Wait, figured it out, move the solenoid pack to the engine bay and mount the winch in front of radiator on a plate welded onto the steering guard, probably need to trim some bumper away but should work out pretty tidy, any thoughts?

Hi, been on here a year or so now with my old disco, love the site, i couldn't count how many times its helped me out and got me out of trouble, hopefully one of you nice chaps can help me again! I've been looking for a winch for a while now preferably 2nd hand and good rather than cheap...

Looks about as mine was ( front inner wings, kick panels, headlight boxes, below battery, footwell, front outrigger, front boot floor, around boot floor and arches join, boot floor and boot sides joint (same as your pic, rear crossmember(shell and chassis) and rear body mounts) its all fairly...

I watched a few episodes on discovery not that long ago, it's the reason I started to think about doing it to my discovery, however I wouldnt have the money to do an extensive rebuild like mark did. And mine would be basically standard discovery underneath not all competition stuff like mark...

Really love how 100s look, but definitely will make mine with a longer overhang if not a full 110 rear overhang. Doric 4x4 is the one which made me decide I wanted to build one. Even figured out the final looks. Series III 109 van tub, doors, windscreen, wings and grill, defender bonnet (stage...

How does everyone else hybrid them then? Don't they cut a section from the front of the tub? How would it not fit over the axle then?

100 inch suits me perfectly, I'll not be moving the axles or the chassis main structure. Ideally I'd like to lose the 4 inches between the wheel bases of a 110 tub but keep the longer overhang, which would let me keep the entire disco chassis intact and just add on a 2nd rear crossmember

I don't mind if I end up on a Q plate and need an IVA it will just postpone doing it till the disco shell it totally gone and give the whole thing a small overhaul If the front 1/2 was good I would use the longranger cab kit and make a drop side body or a 130 HCPU body on the back but the...

Hi, I've got a 300TDI disco that's mechanically perfect-ish and the chassis is sound, I've looked into hybriding it at some point in the probably distant future but IVA puts me off. Asked the DVLNI (I'm in NI) about it and it would need IVAed if I modified the chassis, but what if I didn't...

Facet inline pumps and a fuel pressure regulator is the standard job on a modified mk1 or 2 escort mate they don't have a place to fit one in the tank so an external one is needed when modified or engine conversion, hope this helps

Ive been inspired by your roof rack to make my own but im just curious, how do you intend to mount it onto the land rover? Ive been looking for a pre-made gutter mount but cant find any and I havent seen any designs that people have home made that I think are very clever. By the way fantastic...

...Didnt think they were to bad mate, stay well clear of modern cars, makes a discovery seam like the easiest vehicle on the planet to work on!!!!

Just a quick question for those of you who have got a intercooler upgrade, been looking at the Alisport/ Allards/ Forge motorsport front mounted full size intercoolers for a 300TDI Was wondering if they make the disco cruise easier at motorway speeds, I mean she has no problem on motorways but...

Problem solved! Tappets were miles out holding the valves open, after resetting, 1/2 a revolution and she was running perfectly again :) Thanks for all your help guys

Glow plugs in confident are working without fault, I'm really hoping it has to be tappets but I'm a bit worried that she's bent a pushrod or a valve now :( Reason for all this heartache is, could never keep more than a dribble of water in the header tank so I gave up trying, first sign of...

I pulled the glow plugs out and connected them to a battery and checked they get electric with a multimeter, usually after she has been running for 2 minutes she starts instantly but even after running for 10 minutes today she needed glow plugs and time to start again Pump hasn't been touched...

Well, moved the disco to the workshop today, took about 5 minutes of winding and had to jump the battery to get her to start, cracked all injectors and diesel was flying out so no shortage of diesel and pulled out the glow plugs and checked them again, perfect, so next step is setting the...

Ill have a go at setting the valve clearances probably tomorrrow then see if that helps any, thanks

didnt check valve clearances, although the head was lightly skimmed- why the perfect running when warm though if theyre out it should be all the time shouldnt it? I was thinking about the leak off lines could be leaking, someones changed them in the past but im not really impressed with their...

Hi, Im hoping someone can help me, Ive got a 97 300TDI, always started no problem, would wind for about 10 seconds but would always start but now... a few weeks ago the head gasket went, its been replaced and now the disco winds over and fires on two cylinders for upto a minute before she will...
