Other what have u done on ur disco today

Got the 265/75/16 insa turbos on it today after yesterday's 2 inch lift...just need to trim the front bumper a little but it sits nice now

 

After and before pics attached

 

What did u use

 

Brought the paint for a complete respray with 2K paint, £350 all in, just all the prep work to do

 

Wet sand papers 800-1500-2000 (starting from 800 grid wet, finished 2000 grid also wet). max 1 min sanding with each carefully. after polishing by using polishing machine and polishing compound (heavy cut). Finally for UV protection, Blue Magic headlight lens sealer.

 

Headlining ...........

 

I removed the ABS unit’s shuttle valve switch to fix a botched Option B mod from the previous owner and found cracked wire insulation. The ground connection for the Option B was held on by a single wire strand due to corrosion.

 

I removed the heavier aluminum Secondary Air Injection (SAI) tubing and replaced it with 19mm (3/4") red silicone tubing and a "T" fitting. Adding this will make it sooooooooo much easier to remove and install if need be for V8 engine maintenance.
I haven't properly tested out the SAI pump and tubing yet. I will look into jumping the relay to turn the pump on and check for air leaks.

*EDIT*

I jumped relay R6 (diesel glow plugs relay) to activate the SAI pump. All works good except for the expected extreme heat under the bonnet making the hose very rubbery & pliable.

 

yesterday:
Headliner remover
Fabric taken off
Sanded down
First and second coat of paint


today:

refitted

 

I need to sort mine out. Thats a nice job...

 

Cheers mate

it’s not perfect, couple of creases when it bent whilst I was trying to refit it.

Much better than the old sagging one and better than £250 eBay job

 

A busy few days ahead getting my 200tdi ready for paint, this without doubt the worst part
Of the rebuild,

 

Why have you left the alpine windows in get them out before you paint it.

 

Looks really good that I'm thinking of doing mine in the next few weeks was the material off the bay? Also what adhesive? Thanks

 

Cheers Pal.. I use high temp spray glue, I used almost 2 tins & acoustic carpet I had some left
over from a boat job plus ive done my defender & ive still got a fair bit left.

 

New rubber are fitted and I made sure the paint work was A1 before fitting the alpine lights, but point noted
So may take them back out again before painting at the weekend,
It’s like opening pandora box the more I did the more needed doing, and you are right it’s not worth ruining a boat for a half penny of tar,

 

Cant wait to see it painted, did you not do a project thread on it ?? im sure it would have got
plenty interest. Keep the pics coming tho.

 

Trying to sort the SRS warning light.

checked under seat connections and they seem good.
Stripped down steering wheel and remove rotary clock, grabbed a second hand bargain off fleabay for £14.99 (30 day warranty)



as soon as it’s delivered will update lol

 

I literally only ever have to unplug and replug the one under the passenger seat and it goes away...
