    Genuine vs pattern

    I'm getting reports of over 20k miles from users on the cheaper pattern parts. To me getting a part from a breakers is a gamble too when I think about it, I mean it could have 100,000 miles on it. I'm not endorsing them, in fact I always go for the best when I'm in a stronger financial...

    Genuine vs pattern

    A gamble would be leaving it as it is lol I hear what your saying but it's got to be done, if it was a hobby truck and not my daily driver I'd leave it till I had the penny's. I'll check the local breakers out though. Up to now though it looks like a britpart replacement. Wheel Bearing...

    Thanks man! Wow £200! That's something I just can't afford and this is something that needs doing now! My budgets probably around £100 and that's it.

    Genuine vs pattern

    Okay so I've found out why there's so much play in the steering! The track rod has had it, which isn't to bad a aftermarket replacements about £35. But the big problem is the front driver side wheel bearing it's toast. So I need to find a replacement. I've have a quick look about and I...

    Genuine vs pattern

    Haha thanks, it's a manual. Thanks for continuing the tradition of pointing out the mistakes first :) Yeah I've been on paddocks and the others, just wanted our opinions on the matter. The ride on my disco isn't the best, I'm going to assess it after the bushes and joint assembly's are...

    Genuine vs pattern

    Finding myself needing some new parts for my Disco 2 "1999" Without ACE and being a bit broke I ask the question "What must not be sacrificed when buying parts for a cheaper alternative?" Parts I need: Fuel Filter Roll bar bushes (are poly bushes really worth the extra?)...

    egr modulator bouncing like........

    It's okay I've figured it out!! The EGR Valve Modulator or whatever a dozen different diagrams called it differently (one calling it egr thingy!!) was going nuts as I discovered there was very little coolant and mainly water in the cooling system and it wasn't cutting it in this warm weather...

    Grinding noise while accelerating

    I checked the front, seemed okay and gave it a good squirt of grease. I'll check the back one shortly. Could it be the transmission??

    Grinding noise while accelerating

    It's a Diesel mate, I've been listening to the engine whist driving and the sound is constant while accelerating but only really noticible at high rpm's. I sounds like grinding metal. Although my turbo is getting a lovely roar now I've removed the pooped EGR. Thanks for the interest buddy :)

    Grinding noise while accelerating

    I'm hearing a grinding noise while I have my foot down, when my disco 99 is over 2,000 rpm's. it only happens while I have my foot on the gas, I'm thinking maybe it's the UJ in one of the prop shafts. What do you guys think? Could I be right or could it be something else?

    Churning noise pulling away

    After having two ball joints on the driver side front upper and lower of the wheel, I'm now experienceing a churning noise when first starting up and applying the accelerator pedel, not sure if it's connected or not. Is it a ceasing fuel pump?? You can feel vibration through the pedal and the...

    Best price for air bags

    After finding my 99 disco 2 right side air suspension has sprung a leak in its airbag, I've been quoted £250 by my local garage for replacement parts, their dealer prices. Now I know the definitive air suspension guide states you can get them for around £90 each, but where from? Is it better...
