My 1988 90 Hardtop 2.5 petrol needs new discs and pads. Should I just put on
the cheapest replacements or can anyone recommend an upgrade?
ta,
David

The exhaust smoke from my 1989 90 2.5 DT is quite disturbing. Once warmed up
and driven, all is ok (after 10 mins or so), but it only needs to sit for 20
mins, and on start up its smokey as hell again?
Had new oil,  fuel and K&N air filters.

Any recommendations?  I've decided as an in-advance new year's resolution to
stop greenlaning on my own, so joining a bunch of like-minded people seems a
good idea.
I'm in Holmfirth.

Anyone using a coolant pressure tester? I bought the craftsman and it
was a POS, the bladder popped up under test pressure, jeez. I heard
that Stant is good but they don't have an adapter for LR as far as I
know.

In a quest to decide whether to keep the current disco and improve it or
whether to replace it with a newer one, I decided to cost the improvements
I'd like to make, and one is to replace the discs and calipers...
This raises couple of questions...

Am in the process of replacing my front air spring.  Got everything
apart, but can I get the lower retaining pin out? - can I b*llocks!
I have removed the bolt, and pulled and pulled and twisted and bent and
done everything I can think of, but the bloody thing refuses to move at

J**p cockup.

hi all, just wanted to say MERRY XMAS to all on a.f.l.

Driving home tonight, the oil warning light started to light when the engine
was idling at junctions, but went out when the revs increased. I checked the
engine oil level and it was up to the full mark , after letting it stand for
a few minutes. There is also a knocking noise. ...

Can anyone suggest a good after-market thermometer?  What I want is
something with a sensor that can be mounted reasonably close to road-level
on a Disco I, with a display I can easily read while driving in the dark
(which I suppose pretty much dictates an illuminated digital ...

Hiya all,
I have just bought six new tyres BF GOODRICH 235/85 R16 They are All Terrain
T\A. They were not cheap and I think my poor credit card nearly melted.
Anyway the garage have inflated them all to 28 psi.

Will standard disco S1 steels fit onto a standard s3 88". Disco wheels ghave
235/75x16 on them at the moment, and a lot more tread than my aging s3 tyres

This is a follow up to an earlier thread discussing the merits of diesel
 heaters 24v, 12v etc.
I purchased a 24v Eberspacher D1LC heater from a chap on eBay.  It sat
in its box until a couple of days ago when I started to look at fixing
