    Welding question!!

    This isn't a for sale thread either just a question. I need both sills doing on my discovery 300 tdi so my question is, is it actually worth doing I ask as I'm looking to upgrade in the next year or so.

    corroded centre body mounts

    Do you know what is involved with removing the old ones as a mate of mine is doing it, or do you know where I can look to see what's involved?

    corroded centre body mounts

    Afternoon all a quick question for you. My disco had a advisory for corroded centre body mounts. im just wondering can these be repaired and how easy is it to do, or is it easier to just get new mounts stuck on. Im not fussed on how long it takes but which one will be better in the long run...

    300tdi 'engine breather pipe'?

    Is this a part that is prone to wear as I have a slight seapage on my Landy which is the same year as yours. Can't really see where it's coming from on mine as its all the way down the side.

    How often does your “luxury car” break down?

    I've had mine a week and nothing yet (fingers crossed). We all know it will happen at some point it really is just a matter of time.

    What is it called.

    Sorry it's a disco 300tdi in the rear door it's attached to the door lock mechanism I think it is a electrical spring switch for the central locking. I'll try and get a picture up at some point.

    What is it called.

    I'm trying to find out what a part is called I just don't know the proper name. It is the electric spring thing at the bottom rhs of the rear door. Any help greatly appreciated. It's black about 3 inches big and has a electrical connection at the bottom I hope you will know what it is thanks.

    My first!

    Well I would say its in good condition unlike some that need the boots and sills doing all these have been done and the other things are just a few fuses or switches so relatively easy to fix. I have all the welding equipment at work so no need to buy it and professionals to do it when I fudge...

    Cat removal question

    I have just bought a 300tdi and want to get a decat pipe and egr blanking plug. My question is does it get tested on emissions on the MOT and does it still pass with a decat pipe on. How much difference does a blanking plate make. Thanks Danny

    To Spain and back. . .

    If you are confident that it's been serviced properly and checked all the oils and are happy I don't see why not. I didn't go to Spain but in a day I drove from Portsmouth to Whitby bay in the north east and back in the same day. It was 700 mile in my brothers 96 disco and it was perfect take it...
