Pity there's no off-road course this year. We had a right hoot last year.

I just thought I'd let you all know about this brilliant bit if kit I bought and used today. Whilst changing the rear caliper on Wor lass's Volvo XC90, I was braying the bejeesus out of two 14 mil bolts on the caliper mounting assembly that were threadlocked. One came off, and I rounded the...

Now then NorthernGit, Welcome to the forum. You've got some right kit, haven't you ?! There are several seats on FleaBay, but they're bloody expensive (for us tight bloody tykes).

Now then, Freakylander. Welcome to the forum. I spent my first day driving a 1.8 Freelander today, after my mate borrowed my Disco. It isn't half bad. But in the three weeks he has had it he has broken a prop shaft, just by scooting round the fields. He has also been warned by...

I could pick it up tomorrow lunchtime, and bring it up to York, but I don't know if this helps.

York to Golders Green, London, tomorrow. Stopping at all stations near the A1(M). Only me and the 300tdi, with seats down, so as John Inman says, "I'm free...."

Legendary ! I have pulled nine people out in the last cold snap, but we haven't had any new stuff yet. Strangely enough, I've not managed to pull anything out as big as that...

Cheers for the advice as well, Sean. I'm going to chance it, rather than be seen in her motor.

Hehehehe ! That made me laugh.

It's worse than an auto panda - it's an XC90 !

I snapped the 8mm bolt attaching the engine breather filter box to the engine block, when I was changing the glow plugs (like the ham-fisted tw@t that I am). I've pushed the filter box back into the hole, but not bolted it back in. What's the danger of driving it down to the motor factor's...

Oops ! Sorry Polsta. Just read the full text of your post. Ignore my last post - I am a tw@t, with ****ferbrains. Sorry !

I got an elasticated one from Halfords, before I had a Landy, to tow my old Mk II Jag whenever it broke down. I've used it to pull out nine or ten people in the last few weeks. I also used it to get towed out in my Disco on the back of a Mitsubishi L200 last Wednesday, when I got stuck in...

Cheers for that Andy, I went onto e-bay, and found a set for a three door, but also found why they are not recommended for the XS. Apparently the rubbing strip trim is slightly wider than on other 3-doors, and the chequer plates will have to be trimmed slightly to fit. I figure a set of...

Any ideas where I can get a chequer plate kit for my 3 door 98 300TDi XS ? The bottom of the doors are beginning to go, and the panel in front of both rear wheel arches has recently crumbled after a good jet wash. I reckon it's cheaper to cover with chequer plate, after trying to treat the...

Now then Cirrus, I have just bought a R plate 3 door XS. It has the double sun-roofs (manual not electric), half leather with logo material, and only has electric windows, with no air con. Oh, it also had the factory extra of the scent of dogs and shot game-birds. It's my first Landy...

Lovely rig, especially for the money. Please show us a picture of it with the spots on, and the repair ! I'm about to get a two owner R-reg, with 70,000 miles on it, for £1800. I am planning on just using it as a shooting bus, so any tips and info you might have would be gratefully received.

Can anybody recommend someone to convert a 110 3.5 v8 from a manual to an automatic ? I am in God's own country (Yorkshire), but I have had my jabs, I do have a passport, and I am willing to go out of the county if absolutely necessary. Unusually, for a professional Yorkshireman, I do not...
