    Flat towing a discovery 1.

    Yes the previous posts are correct I am an rac patrol and discos are to over weight to be towed. However as far as I'm aware there is no risk of damage towing with both boxes in neutral just the weight issue.

    Hello from Dudley

    I don't think they have made a landy yet that's not accessible by chop stick. Iv only got a v8 disco but I'm still worried about it vanishing one night.

    Hello from Dudley

    Sad day for the classic :(

    I think it's beyond repair the whole sill inner and outer has just crumbled once I started. And it's similar the other side. I'm gonna throw in the towel. If I put many more plates or repairs on it will weight about 5 tonne.

    Sad day for the classic :(

    intermittant starting problem

    Iv found a fault in the past due to a sticking low pressure diesel pump(pre supply pump) . Depending on the age I think it's under the nsr wheel arch. next time it doesn't start it might be worth either locating the pump and giving it a knock, u should be able to hear the pump running when u put...

    Getting frustrated now!!!

    The only thing I can think of is something iv come across in the past. Not on a lr though is a loose or knackered knock sensor. That was retarding the timing at certain times. Bit of a log shot but might be worth a look. Hope u get to the bottom of it.
