Clearly the aircon on the Tdi 300 Disco has a thermostat - I can hear it
clicking in and out when it's on the coldest setting. Trouble is, coldest
setting isn't cold enough, is there an over-ride somewhere I can adjust?

Im about to buy a roofrack for my 90 prior to overlanding.
Short List of Racks so far:
    Patriot    - Aluminium, bolted construction
    Hannibal - Aluminium, welded construction

Well MOT out of the way, Aircon sorted finally thought I'd better vent my
frustration via some elbow grease.
Gave Oscar a once over today, took a few years off him :-)

Geez, I dunno, a couple of days above +15C and all the
air con units get a workout or not as the case maybe.
Buy a Series LR and open the under windscreen vents!!

If you have a Disco 1 (mine is the 300 shape V8 ES) then check your aircon
pipes, specifically the one that runs under the Battery from the cooler
beside the radiator. This pipe has by design another pipe from something
which I forget which chaffs against it.

One of the front EAS sensors on my RR is not working, can I canibalise a
rear sensor and use the bits to fix the front one? Rear sensors seem more
available than fronts.
Of course, if anyone has a front EAS sensor going spare, I'm sure we could

I think I have an occasional light misfire.
Sometimes idle is not rock steady and occasionally I think I can
detect a slight stutter when cruising.
I will treat her to a new set of Leads (Magnecor Blue) and plugs

The wipers on the 300 Tdi Disco won't park properly and intermittant wipe
sweeps the blades halfway then they stop for a while before completeing the
wipe. Had a look for anything obvious with no luck, does anyone have any
ideas at all?

For the Disco 1
Tows quite a bit, as in distance by not frequency. Don't want my fillings
knocking out and don't want to pay for a lable.
Do I stick to the OME or should I be looking at something a little more?

Wish I had the cash to brgin this back to Pembrokeshire. Lovely!

hello All, first posting here so hopefully I won't make any clamatous
errors and get flamed to death.
Im on the prowl for ideas really. For some reason my 1989 90 has
developed 2 odd faults.

Just about to start my rebuilt 4.6 Range Rover engine for the first
time.  I've put a brand new short motor in.  Any tips on how I should
go about starting it and running it in?  I'd like to spin it over first
without it starting to get oil circulated, the engine is dry and the

Having spent the best part of a week on and off swapping the heater matrix
(thank you Richard @ Beamends for the advice - it was a dodgy one, supplier
ordered another one, all OK), I thought I'd try and resolve the issue I have
