    Replaced the axle, wanna see the broken bits? :)

    This always is in the back of my mind when straining the landy up a steep hill off road, sometimes the sheer grip is amazing which must put a hell of a stain on the car. Good work. P.S. what is the tyre & wheel sizes in the picture; looks good.

    Hi all, my 95 (N) disco 300tdi does not have the blip thingy, never had one when I got it and it's a pain checking each door is locked when parking up.

    Can anyone recommend any range rover specialist garages in the edinburgh area?

    I strongly recommend Keith Elgin Motor Engineers of Edinburgh who do all my work on my folks TD5, Keith is very very clued up with Land Rovers and all of their quirks and charges far less than the dealers without compromising quality of work, they are in Canaan Street Lane, Morningside Edinburgh.

    TD5 Braemar - RUST

    We sure have had plenty of salt on our roads up here but strange thing is the nearside is perfect. I would have said the corrosion was down to a previous owners poor body repair but he has had it from new and hasn't even put a scratch on it, I don't fancy getting the welder out to such a nice...
