RJ092's Maltese Disco 1!

After a few months of ownership, here's my Discovery 300 TDi.
1995 reg with AC, electric mirrors, headlight adjustment but looks to be a GS.
Became mine in June after my first car needed a new home! been dying to get myself a Land Rover for years and finally I own one!







(i did not realise they would be such large pics! anyone know how to downsize them? )
I'll post a few updates on what's being done at the moment hope you guys approve! (Y)

After a few days of ownership i started noticing the little niggles.. these being

- The aerial does not function, it only stays up.
- The replacement electronic aerial on the windscreen does not work either.
- The AC was not blowing cold enough on hot summer days.
- The rear N/S door wouldn't lock/ unlock on the central locking fitted.
- The central locking itself was iffy.
- The rear washer jet was missing.
- The Driver's door frame catches the B-pillar unless the window is all the way up.
- The electric mirror motor gears seem to have missing teeth as only grip sometimes.
- The softbar was too tight and too close to the bonnet so i couldn't get to the catch when opening it..
- Oil leak coming from somewhere.. might be under vac pump. might be oil cooler pipes.. not really pinpointed yet..
- tyres were very close to legal limit.
- sterio + speakers were not working.
- Paint Lacquer on the roof was peeling.
- Back box is more like a pasta strainer.

ANYWAY! i love it to bits and it never ever let me down yet! all in all chuffed!!

Right so first thing i addressed was the Central locking.. where i hit a wall since the system seemed to be a cheepo after market deal that seemed to be losing control of it's magic box of tricks. tore it all out. back to the good old key now! lol

still had some problems with the locks tho. the plastic striker that the outside handle pushes seemed to have worn down and therefore drive's door wouldn't open.. I fixed that by sticking a block of plastic on the place where it strikes. problem solved door now opens perfect!

+1 for Ingenuity lol

Second thing was nicking the ridiculously expensive (at the time for me.. im a student still!) stereo system from my Astra and put that into my Disco!
So i started out with these in my rear pillars.. They were not even connected up!! worked well but i had better ones soooo...




JOB DONE!

Can you down size them, use photo bucket.
