Ok thanks would I overlap the metal overc the holes or cut it so it sits in? If I were to rivet the ally plate in, would I rivet through the pan that isn't rot? Still need ideas regarding n/s rear arch wall? Regards

Not that bad really, i'd say 90% of it looks brand new still, bascially there's 2 or 3 2cm x 2cm square holes, towards the back end, and then it's just the walls behind the arches which is about 1 ft long and 3 inches high if that makes sense Cheers mate

As it happens, I did. Just to clarify, I meant buy a boot pan and weld that, sorry, I should have stated the obvious

Thanks David, Yeah i was thinking i'll probably get it welded. Any idea on how much it would cost for a welder to do it?

'lo all. Is it possible to mig weld a checkered sheet onto the boot pan when it comes to replacing due to rot? rather than buying the £90 replacement as i have this metal in the shed. Also whats the best way of welding the rear arches on the side wall just before the actual arch? only the...

Wheel bearing

Thanks chap worked a treat much appreciated.

tbh I dont like the shape of bobtails but that is ####ing awesome, a lot of hard work and dedication gone into this! nice man

I'd give a miss personally because when u do decide to sell it people will want service history etc. Plus if you get a standard disco you can do it up yourself :)

Eveninggggggggggggg! Just wondered if anyone could do me a real big favour that has a 300tdi? :D Basically, I'm installing a new High preasure steering hose tomorrow and can't remember which hole it goes into on the end closest to the drivers side as you're looking at the bonnet, so wondered...

someone on here once said and i quote "Argyll was a limited addition. 600 were made from June 1997 based on the S model but with dished alloy wheels in either Oxford Blue or Woodcote Green colour plus some badges and that's about it. The Argyll still had the usual disco options list."

welcome. Get an argyll ;)

I can confirm (used to work for LR) that the codes, depending on the year of course, laterly the '04, were printed on the floor pan of the passenger side seat. The only downfall is that you do infact need to remove the sit and lift the carpet up.

Take the airbag out also, reduces weight so you can go faster thus shorthen the front end more.

ah really? talk about unlucky. must be cause it's a green car LOL

take the engine out and but a battery and motor there

Thanks i'll check it tomorrow! only just fixed the diff lock today haha

ok mate thanks what am i checking for, make sure theirs oil in there or colour change anything like that?

Evening folks! Power steering stopped working earlier, did 3 point turn on mud in the farm and then the steering got REALLY heavy, now it doesn't work at all. I don't know an awful lot about mechanics etc so would i be best getting a garage to fit the new pump assuming it's the pump thats gone...

Cheers mate i went and got a whole new assembely from a land rover breakers near to me. Now my power steerings fked lol
