New to site and Landrover

Hi pick my first Disco 300tdi Auto up a week on Sat wanted one for years looking forward to Modifying it over next few years so thought it was best to join this Forum to get as much help as possible

Hi, what are your plans for the old girl? I've been working on renewing the worn bits with new oem spec, it is surprising what they're capable of in standard spec albeit with a few guards added for safety. Tyres are the only thing left on my shopping list (for now!).

Hello Steve, welcome to the site.

Hard to beat the D1 IMHO - we have two

Pics?

The disco has bee owned by a mate of mine for last 4 years its a import but full uk spec He is a absolute perfectionist when it comes to anything he owns Chassis has been wax oiled 6 times since he had it, recent new steering rack,, alternator ,all belts and oils done ,Aircon fully overhauled ,water pump replaced about 6 months ago ,new head lining to be fit before i pick it up ,Tow bar fitted just needs slight attention to rear wheel arches on inside of rear doors where there is a very small amount of surface rust which i will sort before winter .Can anyone tell me how the diff lock works on this model please

Little high/low stick to the left

No mate i know where it is what i meant is how mechanically it works as i am led to believe it is not a true diff lock

It's a centre diff lock, locks the front and back props together but the axle diffs are still open.

Thanks for that any way of modding it so the axle diffs can be locked ?

There's various after market lockers available but that's a subject in its own right.

Loads of info if you do a forum Search then you can start a thread if you have specific questions

My philosophy here is repair and replace where necessary, modify when you find a need to. If you've not got stuck or found somewhere you can't go you don't need to modify yet.

Just like to say hi
I had a disco 300tdi auto & it was badly abused over 10 years. Kids learning to drive in it, towing banger cars to various tracks, off tossing and not once did it let me down.
Tin worm got it in the end, a sad day
Enjoy it
