as quite a lot of customers lurk here and to avoid (hopefully!)
having to explian too many times, this just a note to say that from

Looks really tidy. But are they so special?

If you were starting out on basic car maintenance, what tools would you
buy first?
Which tools would you  economise on (i.e. boot sale purchase) and which

I'm the proud new owner of an L reg 200TDi classic, and I expect I'll be
back with one or two questions over the coming weeks and months. I'm no
mechanic (a bad start perhaps?) but I've been tinkering with one or two
bits and pieces of routine maintenance.

It's apparently going to snow it's arse off. Both yer landies are broke,
there is definately a trend emerging here!
Any further diagnosis on the 101?

The passenger front tyre has feathered badly, drivers' side less so- after
only 30k's. One 'expert' told me that 'they all do that'.
Has this been your experience?
The drag link has wear, I'll replace it & have an alignment done after

1996 Disco 300TDi ES, high mileage. Very sluggish and smokey when cold but

I had my pads changed at the dealer did all 4 wheels, 5 mnths ago. my brake
pedal seems to be traveling farther than before I added some fluid but
wonder if its a good idea to take out some and put fresh in to sort of
change fluid without having to climb under and start bleeding ...

My 1976 RR has an automatic transmission. Not originally and not from
Range Rover. Probably from another British car using the V8. I have
placed some pics on the internet. Would you mind taking a look? Maybe
someone overhere can help me identify the AT.

Hi. Mate of mine has a 60k mile 200 tdi 90. He parked it and nipped to
the shop, when he got back the oil light stayed on when he started the
engine. Towed it to garage put a pressure gauge on it. No pressure.
Put a new oil pump on it. Light went out at tick over, came on and

How many guns exactly should I have in the cellar?
;-)
I think I've covered mostly everything else ... I wish!
On a serious note though, if anyone who hasn't considered it already is off

Will be doin some towing of the Caravan with the 110 in the future, Now
while the Disco mirrors will do when we use that when they have extensions

The 110 looks narrower, so I guess it's going to be worse. Did I dream ...

My 1997 Discovery TDI300 (235,000 km) occassionally overheats - this
usually occurs on very hot days (35C +) when loaded and pushing along
