So who is staying there ? Is it just you ? I take it you are taking a holiday from the parents

Me and the dog.. bliss Everyone is so friendly too! Think I might never come back My dad is coming up for 4 days soon, well see how that goes.

Sorry to jump in and hijack (the photo looks incredible by the way - where?) but would anyone be organizing another outing soon? I'm really up for coming to meet new people and see different lanes/areas. Also have a friend with a Discovery that I think would tag along.


Would be good to meet if anyone would like to?

Hi Chris,

Sorry not ignoring you just got in from a works meeting thingy.

Erm I have that defender box here welcome to come and unbolt it. I'm possibly picking up a diff and front locker tomorrow tho.

Will let you know when I know meself.

NO worries Jai... will the defender box hook up ok to my existing gearbox?

Will bolt straight up however older box and not checked the input gear as its still bolted to the gearbox.

I do have a disco transfer box but the gear in that is gone. IF your gear is good you could put that into the disco box and keep your ratio as it should be.

Spent the day welding a few patches onto the back of the disco. While the chassis is sound the body and boot floor has a ot of rot so I am starting at the back and working my way forward. Removed the bumper and was greeted by a bunch of holes that looked more like a teabag than anything else! Welded on a few patches and then going to paint it... shove the waxoil from the garage inside the bodywork cavity (the car's not mine!!!) and then decide whether the rear bumper is going to be refitted or whether I will simply do something more interesting with the mounting points...

Way beyond my expertise! lets separate the 'fender unit... if the gearbox is good I could be tempted to have that as well... how much cash we talking about?

Would the fender bell housing fit onto my flywheel housing?

By the way... I am removing the plough from the disco - not planning to tow anything major and when I do it will likely the Chrysler that does the graft! So I will have a disco tow bar up for grabs if anyone is interested...

Nope too short wrong turret etc and I need to keep the defender box as a trade in for ashcrofts as and when.

T box £20.

I ahve a TD5 Rear fuel tank for a 90 for sale aswell £50. Great for an expedition 90.

Sold on the xfer box mate!

Pop round the weekend to seperate it if that's ok?

No Problem.

Hopefully I'll shall be installing a front diff locker to the front of my 90 at the weekend. Then hunt for some front shaft breaking terrain to play with on Sunday! I'm sure I'll twang the front end being 10 spline will have to take it very easy me thinks!
