hello all.with the prospect of an m.o.t.comig up on my rebuilt Disco 1,I wa sdisgusted to fid that the majority of isures refuse to cover a vehicle that has no M.O.T.In view of the fact that it is illegal to drive a vehicle to an M.O.T, test without insurance,this seems rather odd,and as it...

thanks Kev, havnt checked it yet,but I a sure you are right,as there is nowhere else inside the car that it can connect to,I must have dragged it off the heater valve while fitting a nrw windscreen,and couldnt figure out where it goes,regarding the rough running,I have today found that the...

thanks,have you any idea what the proper name for the "cistern ball" is,or what it does?

hello all,bolted to the nearside jack storage platform,is what I can only describe as a cistern ball,with two outlet points.One has a rubber pipe going to the plenum chamber, while the other doesnt have any pipe on it.the only pipe I can think may have come off it,runs paralell to the bonnet...

thanks Mark ,didnt have any string,but will give it a go using the old screen first to get the hang of it,Phil.

hello everyone,anyone fitted a disco 1 windscreen,me and my mate struggled most of the day trying to fit a new seal and windscreen,problem is getting the corners of the seal over the glass,the dvd manual says the seal should be fitted to the frame first rather than the seal being fitted to the...

Hello everyone,My 1993 disco 1 came with 2 new rear springs,one of which had been fitted by the previous owner(offside). At one end, there are about 4 coils closely spaced together,marked with a red/grey paint code,while the oother end has normally spaced coils. while removing the old nearside...

I can reccomend the mm sills,they are identical to the originals.I welded the inner and outer sections together before fitting them,as I dont like welding upside down,but you have to jack the body as high as you can in order to get the body mounting bolts through,I read on one of the forums that...

Thanks, will try re programming the fob,seems to be back to normal for now.

Hi everyone, the alarm/immobiliser on my 1993 Disco V8 has been playing up,sometimes pressing the keyfob button,the light on the keyfob will flash,but the doors remain locked needing repeated presses on the button to unlock the doors. Tried using the key to unlock ,the first try the door...

thanks,will get some tomorrow,and give it a go,fluid seems to be under a fair bit of pressure though, but its only a stop gap till Ican get another cooler. Cheers.

Evenin'all.My transmission oil cooler appears to have a pinhole fracture at one end.The disco is off the road for bodyshell repair.Any one got any suggestions for any temporary repair,so I can start the engine without losing all the fluid? Cheers, Phil.

I know that the service spec. changed from oil to grease,but which is actually best as regards lubrication,oil or grease?

Thanks everyone,starter is ok at the moment,just hope it stays that way.

Morning all,under the o/s front corner of my V8 disco1,between the long radius arm and the axle diff. housing,there is a strange vertical disc shaped thing.Though shown on the underbody photo in the haynes manual,it is not named,and (as usual) there is no mention of it in the manual. Anyone know...

Thanks everyone, seems it makes more sense to keep the cats after all. Cheers.

Have just bought inner & outer offside sills,from M&M 4X4 AT Worcester.Collected mine in person,so cannot comment on delivery service, but am very impressed with the quality,and they are an exact match for what is underneath. Not cheap at £131 the pair(inc.v.a.t) but I am certainly going to buy...

mm4x4 do excellent innere and outer discovery 1 sills,have just bought the offside set.They are an exact match for what is underneath. £131 pounds,or approx 50 £per sill.Have not fitted mine yet,but am very impressed with the quality.Ask for the ones made in Coventry if you decide to buy.

hi everyone,what is the law regarding the catalytic converters on my 1993 disco1 v8. Are they a legal requirement. or were they just an option when the vehicle was new?Iwould like to replace them with a normal non cat system if this is legal and feasable. Any suggestions?
