    Drumclog PnP

    Hi, Anyone been here? I can't find any information about it online - like opening times, opening dates, prices, rules etc? Cheers, Alec.

    Laning in Scotland?

    I called the access officer for Dumfries & Galloway and he told me that there are no recognised green lanes in the region, and that you have to ask the land owner's permission before going anywhere... So - is this correct? And if so, where are the nearest certified green lanes to me which I am...

    Help! I broke my clutch!

    No Mr. Clutches in Scotland! I've got it sorted anyway. Bought the parts today for £68 and I have a mechanic who says he will fit them for under £200. Strange thing is - clutch was fine today... Absolute no problem - not slipping or sticking at all? What's going on?

    Help! I broke my clutch!

    Land Rover dealer only wants £1085 + VAT. Bargain!

    Help! I broke my clutch!

    Been quoted between £430 and £577 so far. Think I'd rather light a ****ing match..

    Help! I broke my clutch!

    Ok thanks guys. I wouldn't have the first clue where to start so I guess I'll call round the garages today. Alec.

    Help! I broke my clutch!

    Hey hey, You know the old adage "no good deed goes unpunished?" A friend asked me to pull out some shrub bushes from his garden which had pretty deep roots. In retrospect I didn't go around it the right way - I got it so that the rope was tight between car and bush and then tried to pull away...

    Disco 1 Wiring issue - radio/interior lights

    SOLVED: Fuse 6 in Sat 1. Dunno how I missed it.

    Disco 1 Wiring issue - radio/interior lights

    Also... Not sure if it's relevant but the rear electric windows don't work either. They used to work from the rear switches but only intermittantly at the front, but now they don't work from either?

    Disco 1 Wiring issue - radio/interior lights

    The fuses under the steering wheel only go upto 18... Are there more elsewhere? It's on an M plate. (Checked fuses under bonnet too - all seem fine)

    Disco 1 Wiring issue - radio/interior lights

    Hey hey, Installed a new cd head unit in my disco one - everything was working perfectly until I decided to take it back out to improve the fitment. When I plugged all of the leads back in and mounted it in the dash to turn it on, it only flickered on and off a little bit. Testing all of the...

    Veggie Oil Thread #687585

    Yeah - pleased so far with the veggie oil experiment. Getting more and more bold with it too - probably got more oil than diesel in it now! Seems to run fine - takes a little longer to start up on an early morning but otherwise totally fine. If the price of diesel keeps dropping, and the tesco...

    First Day Out

    Oh, and couldn't find the camera before I left so didn't take any pictures - but a guy from the club was taking pictures so when he puts them up I'll post a link :)

    First Day Out

    Thanks for the diff lock advice guys. I finally managed to manoeuvre myself into such a position that I could see where the linkage underneath was (not) moving, drenched it in WD40 and left it over night. Not holding out much hope, I tried shifting it into diff lock in the morning and nothing...

    First Day Out

    I had someone wiggling the transfer box stick whilst I was underneath and I couldn't see anything moving underneath. I could here it clunking between high and low, but couldn't see any movement - and obviously no clunking or movement whilst she was trying to put it in diff lock. Do I have to...

    Veggie Oil Thread #687585

    Umm, I think I managed about 22-23MPG on the jag. Fuel has gone up a bit in price since then so maybe it just feels worse than it is. The jag also purred like a, well, Jaguar, and went like buggery so I didn't feel so ripped off paying big bucks to run it! Put £40 in the other day (from pretty...

    First Day Out

    Umm, tow bar from the back and **** knows from the front! Hopefully won't get stuck in that direction! :D Well, I only asked him to have a look whilst he was fixing the hub bearing and the brakes - I can take it back to him for him to fix it in the future but I don't really have the cash just...

    Veggie Oil Thread #687585

    Sounds easy enough - think I already spotted the fuel filter when I was having a poke about the other day. I probably should get a Haynes - always seem pricy to me though..

    First Day Out

    When it was in the garage for the other bits I asked the mechanic (who is a bit of a landy specialist, apparently) to have a look at the diff lock. He said he tried greasing it up, and that he could engage diff lock from underneath, but that the lever was seized somewhere. Is this likely to...

    Veggie Oil Thread #687585

    Thanks for all of the help guys - I think I'll get a few bottles and try it out today. The car has been a bit more thirsty than I thought it would be (it's not significantly better on fuel than my 4.0 V8 Jag was!). I'll wait to change the filter/sedimenter after a couple of months then - is...
