That's nice dear! I suspect you've lost the little plastic gear stick jobbie inside the gearbox. Take the boot off and remove the stick and you'll hopefully see what I'm on about. I can't find a picture right now though but the gear stick fits into it. Common for it to wear and give you grief...

I thought overall it was a disappointment. Jumble was very poor and the exhibits were average with the exception of a couple of things to see (like the vehicle callisr was on about). I think I went a few years ago and it was much bigger with a lot more to see so it was a shame this was so small...

First world problems....

I've just had to replace all the ones on mine. I had to do the rear crossmember at the same time so I just removed the rear tub, turned it upside down and did it that way. I picked mine up second hand from Newbury 4x4 spares day last year. And it's on again this weekend...

With regards to the fan and cooling, there are a lot of people who say you can happily run the engine without one. I suppose a lot depends on engine condition, pipe condition and more importantly radiator condition but unless you are running with the fan shroud I would say that your fan is too...

I always thought the lack of wing vents was on a V8 only. you live an learn... But, the older 90's and 110's had an air filter at the front of the engine, sat upright on a tripod type of thing on the front crossmember on the chassis. I had to get rid of mine when I did my conversion as I was...

No, not specifically. I've ordered bits and specifically asked for anything but Sh*tpart and then a blue box arrives. It's better than it has been but I still stick by what I said.

I'm not talking about their 'G' stuff, or whatever it is and I don't think people are generally complaining about their 'G' parts. It's the £3 UJ, their £5 wheel bearing, their £40 cylinder head etc bought by the consumer who thinks they're getting a bargain as parts are so cheap for Land...

I feel your pain but I'm afraid that I have no sympathy. There are enough comments and instances of people complaining about Sh*tpart stuff that perhaps you should have thought about not buying their stuff? It's all very well sending it back and making a fuss but getting a refund but when 90% of...

I've got some brand new ones listed on eBay, but they're not cheap I'm afraid. They are like rocking horse doodoo nowadays, hence the price. I'd knock a bit off though as we're fellow forum members and I might have a couple of second hand ones somewhere but I'll have to dig them out tomorrow. PM...

Do you have any pictures?

PM sent

Hi there. What sort of money are you looking for on your Discovery?

Holy thread hijack Batman! Seriously though, that does look like a head gasket but if could be so many other things. If you have a Freelander then I don't know a great deal about them but as your name is DeadlyDisco then you might have a Discovery and it might be the oil cooler leaking into the...

I bought this as a project a few months back and I'm just not going to have the time to even start it, let alone finish it. It's an L reg 300 series V8 Discovery ES with 4 LPG tanks and a smaller petrol tank. It's a little rough and will (of course) need welding for an MOT. Interior is a little...

I'd say what you've got there is only the tip of the iceberg. I don't mind having a look to see if it's something I'd want to take on. If you PM me perhaps we could discuss?

How much and where are you?

I'm not a garage but I might be able to weld it up? I'm based about 7 miles west of Oxford. Do you have any pictures of the affected areas?

Allmakes are in Milton Park (halfway between Abingdon and Didcot) and FrogsIsland4x4 are also there. There's James French in Standlake too, so there's plenty of places around. I tend to use James French if possible as they seem a lot more helpful

Hi all Is anyone breaking a 300 series Discovery in the Oxfordshire area? I've got an early ES and I'm in need of a few bits. Namely drivers seat (dark grey leather if possible), in tank fuel pump (it's a V8) and I'm sure there will be a few other odds and sods too. Let me know what you've got.
