How easy is it to replace the control cable for the air direction
(car/windscreen) on a series 3?
Anyone know if these are still available?

Should I be concerned about a whirring noise that comes from the
vicinity of the turbo when I switch off?  You can feel the vibration
in the gear lever and hear the noise in the cabin (doors & windows
shut).

Sorry about the new thread, the old one was getting a bit long & old (for us Microspas users)
Can anyone tell us what is happening (I Know the dates this time!!) & when? Any kind of schedule (for
want of a better word!) etc? What facilities does the camp site have? 230Vac etc?
Etc ...

A few months ago, I bought a Q-reg LR Disco 2.5 Tdi.  I think it's a
1992 model.  A great all-rounder, it's already a firm favourite with
the family.  However, it's got 2 faults which I'm wondering if anyone
can shed any light on.

When I drive it levels up again.
Also noticed something which sound like a noisy pump somewhere under the

just greased the uj's on my disco but there is one that will not take any
grease even with a new nipple, it just comes over the edge of the grease
nipple. i am sure the gun is locating correctly, is there a knack to doing
them, all the rest went ok.

Just taken the rangie in for the re-test and a different guy looked at it.
He has only gone and found more things to do!
1 - Front to Rear brakepipes. Can you get these pre-bent? Or is it a case of
finding someone local to make them? Are they hard to fit?

Looking for a Disco radio, standard fit in an ES model 1997 'P' plate. I

Went on a guided tour of the NT's Clandon House first thing today. Yes I
know that might sound a bit boring, but on parking and getting out of my car
I noticed a Disco parked on it's own across the car park and what appeared
to be light smoke wafting out from under the bonnet.

My Disco TD5 1999 (pride and joy cost me 19K 3 yrs ago) has this intermittent fault:
 a.. Rear suspension is flat on both sides - recovers after driving for a couple of miles
 b.. Drivers side rear suspension remains low - passenger side rear suspension is at correct level

Hi all, I'm looking for your wisdom to help me look in the right places...
My Disco 300Tdi has, for the last few mornings, been really reluctant to
