Evening all
The saga of the Green RR continues.   I have abandoned solving the
rumbling/whining noises from the front end in favour of this (new) problem:
Idles OK-ish at about 750-800.  As the engine speed increases it's

Joint on new cats back dripping water when engine is running. The clamp has
2 bolts and washers on my disco 1. I tried to tighten it but it still drips

muffler to let out condensation.Tia

Hi Group
I live close to a school and see the problem every day except Sat & Sun.
What happened to parents being responsible for their children? You see two
(or more) women stop for a chat while their children run all over the place

MOT question.
The question; would a freelander pass its MOT if the drive to the rear
wheels was disconnected?
I have just been servicing my freelander, and am concerned about the Viscous

Mate has asked me to buy 5l to fill his Disco gearbox when I'm in the UK
- he can't get it here, and reckons it is difficult to get hold of in
the UK too.
Any ideas where I could pick it up off the shelf? (in Bristol?)

...put the van round the back of the house the other day cos it is
closer to the workshop when I'm loading/unloading - well, since then it
has done nothing but bloody chuck it down (can you see where this is
going?!)  Need the van out for a 6am start tomorrow so thought I'd do it ...

When I drove the car for any distrance, say 200km at 110km/hr (using cruise

There's a company in Yeovil that refurbish doors, by welding-in new bits
of frame etc., at a flat rate of around 100/door.  I'm tempted to get

I have a late 1996 built V8 discovery
The other day was very hot here (42 deg C) and I had to drive it into town
(30 klms), ran fine and temp gauge stayed where it should even with aircon
on full blast.

Hi Boys & Girls

When are you going to Move your 4x4 ,I said the  its on drive, you have left

I can't work out these lights, there is only one power connection that goes
onto existing connections at the headlamp, so the whole lot is running from
one power source. I can't see that being a problem, but the headlamp monitor
will be bollocksed for the headlamp that isn't ...

Hi all.  First post.
Does anybody know if there is an easy way to unstick the metering
valve inside the body of the diesel injection pump?  I've got to the
stage on my rebuild where thought I was ready to start the thing, but

Just heard that the Indian company Tata is talking about buying Jaguar
and Land Rover from Ford !
