Here is my beautiful land rover discovery



Unfortunately last friday one little Peugeot did this:





Now I'm in big trouble. Insurance will pay me some money. The lady did not see the stop sign...



The case is totally destroyed so I need to replace it... I need help...
 
I live in Serbia, Discovery is not so common as in UK...

But I think that I can find one 4 door Discovery imported from UK.

My first question is:

Chassis for 2 door and 4 door are they the same?


P.S. Excuse my bad English...
 
Better off looking in European countries than uk, less rust to worry about. Try looking in Belgium as they are about to experience a huge tax hike on 4x4's so maybe some going cheap that you could buy and drive back. At least everyone is ok
 
My first step is to convert this red Disco from right hand drive to left hand.
Any experience would be appreciated...
I have already converter couple Freelanders so I have some experience.




Does anybody have any experience in this matter?
 


First disassemble the old Land Rover...



I need more space ...To switch the steering wheel from right to left.



And after 30 minutes convertible Discovery. :)



It looks nice, But it's still cool to be driving such a convertible :)
 


Yet I could not resist, we got a little ride around the village. Fortunately there were no police in sight ;)



After a short drive, we dismantled the interior and prepare to move the steering wheel.



Beautifully preserved, just sorry to disassemble, but I have to do it... :(



Wiring my biggest problem. The wires all over the place a lot of connectors ...
 


Everything has to be dismantled to move parts from the old to the new Land Rover.

I found a strange device digging in electrics.

It looks like an electric thermostat and it is connected with a box for heating. What is it?





There are two relays and a probe that is inserted into the box with the radiator. :confused::confused::confused:

Really, all you need to do is sit down to news to know the world seems to be getting crazier by the day and its really starting to show on the roads as well. There are too many people on the road these days who in actual fact should not even be allowed to push a pram. How do miss a stop sign and what happened to good old situational awareness? Just the past weekend, I watched from behind as someone in one of those hot hatches try to beat an articulated truck to the entrance of a single lane roundabout. Let's just say I peed a little as I watched the whole thing act out.

Back when I still had my d2 with its bumpers made of biscuits, I discovered a level of rage I never knew I had when all those loonies were up to their antics zipping by too close for comfort.
 
From right to left, wipers ...

Before:



After:



But it is not just a mirror image, the lever, the wiper motor ...



Wrong side ;)



Just a few more weeks and I'll ride again ...
