in a spot of bother!!!) I think I can help. If you get under the vehicle and look up into the transmission tunnel, roughly in line with the fronts of your doors, on either side you'll...

Well thats what I thought, but I'm blowed if I can see any sign of them anywhere!!! The frustrating thing is that on my Defender they're right there, sticking out like four sore thumbs!!! I'd be really interested to hear from ANYONE else who has any solihul product that has swivel housings...

Sorry 'bout that. Hope its not too bad... ;-/

Gota be honest, I reckon you need to get it to a specialist and have it looked at. It sounds to me like some of your internals are unhappy. Unless you are lucky enough to have some serious facilities at your disposal then you ought to go to someone who has the equipment to get the box out. In...
