The head unit in my D2 packed up and as the CD changer had been useless for some time I bought an Alpine head unit from Halfords for round about £100. There was an adaptor available so that the steering wheel controls worked but I didn't bother. the swap took minutes and it also has a very good...

A long time landy owner but this query is about my other car which is a Jag but has the same 4.2 supercharged engine and ZF gearbox as a Range Rover which is why I am here. I have a misfire at about 1800rpm, particularly noticeable when cold and engine under load like going up a hill. Doesn't...

just to update cos you know how much I hate people who don't, I left the battery on charge all day and its been fine ever since! Must have been a very very tired battery! having said that jump leads are saying in the car a while yet!

Ooh no mines out of the ark! I have a gauge though I have no idea what it means. I will leave it on until bedtime which will mean its had 12 hours and then have a go tomorrow.

Checked and running just over 14.4---14.6v. does that mean something is draining it overnight or alternator? How long should it take to charge the battery fully on a battery charger?

Cheers James!

Another for traffic film remover sprayed on, left and wiped off. I don't find soapy water even with a nail brush gets the grime out of the textured finish.

Once it has started doing that I think its a sign of wear and its very common. To get it reconditioned is about £90. The same happened to me and after getting sick of fiddling around I bought a new head unit with blue tooth for my phone built in for around the same money. Fitting was a doddle...

Being hopeless with electrics I am after ideas of what to check. Battery was flat yesterday morning when I came to start the car so I thought it was ok as car had been standing a few days without use, even though it will normally stand indefinitely and then start fine. So I charged battery all...

Apologies for the delay in responding but thanks to all who replied.

If you bought a longer cable, and you worked locally........

Im guessing he usual places for replacement elements?

Bigeee you will be sorry when your piles are playing up!

As the mornings are colder I am really wishing my heated seat worked. There is power there and the passenger seat works but the element is clearly broken as my arse remains cold. Has anyone changed the element on one and of so how hard is it to do? There was a guy on ebay offering the service to...

You seem a switched on fella mate and I think you have to listen to what your own head is telling you.

"Corsetry!" There's a word you don't hear very often. Oddly exciting!!!

Mine did this and the local repair place said it was very common and would cost about £80 to sort out. I opted for an Alpine replacement head unit which has built in hands free capability and to be honest the sound quality is better. I have lost my column mounted stalks as I was too tight to but...

Never heard of them. Is the purpose so that you can carry more fuel in addition to a full tank?

If you are in Yorkshire message me as I can suggest somewhere. I am assuming you mean a secondhand one?

The main thing to look out for on a disco1 is rust as has been said. Sills, rear wheel arches and chassis particularly around fuel tank. Some cars will lok in great condition but underneath will be little more than scrap. I would forget about converting gearboxes and just buy what suits you...
