Hi, Anyone been around Coniston in the Lakes last couple of days? I know the weather is due to hold sub-zero with no more real snow fall but just wandered what was left on the ground? Off on Family Holiday tomorrow and the household is spilt as to which vehicle, the "sensible" estate (fuel...

Being a bit cheeky as have just posted in the wanted section (http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f62/disco-drivers-300tdi-headlight-front-bumper-196473.html#post2099411) but wandered if anyone had sugestions as to the best way to straighten a Disco 1 front bumper? I made a slight missjudgement and...

Hi got my 300Tdi Disco (R reg) in a bit of a mess so: Bumper is bent (still can't work out how its become that shape). Drivers wing may be rescued with a bit of filler and paint but at the right price its not worth the hastle. Drivers Headlight is smashed. So any offers on those bits or any...

So - whats the thoughts on muffing the rad, I've seen it done but never seen sure it does any good or harm:confused:

I assume it's not likely to be a bad earth from the dial panel. As my Rev counter is dead yet again the garage have had the altinator off and on and thats running AOK.

Heaters OK, and certainly much better than when the head went last winter (result of the affore mentioned rad and the very cold weather just after Christmas last year - moral of the story, buy your landy a Cmas pressie or it asks for a new head!). Main reason for asking is coz if it really is...

Had my radiator changed to an ally 1 when my old one disolved about 12months ago. Since then my local indy. LR specialist has used Red (OAT) Antifreeze in my engine, previously I think I was on blue. Are any of the old seals or gaskets likly to suffer from the change or do I just keep going...

Please don't mention Hondas in this conversation (see http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f16/body-repairers-wirral-167213.html) I'll post a pic when the insurers stop telling me to not talk about it. anyway, now:focus:

Oops, didn't mean to start a row! I look at it form the numbers still in service point of view, any car that generally makes it over the 200k mark with general maintainance and service is doing OK. The point I was trying to make that the survey only looked at newer cars and that in relation...

Just logged out of my hotmail account to be presented with this: The most and least reliable 4x4s and SUVs - Most and least reliable used 4x4s and SUVs - Photos - MSN Cars UK Shame they don't take account of the fact that no-one in their right mind would use a warrenty company for a "Real"...

Anyone know a good, sympathetic (R reg disco doesnt always look worth saving to everyone) body repair shop in the Wirral area? Well I wasnt planing to meet with a Honda this morning when I braked, skided (downhill), over compensated and scraped my front wing down a Honda (CRV?).:mad: Anyway...

I recently made the silly mistake of knocking a switch to a 12v socket in the boot as I got out of my Disco. I then discovered this some 18hrs later after a 55w flood had been on under my coat. By some miricle I didn't burn the car to pieces (or even the coat) however I did bring the battery...

Sorry guys, I'm sure this has been hammered but I have finaly re-installed the roof lining in the Disco (only took about 18months!) following a whole variety of leeks. Anyway the last step to ensure a good finish was to replace the glass-case seal on the sunroofs (they havn't leeked since being...

So, I have decided that we get it fixed, however, anyone know any particular good (IE CHEAP) places to get a new head. Looking for new (and as they mostly seem the same price probably go for the "improved cooling" new design.seams about £350inc VAT but + delivery

Indeed we are going to pay the garage to check out the head properly and take it from there (I know, it should be a DIY to strip it down but I'm really struggling for time to spare at the moment).

Bump - James is using my Landyzone account to say "Hello!"

Does sound like an idea that would need more explanation, most people I know would propose much more the oposite?

Symptom for a cracked head is the opinion of the guy at the garage who has listened to a few.

My head gasket has gone (most likely caused by a radiator freeze during the last cold snap) :( and before anyone asks I'd just had it in the garage for a fluids change so the mix in the rad theoreticaly good, just unlucky not moving it for a couple of days in the cold) :mad: Anyway the...

Think I may well chance ordering it tonight, you'll know how well it fits shortly based on if a v. new 2nd hand YT appears on here next week!
