A friend of mine has had the rear of his Disco tray backed. I've been doing other works on this n he says it drives awful, I've watched it drive on a motorway doing around 50mph. The rear axle looks like it just skips along, he's running 35inch Silverstones has +11inch shocks, +2inch progressive...

Hi guys not been on for a while after selling my bobtail. On my bob tail I ran +2 suspension lift and +2 body lift. I've just brought another V8 and this time want to keep the boot space so won't be bobtailing it, I'm planning to do all the lift in the body, lose the rear bumper and cross...

My swivel balls on the axle I'm refurbishing are pitted a bit and I don't want to replace with the Teflon coated ones. So I contacted this Chrome refurbishing company which quoted £86 for the pair all in. Which I thought was a very reasonable price. Just thought I'd share it with you all...

I'm altering the castor correction on my front axle, I was wondering if anyone has taken a inch or so off the diff pan to give more ground clearance? I'm looking at flattening the bottom off. I know I'm adding a 2 inch lift, but I don't want massive tyres, I'm adding it for the angles. I think...

My rear right tail lights are out both in the bumper and in the cluster. I've checked all the fuses, changed the cluster, looked over the wires n can't find anything obvious. I'm at a absolute loss with it all the others work i.e. indicators, brake ect. Anybody come across this before...

I'm going to be lifting my Disco by 2inches, so I'm going to weld n redilling the swivel positions 3°. Also I'm going to crank the arms at the chassis end the 3° too. I'm looking to keep the bushes as off the shelf parts as well as the prop shaft My question is would it be better to cut off n...

As it says I'm breaking a 300tdi 3 door. Engine runs sweet as a nut done 177000mile, gearbox and transfer box good. May parts available. Stoke on Trent area. Regards n thanks Steve.

The transfer box in my 300tdi discovery is jumping into neural from high. If I hold on to the lever I can fell it trying to. If its in low it is fine all the time. The diff lock is free and is disengaged to so its not that. Regards Steve

Hi all my 300tdi 94 es manual drives along then loses all gears. It is as if the transfer box is jumping into neutral. It shudders whilst doing this then if I push it into low n back into high it will drive again but I have to ride the cluch a little bit to pull off. I know shes a old beast...

I've got a 300tdi 1994 Disco manual. The issue is it starts n revs, it'll drive for a couple of hundred yards, then losses all power. I've up to now changed the filter, fuel line, lift pump (be it a cheep one as all they had) and even drilled the top the sender to put a new pipe in. After...

Hi I'm looking to spend a bit of money on my disco 300tdi, as I only paid £360 for it and its done 15000 since my last MOT. And its done 235000 so the interior is a bit tired. The only 2 re-trim kits I can find are black vinyl with or without logo print centre and brown. The model I've got is...

Hi I just wanted to share the new bumper I've made today. And I must say I'm well chuffed with myself lol, just got to add a light bar and get it powdercoated.

I've brought a 95 2.5tdi Disco for £360 ES. The mileage is high at 254,000 but doesn't sound like its done that. In fact quite quiet as it goes. It needs a new O/S inner-wing (done), O/S sill and N/S rear body mount. A few other bits and bobs but on the whole its a good motor. What Im after is...

Hi all long time since I been on Just wondering how you would go about setting the camber on the front axles,on the rave disks it says there isn't one. But there must be because its out on the O/S and not to bad on the N/S. Regards Steve

My 95 Disco 3.9 V8i is ticking, its coming from the left bank closest to the bulk head. It only tick's during acceleration, once up to speed it quieten's down or doesn't do it. I know a lot of people will say slipped liner, but it does it when hot or cold. Also there isn't any coolant loss, or...

Hi all just wondering if anybody is breaking a Disco with the grey seat belts, I'm after the buckle and lap belt. I've put the seat down on mine and broken the plastic and with the MOT lumming it needs replacing. I've checked here first before the old e-bay as maybe someone wants some beer...

Does anybody know if Disco 2 seats will go into a disco 1? It's mainly the rear seats I'm wondering about as I could make most front seats fit. I'm not looking to fit the boot seats either. I have done a search but only found people wanting to do it from Discos to Range Rovers, regards Steve

I'm going to change my front and back discs, my question is what tools do I need? Its 95 V8i Disco, Im going to put some solid drilled and slotted discs on are they much better than standard solid discs?

Could anyone tell the length and width of a ZF4HP-22 autobox? Or just the size of a manual one as they will be roughly the same regards Steve

I've changed the auto-box oil a couple of weekends ago. Today went down the road first thing this morning it seemed to be stuck in first, then lost all drive. So I stuck it in neutral and back to drive and off it went again. Then about 10 miles into the journey when I got up the torque converter...
