    Disco 2 v8 metropolis

    Love this disco. I'm hoping to get a D2 V8 on LPG as my 'daily' after having got rid of my previous car (Keep my 300 tdi for the weekends of course!). One of the only cars that I really like the black on black combo too. Subscribed to track progress :)

    My Discovery 1 Progress

    Yarwell So on Sunday, we went to Yarwell as planned. There's a video below if you don't want to read my ramblings. First time either me or my Dad have done this sort of thing. I was quite worried about the capability of my Discovery which is totally unmodified for off road use with road tyres...

    I couldn't split them either, so painted the outside ;)

    My Discovery 1 Progress

    Yeah I bought the clear indicators off eBay then painted the edge by masking off the main bit of the light and just painting round. There is a natural 'edge' all around it (you'll see what I mean. I've left the orange indicator bulbs in there too rather than 'chrome' bulbs as it still leaves a...

    Rattling heat shield?

    That's interesting - I'll have a look for that. :) thanks

    Rattling heat shield?

    Thanks both. I've replaced the rear box and the hangers but the noise didn't alter. I'm pretty sure it's higher up than the cat. I had it on ramps in the drive which is as high as I can get it (so wheels are about 8 inches off the floor) It's got to be somewhere behind the engine but access is...

    Rattling heat shield?

    Hi all, There's a metallic rattle coming from somewhere deep down at the back of the engine bay in my mum's 05 Freelander TD4 manual. It happens at about 2000 revs particularly when cold. I've been under it but couldn't get near enough to what is making the noise. It sounds like a heat shield...

    Yes i stuck them to the surrounds with No More Nails 'Instant' then clipped loads of clothes pegs round the surrounds to ensure it stuck. This is a good guide https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/how-to-replacement-of-gear-stick-gaiters.184393/ Just don't get confused and put the gear knob...

    Thanks for the nice comments all. Glad someone else has found a use for this. Have you got it yet? If so, you happy with it? Trim & Carpet I've done a little more work on the interior. Decided that the remaining bits of grey trim (boot door card, seat boxes etc) should go black. I also...

    My Discovery 1 Progress

    Hi all, A few more updates. With regards to reliability, i've had a couple of issues lately - the first being a CV joint disintegrating when pulling out of a junction. It was a horrible sound and lost all drive. Annoyingly, i had only replaced these a year previous - i put this down to cheap...

    My Discovery 1 Progress

    Hi all, I have decided to start a thread up in this section. I did have one in the Discovery section but wasn't very good at keeping it up to date - so the first post will be copied over from my old thread. All future posts will be my more recent activity :) Copied from my old thread...

    Disco 1 Power steering intermittent?

    Thanks for the reply - sorry I'm a bit delayed but I wanted to wait until I'd had a look. Just tried taking the top off the reservoir and turning the wheel from lock to lock very slowly - after a couple of turns, it began to become dodgy. From full lock right, slowly turning back towards left...

    Disco 1 Power steering intermittent?

    Hi guys, I've noticed a problem with the power steering my Discovery TDI. Sometimes, when manoeuvring at low speed, the power steering assistance seems to abruptly stop which means you can hardly turn the wheel (I didn't drive before power steering so feel free to call me 'soft' etc!) Also, I...

    wiper blades

    Goodo, they are great. I put them on my mum's this week and they're absolute night and day compared to the old ones. No squeaking or 'thump' when they reach the top of their sweep like the old ones.
