    Disco 1 Front Door Lock barrel removal

    Is the C-Clip the part of the barrel that the right arrow is touching - I thought it was part of the barrel, but might have corroded over time to look like part of the barrel, as I couldn't see any other clip????

    Disco 1 Glutton for Punishment - got myself another 300 tdi......

    I will be after all of the rear interior at some point, rear seats, middle seat belts, boot side interiors etc, but that is a while away, but let me know what you have ;) front seats are shot, but will be looking at bucket seats to replace them.

    Disco 1 Glutton for Punishment - got myself another 300 tdi......

    Maybe a glutton for punishment, but have bought another 300 tdi!! I thought I would get a manual version, so I can start to teach my son how to drive – well he is coming up to 10 years old! Found a 1995 ES 300 Tdi manual at a farm. Structure and chassis is great, engine and gearbox spot on -...

    Disco 1 Removal of Rear Door / Tailgate - any tips???

    well I don't have an engine crane, JCB, for lift or other kind of loader - hoping I will be able to use ratchet straps from the beams of the garage to help with the weight..... I guess its just a case of undoing the bolts on the hinges and the one on the bottom for the 'arm'. Is there is a...

    Disco 1 Removal of Rear Door / Tailgate - any tips???

    I have to change over the rear door on a 1995 Disco 300 tdi I have just bought for my son. Any tips or tricks to do this, as the door I have just bought is bloody heavy to say the least!! No wonder the Disco's are bloody slow when the boot door weighs an absolute tonne :rolleyes:

    WINCH 500 AMP SOLENOID 12V HEAVY DUTY UPGRADE - ALBRIGHT EQUIVALENT ETC

    I have up for grabs a heavy duty 12v 500 amp winch solenoid. Has M8 Input Output terminals. I got 2 of these for my winch setup (bought 1 for a spare just in case i cocked up!) as I have used this as a heavy duty relay to switch the power of my winch instead of having a cut off switch, so my...

    Please advise on disco 1 wheels

    any minus offset with those sized tyres I would assume that flexi arches will be required for the tyres protruding and for room to fit them.

    Disco 1 how to bolt roof rack

    I have built a few expedition racks and have bolted them onto the rail - 4 each side, and not found any issue with them moving. I just used some 90 degree angle to bolt onto the rack. Plenty of examples on the web.... Might be easier than welding to the roof?

    Disco 2 Facelift light - removal of plastic light lens

    From memory there are 2 Philips screws that need removing, then I just used a paint stripper gun to warm up the glue to peal off the plastic lense. Other people have put them in the oven to warm them up, but cannot image my better half would appreciate seeing a couple of headlights in the...

    Disco 2 Facelift light - removal of plastic light lens

    I have had mine off, resealed, off, resealed with different sealer and still got condensation - my advice just take them off the disco, remove the rear caps and leave in the airing cupboard or something similar over night and that will dry them out.

    Disco 1 Insurance ......grrrrr

    I am with one of our sponsors, Adrian Flux, and they have been great over the years - very competitive on our 3 cars, I think the Disco policy is only £135.00 per annum, and they have mirrored my no claims on my other policies too, like the multi car policies I suppose.
