:confused: I have just sold my ultra reliable P reg TDi (low mileage) disco and bought a 2001 TD5 adventurer against all better judgement and advice (some from this site) .I love the car but i may have a problem with the ace and have been informed that if it is completly shot the 900 ish quid...

dont forget once a week slip it into low then difflock and back again and just drive a few feet or so . this will keeps things from getting stuck again

I have just aquired a pair of series 2 'oasis' side steps with no fixing brackets and was wondering if they would fit my 97 300 TDi, if so do i need the series 1 or 2 brackets ? or should I just sell them and buy a pair or series 1 steps ? :confused: thanks

Mine started vibrating under load and my local landy specialist told me my doughnut had gone. Apparently this is the solid rubber coupling that joins the rear propshaft to the diff, he reckons that this is a common fault around the 100k mark, other than that just look for a full service history...

1997 tdi disco ave about 30mpg, my missus has a 2.0 litre beelte and that cost the same to run as my disco and the tax is the same give or take a fiver, I think the new taxation only applies to cars newer than 2001 and please correct me if I am wrong will only really hurt the petrol 4x4's

thanks dob, I will have to get myself a manual for the future

thanks scotty, will check that out next weekend

Does anyone know what sort of weight I can put on the standard cross bars attatched to my roof rails ? can I attatch a roof box to them ?

My rear off side passenger door makes same noise, having been quoted sixty quid from a local specialist just for the bit, its a small plastic case with a rod for want of a better description sticking out of it, this hooks into the bottom part of the door lock (the bit you can see above trim) I...

I have seen a Discovery 300 tdi with the standard roof rails on, but then they were extended to the rear of the car. Are these a standard piece of kit from landrover or are they a specialist buy, has anyone else seen or heard of these?. I found a post from S368 VOP from about a year ago but he...

What happens when the inner wheel arches at the back doors start to go through, I take it its not structural but can it be repaired, mine are starting to go and along the bottom of the doors inside, can these be remedied easily with a view to the repair lasting, this is one of the reasons i am...

Thanks for replies, I may look at spending upto a grand on mine and take it somewhere and ask for a respray and treat all the corrosion marks see if i can get a proper job done, Although a have seen a '98' 300tdi es with only 60k on clock for 7 grand (sound reasonable?) in mint condition and i...

:confused: I currently am debating on what to buy next, I have a '97' discovery with 90k on clock, the problem is the bodywork is starting to go in several places and I want to get rid while it still looks good, Most of my miles are on the road, some of them are pulling a caravan (get your...
