    Where to rebuild your Disco

    Hey guys, Just want some thoughts and ideas on where to rebuild my disco. It will be an extensive rebuild! Obviously a standard garage is out of the question, I can't afford one of those 'rent a mechanics garage' things because it will probably take me a good few months to finish, and now...

    Stuck Rear Door

    I did the same as above but I also pulled the door card off and opened the door by pulling various bits of what I found inside. Found it much easier to work on like that and plus you get to lube the inside of the mechanism as well. Managed to have mine open and working perfect within a couple of...

    Disco 1 or 2?

    I have a late Disco 1, V8i, 3.9 Absolutely love it! I was after the D2 but I couldn't fork out the cash for one at the time. As has been said, glad I went for the D1 it is such a surprisingly nice car to drive and plenty of power with the V8. D2's are said to have a few issues with electrics...

    Is it Legal to Carbon Fibre a Landie?!

    Cheers for the advice guys! Yes I reckon the comments RE the roof are probably correct, I know carbon fibre is AMAZINGLY strong but, let's face it, as much as I can learn online I probably wouldn't do a professional job on my first attempt at such a big panel Yeah seat belts would have to be...

    Is it Legal to Carbon Fibre a Landie?!

    Okay, Here we go, you are about to enter the luney bin! Is it legal, to create a Land Rover Discovery 1, out of fibreglass? I am not talking about the Monocoque, just the panels, and maybe the floor, and while we are at it maybe the front wheel arch assembly.... Perhaps the roof It is a...

    Front Spring/ Damper mounts

    Hi guys, Quick one, the mounts on the chassis that act as damper and spring mounts on my Disco are awful, ones even got a small hole in it! I have seen them advertised for sale that you weld onto the chassis, thing I want to know is how much of a job is this and is it reccomended? The cars...

    One light brighter than t'other

    Another quick question, and I know it sounds stoopid, but what type of wire should I use to re-earth them? I have some somewhere that is rated for fog lights (think its 15 Amp?) would this do or o I need to get the old physics books out and do some sums?!

    One light brighter than t'other

    One light brighter than t'other

    Hey guys, I have an odd issue with my headlights! Bulbs all work etc, but my passenger side headlamp is dimmer than my drivers side one to the extent that the sidelight bulb outshines it! Tried replacing both bulbs- no change! The bulb holder is falling to bits, could this be the issue...
