That is the first place I would have looked - it was on the tip of my tounge as I scrolled down to the end of this thread.

I've had 2 orders with Paddocks. I've not had a problem with them yet. I will probably use Mail Order 4x4 as well. They're part of Bearmach who do have a good reputation.

Worst case scenario you may have to google cable manufacturers to get one made. If you're still strugging contact a rigging specialist to see where they get their wire rigging made, that'l give you a starter for 10 Take your old one along so they can match it up. It will cost more but if...

What any decent forum needs is the answers to this question in one place...... Look in your PM folder ;) There you will find access to information in one place. Not complete but the idea is there. MW touches on a good point above Enough said.

They will probably want you to pay the courier charge to ship it back to you. I use Paddocks for small stuff, oil filters, discs etc. I probably won't use them for much else. We have a local refurbisher for steering racks etc. I wonder if he would restore my steering box if I asked him...

That IIRC is correct. Which is one of the reasons I have a later 16p engined 03 D2

At 9K I would want it without the oil leak. I don't care if it's a Land Rover. Fact is that it can be repaired. I've got one on my 03 and I intend to get it fixed. Trouble is that it's the main crank case bearing so it's going to cost me £300 or thereabouts. If he's making that kind of...

Get it pressure tested. You can get the pressure test kits on e bay for about £60. I nearly bought one but someone did me a favour and pressure tested mine for me. These kits use the expansion tank to pressureise from and you simply take the pressure up to 1 bar and wait to see if it...

Warped rear discs, coupled with the fact that the rear brakes don't provide that much of the braking force. Hence you probably didn't notice a major drop in braking performance but you noticed the 'pulsing'. I had this with my shot front discs when I went over a cattle grid. I caught the 3...

Absolutely shocking!

Yup. That's your gearbox ECU throwing a wobbly. Mine does that from time to time. There are a few possible causes. Main battery on its way out or faulty selector position switch, or wiring to the same. If you can get it plugged into a Hawkeye then I would do that. That'll help. There...

Since you saved some cash, why not invest in a Hawkeye or Nanocom? This will be able to read fault codes for you. Now, I am not taking a cut but I did organise a group buy price on the Hawkeye. If you want details please PM me. Otherwise I won't say anymore on this on this thread.

One approach you could take is to look for a no frills D2. Mine is probably close to that. It's got no air suspension at the rear - coils all round. You can also find ones that don't have the ACE. Mine has and if I had a chance again I may have looked for one without. Mind you mine's only...

No, oil is new semi synthetic. Besides I know someone who works there. And yes I did watch them do it.

Buy yourself the two filters and take them along to your local Kuik Fit. They'll charge you £25 for the oil alone, and they will probably be happy to fit your filters. I did this recently. For £25 that is a lot of oil and they do it for you.:D

Most of what I would say has been covered already. Having said that I've got a D2 without the air suspension. Personally I'm please it's not got it. The lower spec TD5 discos have coils like mine. There are also coil conversion kits available to change from the air suspension to coils...

...make that 2 bats and 2 balls then, just in case you lose one in the snow :D

This is TD5 right? Donut, no that's not a term of endearment but another part. Only thought of it as mine needs replacing soon. It's the rubber coupling between the rear drive shaft and the back axle. Also, a box of seals etc would be useful. The important ones like axle seals etc. Not...

I wish you'd posted before you got the bits. I've got the jets and some tubing here! Two possibilities exist. Either your car is a late registered earlier one if that makes sense. I did see a white one on e bay recently, Or as you say it has had a paint job, the car has been repaired using...

I think he may mean that they may knock off 10% of the price :D The thing is that even though a cat c write off is written off a 2nd time. It's still a loss for the insured. It's like having your house gutted by fire, fixing it on the insurance then selling it on. Surely another insurer isn't...
