    Hello welshspringer Last few days I've done the minor bits. So all central locking works. Rear windows fixed today thanks to Brian 47 pointing me the right way. Rear door lifted. Sunroofs reseated. Still front windows to do when the regulators turn up. But all small jobs. She is driving...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Rebent the front window regulators will have to last until new ones get delivered. Sorted central locking out. Pulled the rear door out so she opens and closes easier. Stumped by the rear windows refusing to budge though. Will have to wait until next weekend

    Tbh I never bothered asking. He said something about rear but I had switched off by then lol. All in one price only extra I've paid for is 2 new rear calipers and a second hand set of alloys and tyres. So I can't complain

    Cheers for that Disco. I'm having to save some more pennies either way so have borrowed one for now to "play" with. My car still isn't back *sob* Getting slightly miffed now. Thankfully it was on an agreed price so I'm glad in that respect. Cheers for the number Andy I'll keep that in the...

    So I've loitered. I've asked. I've got help. I've joined in. And now I've come over this side to introduce myself.!! I'm over where the sheep are washed daily and the sun is a rare site and everyone is a butt... I took a wrong turn on the m4 and haven't gone back. I've driven lots of landy's...

    I've looked at welders sealey mighty mig 150? Or Clarke 135 turbo both seem to be ample for learning and fixing. Still trying to run comparisons on the interweb. Mot she didn't make it. Has been postponed till either late today or early Wednesday. Either way I'm itching to get her back so I...

    So 14 days later and its time for the MOT *gulp*. Basic mechanics were done before she was sent off to rambo for him to weld her up. So shall we take bets on how many failures she will get in the morning? My welding hmmmm well needless to say I'm glad I didn't attempt the car!!!. It turns...

    I would like to say a big thank you to both Disco1BFG and Brian47. Both have given me not only inspiration to get off my butt and to get this on the road, some good tips on panels, rust treatments and pointers but also making me feel welcome on here. Thomo I called up Rambo and he came down...

    Unwary I maybe. Time I can find, I have the luxury of a drive and worst case 40 acres of prime Pembrokeshire farmland if needed to spread the disco across. A spare vehicle I also have. Welding skills is what I lack. I have a mig welder enroute and should be with me tomorrow. So training starts...

    welders south wales

    That's my line of thinking. I've had cars of all ages. And always come back to pre 2000 models. Engines easy to work on you don't need to buy expensive software to find out the points aren't set. Would I buy a new disco? No I've worked for people that have new discos and the outlay initially...
