    Quirky things unique to your Landy..

    Yeah, the cam bearings was going to be the next thing to replace, but its a big job for a have a go hero who don't know much, like me.. Much easier to change the engine and sort the old engine at my leisure..

    Quirky things unique to your Landy..

    Its been llike it since I have had it. I got loads of advice from peeps on here about it after starting a fred. I changed the main n crank bearings as well as replacing the oil pump spring, but I still got low oil pressure, so its become a quirk for me.. I have to sit at the traffic lights...

    Haha, some good ones there.. Got to love em eh.. I had forgotten about the gearbox on mine. All the gears will select, but its easy to find the wrong gear. First n reverse are the worst. Much gear crunching when anyone other than me drives.. Keep them coming :0)

    Quirky things unique to your Landy..

    I bet most of us have things on our Landy's that don't work quite right, or has to be done in a different way to how it was designed, but its not really a problem and gives the car more character.. Not talking major issues here, just the little things.. My Disco has a few.. To get out of...

    Some pics of my Disco :D

    I have in my head that if the brakes fail n pumping them doesnt work n going down through the gears isnt going to stop you in time, the hand brake will help.. If i did that in a landy, i guess it would knacker the transmission.. I know that dont matter if you really have to stop, but i still...

    I didn't know about the x brake. Would that work better than a rear wheels hand brake conversion, do you know..?

    Discovery 200tdi rust

    someone has had a go at that before n painted the red oxide over it.. It doesnt look too bad. Mine was loads worse. If you got the time do it yourself. I would get all the bits done for the mot to start with. That rust by the seat belt will fail you.. Its all pretty easy stuff to do, it just...
