Good guess, in fact the front doors are the same on a 3 door and 5 door Disco, as is the rear end door.

Can you lend me a tenner? (Its worth a try).

Someone doesn't know how shocks are fitted to Defenders!!!! The shocks and/or bushes aren't right, if they don't show any thread and can't be fitted like this. My Terrafirma ones were the opposite - too much thread, so they would contact the axle at the front. I spotted a thread on it on here...

You seen the price???? And its only for the rear, too. Never seen a front one for D1.

Yep, as I posted before really, that's a US standard 2" receiver hitch. You can buy the front mount (and rear), but you'd have to import it from USA. And, I don't think the states ever got a Disco 1 so you'd need to adapt/make your own for one of them. Its 2" internal size on the square, but I...

I'd send them an email to clarify. Its hard to tell but I think they mean a US standard receiver hitch, which is certainly NOT standard on the front, or on most European cars.

Exactly. After the turbo, and the rest of the exhaust system, then a normal fully-working cat is not a restriction, so it doesn't affect performance (either fuel economy or power). Maybe there's a lot of Discos out there with blocked up cats which can cause a restriction. Mine wasn't, and it...

It probably has a "flood clear" mode, which is to put your foot fully on the throttle and turn it over, if it ever happens again.

99% sure its flooding which caused the non-start. Did you take a note of where the timing was originally, and once you'd adjusted it several times to a position it ran in, was it back in the same position? I don't know the details of your V8 but most fuel injection systems squirt a little...

If the head gasket's gone, you can replace the head gasket, you don't need to replace the whole engine???? Or is there more to it than just the head gasket?

No, its not a big job. Have you looked underneath at how its secured? Do you have basic tools etc? The only issue might be stuck bolts, or corroded ones, etc. Get underneath your car and look at it.

Isn't it a bit late to check if its dodgy or not? Did you check it out before you bought it? Does it have a valid VIN number which matches the V5 and corresponds to the registration plate, year of the vehicle, etc etc?

I had a rear wheel bearing go and it broke up quite badly. One of the rollers must have 'caught' and punched a hole into the stub axle, which jammed the driveshaft in. So, a slightly different location to go funny than yours. I eventually got the driveshaft out using a slide hammer, and I needed...

It only increases MPG if the old cat was collapsed/blocked.

I think you've removed the wrong relay. Sounds like a sticky starter solenoid.

Yeah, as above, you can appeal an MoT pass, but there's a few things you must do. One of them is to stop using the car and not make any further repairs to it.

Who cancels their insurance or doesn't get it, while the car is parked up taxed? If you keep a car off road, you SORN it and don't need insurance. If you use it on the road, even occasionally, you need insurance and tax. Having tax but no insurance is an irrelevant anomoly.

The dog had bees crapping? How did you train your dog to influence the behaviour of insects?

It only applies to vehicles over 3.5t GVW, so unless your Transit is an unusally big/heavy one, it doesn't matter to you.

Mine doesnt have them either. 1996 300TDI basic model.
