So I have replaced the caliper pins and fresh pads however I still have the rattle. I was out laning yesterday and it was particularly bad over bumper but on a smooth road it's okay. It happens when my foot is on or off the brake. I have checked for play this morning and I cannot find...

So while driving today I head a rattle when hitting a bump. Laid under the car and discovered i can move the brake caliper and recreate the metallic noise. I can do this both sides but one is worse than the other. Caliper bolts are tight and so are the carrier bolts. Would I be right in...

New thermostat it is!

So went out laning yesterday. Car got to temperature on the road and then when laning the temperature on the gauge dropped. I've recently changed the lower coolant rail and bled the system following how sierra does it. I was in 2nd gear low range laning at about 1500 - 2000rpm. My only theory...

Hi, does anyone know where to get new plugs that commonly get water ingress in the passenger footwell?

Yes that's certainly on the list!

Started repairing my inner wings today, the rot had gone to the floor. Here are some before and after pictures, I'm still not quite done cutting some bits need trimming. I have a repair panel from froggarts which i think will work perfectly and the rest is actually quite straight forward...

So this month I'm replacing the inner wing with a panel from Froggatts but I also need to replace part of the passenger front floor/bulk head. What thickness metal do I need for this? It's a discovery 2.

Can anyone tell me what grease nipples are needed to grease props on a disco 2? I see that you need to remove grub screws to do it but not sure what thread etc is needed to install a grease nipple.

So my discovery 2 needs the inner wing welder and some of the bulkhead/floor where the loom is. I'm going to tackle it myself and I found one thread with pictures but does anyone else have pictures of their repairs?

Hopefully this isn't in the wrong section, my discovery 2 needs the inner wing, body mount and an outrigger welding. I'm going to pick up a welder 2nd hand, I'm a complete newbie to welding but am not afraid to learn. I've found a clarke 135te on Facebook, would this be powerful enough for...

It's a good make, all our cambelts are gates however when its dearer than genuine by about 25 quid then genuine is a no brainer

Thanks chaps, I work in a motorfactors and genuine is cheaper than a gates one i can get.
