Cheers for your reply! I only want to have it running when I choose (via the switch), for reversing, not as a worklight as well. I can't mount it on the roof because a roof tent's going to be residing there in the next few weeks. These lights are perfectly legal here in Australia, so...

I'm wanting to install a Narva 55w dual halogen lamp I have, on the back of my Disco and need some help n inspiration! The light in question is the model #72401 in the link below: http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/double-beam I'm wanting to mount it behind the spare tyre so that I can...

Down here in Australia, the V8 Disco's are worth peanuts and the diesels fetch premium dollar. The 200 & 300 diesels are bloody tough engines and have proven themselves in our various environments. The V8's here haven't stood up anywhere near as well, and are often clapped-out now. There...

Diesel power in manual ftw! :D

I don't have a TD5, but I had a dvd/tv/screen system in my Jeep. The profile of the air-vents above stuck out a fair way, but the screen cleared it with ease. ;) What you'll find is that the screen section will come out quite a fair bit further than you realise, and will be closer to you than...

My new rear speakers arrived today, so installed them and finished wiring up the amp. Just fired it up, tuned it all (which took ages), and holy faaaaaaaaaark!!!! It's none of this entry-level stuff, all top-of-the-range Alpine, Focal, Soundstream and Fusion kit, with hardcore cabling and...

I've slept in it once during a shocking thunder storm...was very comfortable and woke up without an ache or pain! LOL!

Personally, if anybody came near my rig with a rope, I'd tell them to bugger off and hit-up someone else for help no matter how long necessary...always carry 2 days supplies and let someone know before turning a key, so no issed. Down here, it's snatch-straps n shackles only....ropes kill or...

Thanks for the kind words! :) It's certainly a creation in the making, plenty more stuff to do be done yet, but I'm very happy with how it's progressing. I was driving along the highway to the city this morning, chilling out to some tunes while enjoying a coffee, window down, etc. Suddenly...

Thanks fellas! So it's fair to say they're a pretty good setup? Are there any other suggestions for around this price which are worthy of consideration? I just want to cover all bases before parting with the cash. :)

In a nutshell, prices for a lot of Landy parts is disgraceful here, and have decided to shop from the UK instead. I was having a look on ebay and came across this kit: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 1 SUSPENSION LIFT KIT +50mm on eBay (end time 29-May-10 10:22:45 BST) I was wondering if anybody...

Here's some update pics of the amp, cargo barrier, maglite and fire-extinguisher fitted. :D Here's a pic of the fuel tank bash-plate. I'm going to clean it up and repaint it in the next couple of days. And here's the early stages of a rear shelf and drawer setup I'm knocking up. This...

Looks like a false alarm fellas. :( I woke up this morning to find an email from the seller saying that the tyres had just sold...wtf?! Both him and his wife had confirmed in 5 emails that they were for still for sale, I had right of offer, gave me contact details and were fine for me to...

Nice Disco mate...you've got good taste in engines and colours! Hehe! Best of luck with the buildup and looking forward to seeing how it progresses. Keep up the good work! :)

Cheers Thebiglad & Lerk! I was fearing a much more involved scenario than that...very quick and painless process! :D This is the best picture I can provide of how the Disco sits atm...if any eagle-eyes can see issues please scream out okies! :D

I've just sorted that out for your benefit! Hehehe!

Cheers Lerk! Do you have any idea how far the steering stops need to be wound out (just so we can get it right)? The new suspension that's fitted was done just before I bought the Disco by the previous owner, and is a bit hard to justify replacing atm. Originally I was going to wear the...

Just wanted to say that despite being on the other side of the globe from you all n a fairly recent member to the forum, I've been amazed at how helpful many of you have been with questions I've had from the start...easily the best Landy forum I've found. :) I always do my 'searches' before...

Thanks for the quick replies fellas, greatly appreciated...keep 'em coming! :) The tyres were at a price FAR too good to go past tbh...$200 for a set of 5 near newbies in extremely good condition! These tyres average retail price is roughly $285 each here , hence why I pounced on the...

Wow this weekend has been productive! :D It started off by finally getting the amp back off my mate, and enjoyed a few beers with him as a thanks. I made up some mounting brackets for it and installed it, as well as running some of the wiring through (not yet finished). I also picked up my...
