Thanks for all your replies. One more question. Now that I’ve decided to paint it with your advice I need to disassemble it again but at least it’s all shinny and new. What Order do I do things. 1. Wax oil internally 2. T wash 3. Prime and paint Or 1. T wash 2. Wax oil internally 3. Prime and...

Excellent website. Cheers.

Thank TB

I agree chaps. Thank you. Just needed a nudge in the right direction.

Hi all. After a mad 18 months I’m finally getting to the point of starting my rebuild from where I left off which was rolling chassis. Now my question to you party is would you paint your galv chassis. I did like it as is but I’m now changing my mind as it’s a bit in your face. What do you guys...

Just get them painted. Don’t go down the whole gloss black arch route. Next you’ll be painting the roof and bonnet black :confused:

Does anyone know if there is anyone out there who does a complete TD5 engine gasket set?

Played in the snow too. Big grin. Pulled 3 pathetic cars out of trouble. Disco 3 cars 0. :D:D:D:eek::eek:

Thought that may be the case. Oh bugger. Not looking forward to doing that one. :(

Sorry. To much bloody Guinness that night. I meant auto box pipes to cooler. One of the pipes which runs under the box is crushed slightly.

Hi. Does anyone know if the power steering pipes that go from the box to the cooler have pressure in them. One of mine is crushed and was hoping I could cut out and replace the crushed piece with rubber pipe and jubilee clips.

If I disconnect the wiring what will happen if it’s fecked. Thanks Brian.

I’m on my forth one now. Basically I’m doing a chassis swap on my defender so I still need a tow car. So I keep buying MOT failed Disco 2’s. I get them sorted and through the mot tart them up a bit and then end up selling them when someone offers me a price I can’t refuse. :D Mind you I did...

I’ve checked the maf sensor or air flow meter all clean. All seems to be running as it should. Don’t get me wrong she goes ok but just seems slow on the pulling away. Once she moving she will cruise at 80ish no bother. She just needs a bit more bottom end grunt. I will order a egr blanker...

I’m currently driving a bog standard 2003 td5 auto. Well underpowered is an understatement. I’ve seen ferrets pull away quicker. What would give me more power cheaply and easily without going down the remapping Avenue. I’ve heard different arguments over egr blanking but if there any advise from...

Changed fuel pump on the Disco 2. Peace at last. :D

Sounds good.
