Changing all the oil in diffs, boxes etc is the first thing to do with any disco as people tend to forget these and it cures lots of funny noises. The indicators not cancelling is usually the plastic ring around the binnacle has worn away, I remember looking once and struggling to find one...

One Scot? yep that sounds about right.

The year was wasted? or you were wasted?................ Ackshirley, forget it, I think I know the answer. :p

Welcome back Grumpy, where have you been hiding?

You're on the right forum for info and banter. Put your rhino skin coat on and give as good as you get and you'll be fine. Plenty of clubs and fellow landy owners round these parts if you fancy getting out and having a laugh.

:welcome2: from Wells.

Have a read http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f38/thinking-lifting-your-landy-read-first-66840.html It is about a Defender but it is applicable to a Disco aswell.

I'm doing a carb rebuild on my old scimitar and they don't make the original gaskets anymore, never needed to cut my own I've always used off the shelf stuff. So what's the best quality gasket material anyone has used?

It's a great series been watching for a while now. I agree they are surprisingly likeable for Merkins.

Thanks, that was exactly my point. I never had any major issues with any of my tdi or v8 engined landies as I like to think that I maintain them quite well and because of that I have relatively trouble free motoring.

ok so in the interests of balance as I've had both tdi and v8's and like them equally, have you read up on the MANY problems people have with tdi's? It turns out they are about as unreliable as a v8 on lpg In the end it's up to you. ;)

I know you can't fill them, that's why your figure of 330 miles to a tank confused me.

Can torroidal tanks be filled to more than 80% :confused:

Neither of mine ever got past half way on the temp gauge but they were both single point.

Oh when you do get one it doesn't cost much to get an lpg specialist to look over the system to make sure it's all correct and is definitely worth the piece of mind.

I've had 2 RRC's on lpg and loved both of them, not only for the v8 burble that you love but because of running costs being quite reasonable. If you need boot space make sure you get one with either a toroidal tank (spare wheel type), under slung tanks or both preferably so you have a decent...

Here ya go Not sure if you want to use this as a "How To" but it's something I get asked about a bit so I'll stick it in here for approval......... I keep getting asked Q's about this so I am gonna start this fred about how I use waste veg oil (wvo). This method takes no investment, uses no...
