My TD5 Disco has started to hesitate when accelerating (even lightly) when
heavily loaded at high speed, i.e. greater than 70mph. Is this a sign of
fuel starvation (fuel filter, fuel pump), or something worse/more expensive?
Thanks

Are the news authentic? Rover factory is on its end? What about services
worldwide, parts and accessories supply?

Anyone know of a cheap mail order place for BFG AT's?, looking for something
a bit bigger than the standard 235/70/16 ( I think) that's on there at the
moment to fill the 2" lift I put on.
Are there 245/75/16's ?

All,
A friend of mine is rebuilding a IIB FC and is looking for the bolts and
nuts to hold the transmission brake drum together. My local LR dealer
claims that there are no bolts/studs shown on his parts diagram.

Hi matey, you never rang me back!
I keep getting my e-mails bouncing back.
I still need the bits.

All,
I recently have been given a book published by LR (end of 1980s) about
taking your Defender in the bush, specifically in Africa.  I have
personally seen many series X in Africa, all very old and often fixed by

Disco 1, in fact.  Anyone know if you can swap the hinge pins, and if it's
worth the effort, or is it easier to swap the whole hinge?

I have an defender TD5 and when my light switch is in the middle my
dimm light is burning and that is not normal it has to be out.
The other two positions do not work. I have check the switch and he is
working. What can be the problem.

Alfie is getting closer to becoming one colour again. Whats the consensus on
removal of the rubber trims on doors. The ones about 1/4 up the door with
the chrome trims (once upon a time).
Anyone any favorite method of reapplication too?

I've been looking at these....

Hi does anyone know the correct measurement fom wheel centre to underside of
wheel arch for front and rear of dicovery one V8. I suspect front springs
are shagged it spends lots of time bottoming when hitting bump at speed (on
road that is)

 When running at speed (60 - 70 MPH) for 10mins or so the temp gets very
near the red, but no further.
When I slow down to 40 - 50 MPH the temp wil still stay near the red for 5
or 6 minutes then it suddenly plunges to below half way!

What effect will the MG Rover shutdown and possible administartiomn ahve on
LR ? I wonder if they will be closed as well ?

Before I go make a fool of myself, does anyone know for a fact if a
fairy Overdrive can be wangled into a SeriesIII while the box stays
fully in place?
From offering it up , it seems feasible.... just.
