    Changing light bulbs

    I've been surprised how much of a pain some of the discovery bulbs are, didn't struggle with the headlights though. If you want difficult - try a MK4 Golf! I had a V5 and I don't know if the problem was specific to that one as it was full of engine, but to change a headlight bulb you had to...

    Where are you all mounting your Cb's? any pics?

    Mine wouldn't fit in the pocket above visor. :( Ended up fixing it to the back of the centre console. You can reach the knobs to adjust stuff (although you can't see it without looking over your shoulder) and the mic falls nicely to hand on the centre console. Doesn't interfere with the arm...

    heated seats

    Sent mine back in the end. It looked like I was going to knacker the seats. I was going to lose too many hog rings to make the pads fit, my leathers are a bit different to the normal disco ones so I think perhaps they are differently set up in terms of hog rings. There were several rows I would...

    To update - that kit won't fit my seats (D1 ES premium seats) as the way the seat is constructed means that the pads would need several cutouts to fit round the hog rings holding down the seat cover (as the standard heated element does). I am returning mine and will just have to live without them.

    Light please - especially black cars

    It says you have a very good taste in cars :P

    Rear Bumper Lights Protection

    Good on you - they look really good. The standard ones seem to go for mega money for what they are. I say you go into mass production and undercut the competition ;)

    Light please - especially black cars

    Absolutely, 318D probably. I'm not slagging off the cars themselves - they're excellent, even with the smaller engines.

    Light please - especially black cars

    Unfortunately it's often true, BMW's mainly cut into queues at the last minute rather than sitting in the queue :P I'd love to see statistics on that!!!

    Light please - especially black cars

    Agreed, they're probably a good thing for morons who forget to turn them on anyway! This morning I was driving on the motorway in heavy rain with dipped beam and fog lights due to the spray - but a slow moving audi still pulled in front of me, very very nearly causing an accident, and then...

    Light please - especially black cars

    Totally agree here, and when it starts to get dark, you tend to look for headlights rather than a car - for instance when changing lanes on the motorway. I personally drive with my dipped beams on the vast majority of the time. This is personal choice, but my reason being that more and more...

    What kit did you buy? I have bought a Waeco one for £60 from ebay and will fit this weekend. I know roughly what I'm going to do so may be able to give some pointers on wiring it up. I'd be interested to know how you got on with putting the pads inside the seats though as that's the bit I'm not...

    heated seats

    Thanks, that's a great find. I presume I could try and use one of the heater elements to replace my broken one and run it through the standard seat heater system and see if it works. :) As it happens - I've still got to buy the heated seat buttons and plastic cover panel for mine as I bought...

    Unfortunately they don't show any for the D1 from what I can see - just wondered if you had any more part numbers. I'll drop them an email to see if they know if it is compatible.

    You are a legend! Do they apply to the D1 300tdi too?

    Would be interested to know how to change the element and where to get one - struggling to find some info.

    Disco 1 arch rub strips

    Hi all, I am looking for some of the standard wheel arch rub strips/ trims for a Discovery 1. They seem to be fitted to some models and I would like some for mine. They are fitted to the disco in the below picture. Also if anyone has any of the side rubbing strips with the silver...

    It'd be rude not to :D

    Discovery 1 production run

    I viewed a T reg one when looking for mine. I would imagine it was just not registered for a while after being built. Oh also, it was a 'Safari' - so I wonder if that was one of the last models they produced to get rid of the stock to make way for the TD5's.

    My Disco Progress - Pic Heavy!

    I hadn't seen these seats until I spotted them on eBay. I think they were only fitted to the ES premium which was produced very late on (1998 or so). But could be wrong there. The contrasting piping adds a touch of Range Rover I think ;)
