    $10 Seat cushion repair anyone can do

    My repair was made with stitched PVC canvas, and reusing metal hooks. It feels as original ones. PVC canvas was an idea copied from "Lumbar rest" strap material, in the back from the same seat. Regards

    Crappy brake switch D1

    One mate's Disco had once problems with this switch, but we opened it, and assembled again worked ok. The problem came when he connected a trailer. Are you using only the original brake bulbs? Regards

    Coolant in pass floor

    Mi friend's 95 Disco TDI did leak first from heater core, and a year later one alluminum tube had a leaking point. He got a new set of tubes from local dealer. The insulation foam tubes make difficult to find the leak. Regards
