    Disco 2 Three amigos

    Don't wanna hijack this thread, but I don't wanna keep posting about these bloody lights!! I had an extremely bad wheel bearing that i've now replaced, and plugged in the abs sensor, and it came up with " 4064 - Sensor right hand front (sensor DC failure, broken wire, sensor impedance too...

    Wammers knows his stuff on the %, Mine is indeed out by 8.9% with my Dynopro M/T's just take it easy around speed cams and averages, go the same speed as others and you can't be much wrong there! ;)

    Not the usual 3 Amigos question

    Mine are on at the moment, Turns out the driver inner wheel bearing was DEAD (like seriously dead) and the ABS sensor literally exploded out the pocket hence flagging the 3 lights. turns out it caused the axle oil seal to leak as well and goodbye all my axle oil!! fixed the issue now, and I...

    Depends which section you want to post to? some like the sale / wanted have a +50 post requirement. if it's not one of them like the Discovery forum, under the 2 white bars to the right there should be a 'post new thread' button that's green like here: http://i68.tinypic.com/149w76a.jpg

    2007 rm250 motocross bike.

    Shin snapper if that kicked back on ya! they were definitely a widow maker, I'd love to see what their 700cc 2 stroke is like just way to hard to find one, it just looks like too much to fully open.... anywhere! The Honda 94' CR500 was on par with the Maico though IMO

    Modifying P38

    backing this, I had a BMW 530D M sport with 20" rims and low profile tyres, normal suspension associated with it, my friend has a 530D normal, with 17" and much bigger tyes and the comfort difference is phenomenal, if you're thinking of comfort go for smaller rims bigger tyres, they are the...

    TD5 Auto box issues

    Posting this one on behalf of a friend that's not too clued up on mechanical stuff. He has a TD5 Auto, he has lost all drive completely, Engine still turns over fine though. I found a post from James Marten, about it and he said about a clutch pack A may be gone if it's not got forward drive...

    Lake District recommended?

    Shame I went last week! The wind was horrendous and by time I got back from the Grizedale forest lane (YOU NEED TO DO THAT ONE!) the wind got so bad it snapped 2 poles in the tent and smashed a plastic bracket = weekend over, roll it up and get it in the boot. Tbh Total off road January 2014...

    So now I have the whole set

    What engine is in it? 27mpg sounds pretty nice for something of this caliber. also how much did it cost out of curiousity

    defender td5 centrifugal oil filter housing bolts

    Same on the Disco's, I stripped one side and literally put a longer bolt through and nutted it, pain in the backside reaching over the bonnet to do it though!

    Confusion over cover

    Anyone older than me! :rolleyes::rolleyes: haha, generally the people in their late 60 early 70's are the worst, indecisive at junctions and when they do go, they're softly stroking that clutch like it could break at any minute

    Confusion over cover

    Tbh, I would look into Adrian Flux. I did all the market searches for my D2 with all the off road mods and they came out at about £1200, where as the market searches were all about 17-1900, so a chunk saved. Just annoys me that my age is a factor in prices of insurance regardless of old men and...

    Do the extras and tyres make that difference to fuel?

    Someone said what I didn't wanna say, sometimes people take it the wrong way and just think you're being arsey in a message :p But 600 Miles in a stock TD5 sounds like doing 55 on a motorway everywhere, Whilst I say I'm not doing 80MPH everywhere, I do tend to sit at TRUE 65-70 (since realising...

    Do the extras and tyres make that difference to fuel?

    Just had my brain thinking the other day (which tends to be a bad thing most the time), if my tyres are 8.9% bigger, my odometer is 8.9% under? meaning I would need to times my mpg by 8.9% to get the 'true' mpg? at that I would be averaging about 23.3MPG? :eek::p

    Do the extras and tyres make that difference to fuel?

    I'm not complaining in the slightest, I'm more than happy with whatever I get out of it... I love the bugger even though I slap it with a hammer on the weekends. Don't tempt me, with all my goodies I would probably get about 12 to the gallon!
