    What is this part called?

    With most things Land Rover usually not as simple as it should be. I had to use pop rivets and a bit of steel with mine on the passenger side. Drivers side. Passenger side. Passenger side - what remained

    Our Disco has now gone. Thanks for all the help.

    Facebook sales page. Good place to advertise although as always you get some jokers.

    She has a Kia Picanto. Hopefully a bit cheaper to run.

    Our Disco has now gone. Thanks for all the help.

    Advertised our disco yesterday. We had twelve people asking to see it. The second person who came bought it for £1900. It was my wife's car and she has had it since 2007. There were a few tears in her eyes when it went. It would have gone some years before without help from members on this...

    V5 and selling a car.

    Thanks. He has been and collected it now. I remember when we bought it back in 2007, we part exchanged another car for it. A few weeks later we got speeding notifications in the post. Notified Swansea we no longer had the car and they were fine. I can't remember selling a car before privately.

    V5 and selling a car.

    We have a buyer coming to collect the car shortly. Would you give them both parts of V5 or keep the larger piece after they have filled it in and send it off yourself?

    Disco 2 New Battery

    Really good company. I work about half a mile from them. I took a car there a few months ago for them to test the battery. They told me the battery and the alternator were fine and were happy to test for free. I asked how many batteries they sold and was told around 4,000 per week. Some...

    Aux belt fraying

    All you can do is remove the pulley and the pas pump and reseat it carefully. Hard to see how it could be installed wrong. There are plenty of bolts to secure it.

    Disco 2 3 Amigos and slight brake squeal.

    It was a shuttle valve fault on mine but it didn't cause lights to stay on permanently. Sometimes they stayed on and sometimes they didn't. I had a lynx diagnostic at the time which told me it was a shuttle valve switch fault. Have never had any trouble after the mod.

    Disco 2 3 Amigos and slight brake squeal.

    The shuttle valve mod won't help if the fault is at the wheel sensor, just as doing anything with the wheel sensor won't help if the fault is shuttle valve related. That is why I said that a diagnostic unit can identify where the fault is. With mine it was the shuttle valve and I have had no...

    Disco 2 3 Amigos and slight brake squeal.

    They should reset themselves but if not try disconnecting the battery for a while. It is worth getting a check with a diagnostic unit to check whether the problem is at the wheel sensor or shuttle valve fault.

    Disco 2 She needs a chunk of weldage!

    The tedious part about taking the tank out is removing the plastic side panels in the boot to remove carpet to get to the fuel pump connectors. Some just slice the carpet.

    Disco 2 She needs a chunk of weldage!

    A local garage gave me a quote of five hundred to weld mine, but I don't think they fancied the job. They are mechanics not welders. The mobile welder does nothing but welding. He doesn't remove fuel tanks etc. But he is good at what he does - welding. I am not saying mechanics can't weld but it...

    Disco 2 She needs a chunk of weldage!

    I took the towbar and fuel tank off mine and got a mobile auto welder to come to it. After a lot of hammering and wire brushing he welded up what needed doing and charged £60. A really professional job as well.

    Disco 2 Seat runners PT2.

    With greasing it should stay adjustable. In my daughters little hatchback I replaced the wire cable with a mountain bike brake cable that I had in the garage.
