So, the very mint V8 4.6 may be up for grabs, anyone interested?

I'm finding my 1983 110 V8 CSW a little uncomfortable (it would be nice to
have effective heating, no wind whistling through the gaps in the doors, and
comfortable seats) and I have been thinking about a disco (see separate
post).  SWMBO has other ideas and would prefer to keep the ...

My 95 3.9 automatice Disco has developed a problem with engine idle.
When the car is started the rpm will shoot straight up to about 2500.
It will then fall back to idle in about 500 rpm steps over a period of

Continuing my list of questions, I now have the Disco 1 300Tdi auto and
have been attempting to check all its vital fluids. All seems well, but
the auto box fluid level seems very high. Does this matter?

Is the centre front seatbelt required/tested for the MOT? I currently

Been playing at Slab Common in Hants, nothing too stressful, then to the
pub via the local ford to wash most of the shite off, few beers ect,

Just got back from a couple of hours laning the local area.  Phew,
corking time, some of the river Don has flooded and most of the area we
