Hi all There’s alsorts going wrong with disco at the moment, todays issue is that I noticed it wasn’t rite upto temperature (just below half) in the time it usually would be and the blowers not as hot as usual either so ruled out the sender/gauge. It warms up as normal to a certain point then...

OK so... changed nsr actuator and master in drivers door and checked/lubed all mechanisms still no different. Basically it starts off not working if not been used for a couple of hours and after about 10 lock/unlocks it gets faster and faster till it works fine again Does anyone know where the...

Anyone any more info here, I’m hoping to do it tomorrow Cheers Towsey

Here we go again... I’m now also needing to do this, so with metal work removed etc and dash pulled back are the heather controls in the way or does the matrix miss all that lot Cheers Towsey

Bingo!

Hopefully we’ll get a winter this year, I know a lot of people like it hot but I’m a shade bather so it can snow for me!

I see where your coming from but I think time will tell, I came across a video not long ago (obviously) of one trying to do a sort of rock crawl on different tyres aswell and it didn’t find it as easy as I hoped it would

:(

Great project and good to see she’s been earning her keep on your shoot! Keep up the good work Towsey

Rite cheers Il fit it if it ever stops raining and hope for the best, if not that then...? The fronts are fine and osr ok most of the time, it might need a second go to unlock every now and again but not too bad and boot lock behaving at the mo, to be honest I’m more interested to find out what...

Thanks Battery not very old and alternator nearly brand new and all ok, and the more I use the locks the better they get not worse if ya get me, if not been used a while they play up for first few times. The only other spare actuator I have is a master so might try swapping that Will that mess...

So... Found a spare actuator today so fitted that and checked and oiled the rods and locks etc while the original was off, gets it back together and...still the same! It’s like the first few times I use it each day it’s not getting enough power or something then all of a sudden it’s fine...

So why is it, even with the door card off so pin is out aswell and all moving parts feel nice and free, the actuator sometimes moves really slowly? Dodgy wire or actuator? Just been for a play now and for the first few times it either didn't move at all or moved slowly then all of a sudden it...

Thank you for that, I’m waiting to get chance to have a look see if the A/C is going to add a problem Cheers Towsey

Thank you I think I've found it, was it Australian? I don't mind cutting and using straps etc. When it stops raining I need to go see wots happening under the dash I've just been and bypassed it, are the metal pipe ends I pulled the water pipes off an intermediate pipe then? Cheers Towsey

Cheers Yeah it’s just one thing after another at the moment it’s becoming quite tedious to be honest. I’ve seen some have long tails and some have flanges and was wondering why so different, so are the ones with the tails a mod to be able to fit them then? Do you know if the a/c will need...

Thanks for that, I haven’t had chance to look at it yet but gonna try find some pipe and bypass it today. Do we have any info on any makes been more reliable than others? I’m getting tired of all these problems at the mo to be honest Cheers Towsey

Hi all As you may have guessed the matrix has gone now, I’ve heard and seen about not needing to take the dash out to do this on my 98MY d1 but it has aircon aswell so is it the same to do or will that need recovering and pulling apart aswell??? Glad of any advice in the endless battle of Land...

Well I’ve told mine to go and stand in the naughty corner because on top of lacking in rear brake effort and steering wander and pas pump problems I’ve just noticed today the heater matrix is urinating all over the tunnel! If I had a workshop to do it I think I’d just rebuild her

I absolutely love watching these projects come along, it just makes me want to go and take mine apart...more than the usual that is Keep up the good work
