I was out messing about in the 90 in the local floods tonight and i have
been confused by water and electrics. It wasnt that deep, only a couple
of foot at max, and water obviously got everywhere.

anyone know where a IIB FC parts catalogue can be got from (at
a reasonable price!).

Any suggestions on how I might take the dashboard apart to replace the
lights on the instrument cluster on a Disco 1.  Is there an easy way or
must the whole dashboard come apart to replace them
Thanks

I've been thinking that I need some advice on the next stage with this
1992 Defender.
The chassis seems OK, but the plan is to get the rear cross member and
the two top corners under the windscreen replaced sometime in the first

I consider myself to be a competent operator of an Arc welder.
However even at low settings it cannot handle panel metalwork (eg footwell )
on my RRC so I think I should take the plunge and get a MIG but I have never
used one so far.

It had to happen...

10 to 20 min ,engine will turn over but will not start.
this happens once or twice a month, have changed the shut off solenoid but

The 101 has its MOT booked for tommorrow morning. I have just been out
doing the final touches and testing things and found that my rear fogs
have somehow stopped working in the last couple of weeks.
I've done some quick testing and it is the main feed wire which doesnt

My '97 Discovery stopped running yesterday.  Engine just died.  Would
restart and run for 5 or 10 seconds then die again.  Starter would not
immediately turn over if you tried key immediately after engine stopped.
You have to wait a few seconds.  Local garage says the computer ...

Twat at work aint interested, they just want everyone out of an
evening. No real explanation, it 'insurance' related.
So, I need to downsize & quick. I'm a lot cheesed off about it.
A 101 is just not a vehicle you can keep anywhere. Anyone interested

I saw some specs for the new freelander today and noticed that it is
really heavy! These new landrovers make a 101 seem small and light!
stock 101 ambi kerb weight - 1925kg (I put it on a weighbridge!)
LR2 kerb weight - 1770kg

Couple of weeks ago I mounted a revised 101 engine in my '81 Rangie. First I
had some problems determining the proper oil level in this engine, has been
solved now.
Done 3000 mls now. Oil consumption 1000 mls/ ltr.

Anyone know the measured length of the inside cargo area of the LR2
with the back seats folded down?
They give cubic volume measurements but that doesn't tell me the length
or width of the inside area.

Anyone know the weight of a front prop for a R380 boxed 90?
Just need a rough estimate for postage costs...
