Bought a td5 just before Xmas after being without for a few years (had a 4l v8 disco 1 for 12 months).
Anyway, MOT time in a month so I though it worth while looking underneath-first chance what with work and a house extension I've been doing.
All sound and ok apart from nearside side outrigger in front of rear wheel
Practically rotted through!
Can new be bought or shall I ask on the wanted s?
I know I'll need new bolts for the step and a new bush, but is there anything else ill need?
Sorry for a plea post after so long away.
 
Hey Dave
Check out eBay. I was looking for two months before I got on to fit my D2. Same problem but when I put the needle gun on it, the rot worm went into the chassis and tank support.
Have a good look underneath. I have ended up getting new chassis legs, chassis cross brace (at tow bracket), etc. I'm down £500 + now and am welding it myself.
Hope you have better luck.
Check out my comments on chassis legs for a supplier, if you get that shock.
Fingers crossed for ya, bud.
