1st few weeks ownership!!!

And it's going great!!!!
Wet carpet drivers side and using abit of water, so removed the sodden article expecting a leak from heater matrix but no!!!! waiting for some heavy rain.....

Had a look under bonnet for signs of coolant loss, no evidence there!!!Taken on a decent run of about 100 miles used no water!

so it's only using it on short runs, from where is anybodys guess

Absolutely solid with only spots of surface rust in boot, inner wings amazing and sills as new!!! regular waxoyling does work:clap2:

V8 with gas conversion..... broken fuel gauge as topping up tank from a jerry can resulted in overflow of the good stuff! a full tank!! bonus

Wouldn't go into diff lock, but strangely it was just a nylon bush in selector mechanism that had dropped it's circlip n popped up. easy fix then.

Just to replace a front wheel bearing, maybe find the rain leak and coolant leak,fix faulty fuel gauge/sender, O and diagnose why there's no abs light illuminating, I did swapped bulb with indicator bulb so it seems the problem lies deeper!!!

I found (its widely known !!) rust biggest problem. Have taken out all carpets/soundproofing etc as they hold moisture (more like bucket loads of water).

Expect more noise (!?)

On top of rust at the mo. But constantly attacking it.

Its a great vehicle to work on. Little complicated electrics.

Disco 1 does all the others do as well, so why bother with the fancy bits.

The bits are only for people who can't do it themselves. :bolt:



Reg,


Mike. :5bsifone:

i love my disco 1

Cant say i've noticed any more noise, but i've only removed the offending drivers footwell area.

O yes and had it in some serious mud and it just took it in its stride:biggrin1:
