    Everyone seems to be going mad for Hue numberplates... I don't think I really get it... it just happens to be the numberplate of one of the first... that the 2016 ones are nothing like!

    Disco 1 Steering box adjustment - allen key and locknut seized together?

    Thanks, yeah i'd read up on it and was aware that there is likely to be more wear straight ahead so a slight notch. I'll get out there and try and loosen it off, will try some deep penetrating oils and hopefully get a little bit of play out. There is a slight movement on the input shaft so i'll...

    Okay - so it's basically brute force to adjust it then! Fair enough. I was definitely concerned about any implications of totally unscrewing them so I won't do that :)

    Disco 1 Steering box adjustment - allen key and locknut seized together?

    Hi guys Little bit of play in my steering on the 200tdi Disco 1. More than the recommended 2" of movement side to side before much happens but not loads more. Just noticed the wheel having to turn slightly further in each direction and a slight vagueness when set straight. I've read a guide...

    Disco 1 Flickering headlight - high beam/dipped beam.

    Yep i'll grab some standard lamps from euro car parts in the morning! Hopefully that stabilises things somewhat and then I can focus on sorting the dip-dim thing Cheers for you help :-)

    Disco 1 Flickering headlight - high beam/dipped beam.

    I'll have to have a good read up. From what I can tell, my Disco (1993 200tdi) does have dip-dim and the problem will be that it is sending my LED headlight conversions a very low voltage which may be causing the flashing... the chips probably don't know what to do constantly cycling on and off...

    Disco 1 Flickering headlight - high beam/dipped beam.

    What does that function do? I just have sidelights, dipped beam then main beam when I press the shaft back? Not sure if that includes dim-dip! Is it just as simple as pull out a connector block ? No I don't have rave...

    Disco 1 Flickering headlight - high beam/dipped beam.

    Okay ... So swapped out the stalk but this hasn't cured it. Sidelights actually seems to trigger intermittent dipped beam Dipped beam sometimes flashes high or off. High beam pretty much stays solid as high beam Anyone got any ideas? Everything else like Windows, wipers, heater etc works...

    Disco 1 Flickering headlight - high beam/dipped beam.

    I've just taken apart both stalks and there was dirt on all the contacts. I've just taken it all apart and soaked in switch cleaner, re assembled and all seems to be working now. Cross fingers no more strobing between hi/low... made worse by the LED replacement lamps in there.

    I noticed that Safari Engineering Eversley had a bunch of 101s in when I was down there last week. They certainly do vehicle breaking and have a lot of spares in stock for most things, especially ex-Mod vehicles, so maybe give them a call and see if they can help.

    I'd happily purchase that for £20 and collect from Dorking. It's half height, as in only covers top half of the boot yeah? As I have a custom boot box system in the back that a full height one would foul.
