    YRM Metal solutions - from an EXTREMELY ticked-off punter

    'screw up'? Four different 'screw-ups' for one customer (1. take order and acknowledge receipt of money without checking stock levels; 2. failure to keep customer informed once they realise they don't have the stock; 3. ignore telephone chase-up; 4. off-hand pseudo-apology with no reference to...

    YRM Metal solutions - from an EXTREMELY ticked-off punter

    I need a set of inner wings for my D1. After reviewing comments made in this forum, I sent off a payment of £280+ - to YRM on the 4th of this month. They acknowledged payment on the 5th, and today - a week later - I telephoned AND emailed them to ask about progress. They sent me an email...

    D1 300tdi auto airbag module

    1998 UK-spec D1 up on a ramp for some serious pre-CT (ie French MOT) checkover. My man discovered that the airbag module was u/s, so I bought a secondhand warranted one from Avenger 4x4 (very quick service, by the way). Although they advertised this as being for a < DISCOVERY TD5 RANGE ROVER...

    Welcome to the refurbished LandyZone

    The revamp seems to have lost one useful feature; if one hovered over the title of the root message in a thread, a dialogue box appeared with enough text to give one an idea of the topic or enquiry involved. This seems to have disappeared or is inactive. Any chance of having it back please?

    Mach One wheels and offset

    Hi, I have a 1998 300tdi which I'm fettling bit by bit. 40mm lift using TF and Procomp parts. I have a set of Mach One steels to replace the Boosts, and whilst I'm happy to do a rear-arch 'Camel Cut', shaving the rear doors will result in a whole world of pain for me ( it's Madam's car, after...

    Terrafirma Detachable hitch

    Discool - yes, and no. The problem, as I have discovered, is that Terrafirma in their infinite wisdom use the same publicity shot (of the 923) for both the 923 and the 924. They sent me a 924, but as per my original post, it's not an easy fix on. PTK - I wish I'd seen that before I bought the...

    Terrafirma Detachable hitch

    I have bought a Terrafirma detachable tow hitch/tank guard for my D1 and my garage man ended up most confused. It IS deffo the right one, but it needs drilling through for attaching to the forward towbar stay attachment points, and Terrafirma themselves advised that the chassis be drilled and...

    Removing the body

    Disco 1: Scrapping a 300tdi Auto with no need to be 'gentle'. The engine is already out, the front body mounts have been cut through, I'm working my way backwards. I want to do this is as little time as possible, using the usual precision Land Rover tools (angle grinder, crowbar, and hammer. BIG...

    Hoorah ! - she passed her CT

    @dyte; I think it's actually very like the UK MOT - it depends on the individual tester. I have a /good/ friend who is a CT tester, and he's as hard as nails on rust where it really shouldn't be rusty, but just tells me about 'this bit' or 'that bit' if it isn't structural. OTOH, I took an old...

    Hoorah ! - she passed her CT

    FList = File List, it maybe called an 'Upload Area', it's usually moderated (for obvious reasons)

    Hoorah ! - she passed her CT

    Yep will do. They are MS Word format; would it also be an idea to upload them to a FList if there is one on LZ?

    Hoorah ! - she passed her CT

    Sorry, Dave, I have only the blanks in english from Solihull. Sadly, its a bit far to the Limousin for a bit of laning.

    Modified H/D rear bumper

    Hi y'all Messing about with ideas for the rebuild. Will be putting on H/D bumpers but has anyone made or got a rear non-tubular H/D bumper without the endcaps? Every single non-tubular H/D bumper I've seen seems to have copied them into their design, but I wonder if they are really necessary...

    Thanks, Philip, it's a good tip but I won't be carrying the standard jack.

    Safari Snorkel + 300Tdi + ABS + 2nd battery

    'Morning all. This is mainly to confirm my understanding in what is involved in fitting both a second battery in place of the jack and a Safari snorkel to a 300tdi D1 with ABS. I have googled for photos of this combination with no success. The 300tdi airbox is where the 2nd battery will go, so...
