    Where Is The Fuse Box On D2?

    My rear windscreen wiper doesn't work and I wanted to try and eliminate the little things before I take it in to be repaired properly in a garage so was wondering maybe if it's a fuse or something I can try it myself. Could some kind soul tell me where the fuse box is please? Also, where do I...

    will td5 run on bio mix?

    What's the situation with regards getting stopped by the police etc and having your tank dipped? Is it legal to use your own bio fuel? It would be worthshile me doing this as my parents run a busy restaurant and with mates in the game too i'd have a very good supply of used veg oil. Also at a...

    Squealing When I Start To Accelerate

    When I drive slowly to the bottom of my drive there is no squealing but as soon as I hit the bottom of the road and boot it from 1st to 3rd there is a squealing sound that sounds like it's coming from the bottom of the engine. It doesn't happen all the time, just when I need to accelerate fast...

    Veg Oil

    True that mate. My brother is Australian (born there in 66, my parents were part of the £10 poms brigade) and he's just moved back there 5 years ago for good. He only lived there as a baby and didn't know what it was like but him and his wife have taken the whole thing on, culture and all and...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Changed the interior bulbs to LED ones. The yellowish ones weren't cutting it.

    Some muppet is stuck

    Forgive my ignorance but what was that car that was stuck? It looked like it would struggle to negotiate an Asdas car park full of road cones let alone a monumental climb like the one it was facing. Just because it has the term 4x4 it doesn't actually mean it'll go anywhere (unless used in a...

    The Joys Of Land Rover Ownership

    I had a regular Rover years ago (the first of the 200 models that was square) and I broke down in Pontypridd outside a Halfords (well the key snapped in the lock). The manager there pulled the barrel out for me to 'hotwire' it to get it home to Abergavenny which I was very grateful for, the...

    The Joys Of Land Rover Ownership

    Apologies for the thieves comment, bad terminology but a couple of hundred is a little excessive. It doesn't matter anyway as it's being repaired on Monday. Failing that if Nick isn't 100% happy with it i'll gladly buy a new one wether it's a couple of hundred or not coz I love this Landy.

    The Joys Of Land Rover Ownership

    Thanks guys. It's in to have the passenger window regulator fitted on monday morning and Nick, the guy who does all my repairs is a big Landy bof and he's said he can fix it to save buying a new barrel. I had to call out Green Flag earlier (free with my insurance) and he did the cleaning and...

    The Joys Of Land Rover Ownership

    S*** I didn't think it would be a couple of hundred. Balls :( I don't want two keys so i'll have to go the LR route. Bloody thieves.

    The Joys Of Land Rover Ownership

    Mine is so straight and in good nic I have every intention of lavishing (the spare) cash on it to get it back to as new condition as possible. I love this vehicle and now understand why there are so many on the road. With regards the faults, my rear electric sunroof wasn't working anyway so...

    The Joys Of Land Rover Ownership

    Since I bought my first LR (an 02 Disco) at the beginning of December i've had two leaking sunroofs, a broken heated front seat (not much I know), a passenger window that won't close (needs new window regulator which is being done on monday) and a broken transfer box on my way back from...

    Leaking sunroof

    Just had leaking in both of my electric sunroofs. Took it to a local LR bod i've known for years and he blew out something on the front that was full of leaves and **** and sealed up the rear sunroof (that wasn't working anyway). £20 later it's happy days and bone dry. I'll have to get that rear...
