Bugger me, as I'm using the RRC as my full time ride due to work at the
moment, I needed to find a specifiic address in Barnsley today & as i
approached on the M1 the thing couldn't tri-angulate etc. Is it the heated
screen (useful as it it is!) or just the very 'flat' screen ...

I want to fit this winch which I suspect is ex seeboard or similar, to my
1989 110 CSW V8. The PTO "bit" seems to fit to the gearbox just fine and
goes in and out of gear ok.
What route should the PTO shaft take?

Landrover Defender 300Tdi  (1998)  Immobiliser problem.
I am having problems starting the vehicle. Put the key in the ignition, and
have to wait a while before the immobiliser will allow me to start the
engine. Some times it will take several attempts to get it started. I have

I'm seriously considering buying a N or M reg. Discovery. I've never
owned a Land Rover before, and I don't have any mechanical skills or
knowledge. I'd like to know what to look for (that a novice can find)
when looking at a Discovery.

I have a new problem with my fuel and temp gauges, I assume its a
voltage regulator problem but as I have already bought 2 this year I
thought I should check other ideas before I pay out again.
When I first start the engine the gauges read fine (apart from

I have a vague recolletion of someone mentioning that the V8 exhaust gaskets
should go in a particular way around. Any one know which way?
I.e. which side faces the head and which side faces the manifold.

All,
My TD5 tends to run cold.
While it was not too cold outside, I was accepting the argument that the
engine is a big lump so needs time to warm up.  Now it's a bit cold, I find

Will fit either a 200TDi (screw holes required in the load area) or a
300TDi (screws straight in).
Make me a (sensible) offer.
I am in the Trowbridge area, so I suggest collect only.  Although I do

OK - dumb question to start the weekend:
Got to bleed the brake system this weekend (1990 110 with rear drums) and
I've noticed that the front calliper brake nipple is conveniently hidden
between two bolt heads (just to make it impossible to get any sort of swing

A tale of woe...remote fob No 1 showed as low battery on dash display so I
used No 2 fob. No2 fob failed yesterday ;leaving me with engine immobilised
and EKA 30 miles away at home! having got the code I am now using the key.
Not too much of an issue.

Top bloke that I have met a few times, the WRC has already missed him.
34 is too young for any kind of illness.
RIP fella.

'92 Disco 200 Tdi, no idea what box, it was changed prior to purchase at
124000 miles, intergalactic mileage - 220,000 but usually runs sweet as a
nut.
Today it decides to stick in 5th gear. Nothing would budge it so I had the

Are Trakker High-backs only available from Exmoor Trim, or can I get a
better price from somewhere else ?

I have a problem with the starter in the 101.
I replaced the starter motor recently and now it doesn't always engage.  
It's a pre-engage type, with the solenoid engaging the pinion.  Except
it doesn't always engage the pinion, even though the motor itself turns
