Well i finally had a chance to really investigate the Disco today and found Many horrors, but none that worry me too much!

First up the Cills...

One side has some sort of cover, the other...doesn't.





Underneath the sills have seen better days it has to be said...











Not sure on the best course of action for these (Does being a 3dr make this harder as the cill seems to go along way under the rear quarter panel!?) I'm also stumped as to what people class as the inner and outer cill, it all looked like one piece to me!

Investigated the boot floor also... yep, that's knackered, so i'll be working on that!

Looked into the leak at the rear hub, not sure but think this is grease rather then oil?





Solution for this then will be to rebuild with new parts from the stub axle out i suppose? Best do both sides while i there, is the front assembly worth doing to?

Rear diff...

What the Hell is this...



Front Diff...

What happened to this?



Also the prop shaft connection looks like its cracked?!

Steering Box...

MOT advisory on slight leak, this looks more then slight, any common issues/solutions?



The drivers side of the engine is looking very oily... i was thinking rocker cover gasket?






Thanks for all your help in advance!! Also apologies that i'm very green to all this, i'm used to working on a slightly less corroded TT... shouldn't take too long to get used to the disco though...hopefully!
