I have just been having a quick read, for fun, of the "Allegiance against
urban 4x4's". They are selling / downloading official looking parking
tickets which state that you are driving a very unfriendly car, (this is not
an exact quote) etc etc. I was wondering if I found one of ...

Well another weekend under our our belt.
For those who went Off roading Nige and Andy sorry it was such a let down, I
was well miffed.
Apart from the manky weather it was othewise a good do!

Is the rear section of the wings spot welded to the bulkhead? If not , what
are they spot welded to?  If it is the bulkhead, do you have to paint body
with wings already fitted?
thanks in advance

A draft discussion document is reportedly floating around concerning
whether there's merit in developing a Chinese assembly plant for new
Land Rover products, including Freelander[1] and Range Rover Sport.
This follows further unconfirmed reports that plans to pull out of

I'm a bit of a weekend mechanic (although I also build 7.25" steam
locomotives as a hobby),  so a couple of weeks ago, putting a new
crossmember (with extensions) on the Defender 110 CSW was more than I
had done in a while.

At Reggies MOT, whilst my welding was OK,  I have an advisory on the
Front Nearside "King Pin or bush".
As I said in an earlier post I am a weekend mechanic!
Now my Rover P4 110 has "King Pins" however with the Land Rover having a

S3 2.25 petrol. I have got a smiths oil pressure gauge. I would guess
the sender /switch has gone as it reads max when ignition is on and
zero when switched / disconnected. Question is where can I get a new
one or can I fix it ?

I was dirving home with a trailer yesterday and I found that I had
significantly less power than usual. Vehicle is a 96 300Tdi Disco SerI.
After recent posts, I suspected in no particular order:
The lift Pump - I am not convinced mine is working at the last time I

Haven't you all been busy...
It'd take me months to catch up - thank goodness for the 'mark all
read' function!   ;-)

on the 101 the sender for the water temperature is located after the
thermostat which means that it doesnt actually start reading for ages
after you start the engine.
it scares me when i dont see it move after running the truck for 10

Seems to have a an outrigger on the other side. Is this an MOT fail? How
easy/hard is it to repair? Any constructive comments/help welcomed. Thanks
in advance.  (Is their a site with lots of photos of Disco body repairs?)

I've just found out that I can't fit my own gas conversion :(  Cheapest
quote so far is €4000 plus tax (about £3000 all told).  Makes the
payback time less convincing..
Thank you, French bureaucracy!

Hello, I am close to buying a Disco on about M/N reg as I need to tow a two
tonne (approx) trailer about twenty miles a day.
Bearing in mind my budget,small distance covered each day, a need for power

I'm getting on with my little project to make my EAS work by replacing the
computer (after two and a half years of the dealer phoning Land Rover for
help) and it's beginning to work quite well but, before I drag the logic
analyser out to the car, I though I'd ask if anybody knows ...
