Hi all,
How easy is it to change the front brake discs on a Disco I 200 TDi 1992.

Just ordered a couple from Beamends ( great price!) and don't trust/can't be
bothered to get HBOL from nasty cold garage tonight!

Any pitfalls to watch out for?

Yes, make sure that you don't get the discs muddled up, one is left
handed, one is righthanded.

For real? The last set I had were the same, that said it was a RRC but no
difference to the naked eye.

Both bolt to the hub so whats the difference unless they are cross drilled,
My D1 ones are just vented.

My 1995 3.9 V8 hasnt even got vented ones. Just solid. Is it worth
upgrading to drilled or vented when I change them in the spring?

A nice conversion you can perform on a 300 series Disco with single feed to
the front is use 110 Vented front calipers these have the larger pistons and
seem to give a better breaking performance these with a cross drilled and
vented disc are great for road use. When fitting any caliper I always
rebuild them using stainless pistons and Genuine seals this combination
seems to last forever as you don't get seized pistons, uneaven wear, or the
wiper seals popping out due to exccesive heat.

Perhaps it depends which way round you offer them up to the hub? ;-)

student nurse off to get a pair of fallopian tubes. And he went.)

My first factory based holiday job was Controlled Packaging in
Westbury when I was 15. I was sent to the stores for a can of
striped paint and a long stand.
On arrival at the stores I told the storeman what I'd been sent
for, and that I knew the joke.
He sat me dowm, and made a brew. He then found a tin of paint that
had a good solid crust on it and painted some (red) stripes on the
crust, with matching stripes on the lid.
After another brew the foreman sent someone to find me.....

Vented ones could be handed if the vents are directional.

But I suspect a wind-up otherwise. Never seen solid discs that are handed.
The calipers probably are...

Indeed - I lived in Bratton for many years. Very nice until they built
Colditz.

Been a long time since I did this on a 1989 RR but, as I recall, getting the
discs off the hubs in situ was impossible. I remember taking the whole hub
off, rebolting it to the wheel and then sitting on the tyre whilst
slackening the bolts that hold the disc ot the hub. The bolts themselves
were some sort of splined ones but I found a deep socket which fitted just
fine.

Maybe somebody else could confim the method I used to get the discs and hubs
apart - I am preety sure that I picked it up on here to start with?

Getting the discs off the hubs insitu would be a neat trick as they are
bolted to the back of the hubs. Bolting the hub to undo the disc bolts
is, though, a good trick. Getting the disc off the hub, even with the
bolts removed, is often a fairly violent procedure ;-)

You have to take the calipers off - make sure that you use the right size
multipoint socket (and a good quality one at that) - if you get metric/
imperial/13mm/14mm mixed up then you stand a good chance of knackering the
bolt heads, and then you *are* in trouble. I actually did mine during
the week (Sock! Horror! BeamEnds actually maintains own vehicle!) and
found that, though a 14mm socket fitted ok, I could tap on
(with a hammer) a 13mm socket - the bolt came out easily with no damage
at all. I'm not reccommemding that though, just a personal observation!

Yes, i was having a windup. Was gonna wink, but I left the smiley off
because i wanted to see how many people would take me seriously.

As for Apprentice's impossibilities, there are endless amounts to
choose from, viz.

A Long Weight (particualrly usefull if you have handy a set of weights
with one missing)
Bucket of Gas
Glass Hammer
Lefthanded Screwdriver
Set of Skyhooks
Tartan Paint
A Long Slow Screw
Some metal sparks for the grinder
Set of clearances
Tin of Elbow Grease
Non-Duplex paper for the copier
Dehydrated Water
Box of Holes
Solar powered Torch (they do exist, actually - rechargable)
Indian Rope (for when there's nothing to tie the top end to)
Single ended sash clamp
Lumionous Sundail
Diluted Water
Inflatable Dartboard
Waterproof Teabag
Bags for the Dyson (This is a relativly new one!)
Bubbles for the spirit level
Diesel Spark Plugs

And the list goes on....

:)) We used to send the student radiographers out to the waiting room with
a fake request form. They'd bellow out for a Mr. Hugh Janus before
realising. Don't think we'd get away with it these days though.

Unrelated, but I went to school with a John Smith, who once spent a night in
the cells because the police wouldn't believe he was giving his real name.
