Cheers for replies. I'm always happy to get stuck in and give anything ago (like when I bought a MIG and got stuck in welding new boot floor in for first) only problem I have is NO GARAGE :( just a shared parking area so I don't know if my neighbours would appreciate a passive colour...

Hi all. Does anyone know the rough cost of a total colour change re-spray of a disco 1??

Ok. So took out the stepper motor. was very carbed up. Cleaned all up and put back Took out my plugs (one at a time of course). All extremely carbed up Although badly blackened inside they actually look new ish. Cleaned all the carbon off the plugs using fine wet n dry. And put back...

Ok. I've just youtubed it and found it. At the back of the plenum chamber. Tomorrow I'm getting dirty with my stepper motor. I'll let you all know how it goes.

A few people have mentioned stepper motor. Where can I find it/what's it look like I'll clean it out tomorrow.

Out of interest what grade plugs would you recommend. I'll take them out and have a look at what it's got tomorrow.

To be honest it's a bit of a challenge. I got the disco off a mate who didn't have an ounce of mechanical knowledge. He had LPG installed about a year ago and altho he didn't do many miles once he got the lpg he never used petrol. Ironically it runs totally perfect on lpg but when you switch to...

Cheers guys for the replies. Once it stops raining one day I'll get in there and sort it all out. My engine idles perfectly when warm (30secs after startup) But the first 30 secs after startup is a constant battle to keep it from dying. I have to bounce the throttle pedal to keep it from...

So having a look around my new discos engine bay. (1995 3.9 v8i) Found this pipe that has come away from somewhere. But have no idea where??? And one end goes to this rubber bellow on throttle So I followed it back to this junction point Is this bellow the auto choke. Could this...

Hamster wheel bearings need replacing

Mines so wet inside the other morning I had to scrap the ice off both sides of my glass before I could move.

Hi discodad. Did you source some pics? I'm still very undecided what to do. What I do know is I hate the two tone standard wheels I have. I just don't like the black inner with chrome ring. Thinking of going all black with the tyre brand letters painted white.

I think I might have set the idle high to prevent it cutting out a few weeks ago. (Idle adjust where cable meets carb) I'll set they back down. But What else can I check to see why my disco is hunting on startup??

Gave it a go today. Stepper motor doesn't seam to affect it. Turned on lights, fans heaters A/C etc. no affect. Have noticed though the middle silencer on exhaust has a hole in the side. Could this cause it? It still starts up first time no problems. As soon as it fires the Revs shoot up...

Hi. I'm new here and new to landys. I'm in colchester. And just got myself a 1996 disco 3.9 V8i

So I discovered the middle silencer box on my exhaust has a hole and is blowing out the side. NOW..... We all love the sound of a V8 grumble. So do I buy and new exhaust OR do I cut out middle section have a straight through to rear box and enjoy the sounds of other people's windows smashing...

What do you all think??

I'd tell him where he can insert his box sections. I did this myself recently. (No previous welding experience) New Boot floor £40 - eBay New sealy mig welder £100 - eBay Sheet steel sheet off-cuts £20 approx from local fabrications yard Angle grinder £20 - aldi 6 angle grinder cutting...

Yeah my mate that I got the disco off said it had a leaking alpine roof seal a few years ago and because he didn't have a dry garage (only a drive) all the sound proofing sponge under carpet stayed soaked right until the day I ripped it out so the boot floor stayed damp for about 2 years. It was...

Pillars are mint as is the rest of the body and the chassis. It has been wax oiled from new every year so it's mint condition only the classic boot floor rust and the front inner arches have small amount of rust. So the boot floor is getting replaced and the wheel arches will be patches then...
