Going to be removed from my Discovery 1 3.9 V8 in the next couple of days. In good used condition as I dont think the Disco ever saw mud or lanes. Here they are on the Disco. Will take more photos once removed. PRICE: £60

Just taken off my 1998 Discovery 1 3.9 V8 I have a set of 4 Land Rover alloy wheels with tyres on. The wheels are in pretty reasonable condition I would say. Tyres are a mixed bunch of road tyres. Will confirm the brands and tread depths once the snow stops and I can take some time to check each...

Well with the help of this old thread: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/discovery-es-electric-seat-problem-54807.html and the advice on it from "ninjadingle" (post 3), I have now got a working passenger seat switch. I first did a check on the motors by taking both switches out of the centre...

Got myself a 6 lamp light bar and fitted it today. Here are the results. I think it looks much better with this on.

Cheers for bobbing round today craigyb, was good to meet someone from here. Will try put it in the different ratios and in to diff lock just to give it a little run in each, tomorrow. Ended up spending the rest of today fitting that light bar and wiring it all up. Just had a bit of a problem...

Been looking for a replacement seat switch but having no joy finding one. Other than ebay does anybody have any recommendations of where you can get parts like this? The other alternative is to do a seat swap. What seats can you use that are a direct swap over? Just dont want to lose the heated...

Yeah that would be great. Will send you a PM with my details :cool:

Not had much more of a play with it to be honest. Am at home today though so going to spend a bit of time looking the car over in general as there are a few things that need doing on it I suppose.

Just in Stanley. You?

Just found another quirk of my Disco 1 that I just bought; It is the ES model with electric heated front seats and the passenger seat will not move backwards. It goes forwards but not backwards......... so before long when people try move it, it will be stuck in the furthest forward position...

It's stiff but it will go in. Will have a search for the threads though on freeing it up to see if it will get a bit better. Thanks. Definitely has been a Chelsea tractor though as it is totally standard, no big wheels, steel bumpers, battle scars etc. Just cant decide though now whether to...

I've picked up a Disco Haynes manual but not an original LR manual. Perhaps I should keep an eye out for one. What people have said so far makes sense though. I think what was making me get more confused / concerned was the fact that I was finding it so difficult to change when stood...

Did a quick check on the radiator tonight to see if it is getting warm or not (re the interior heater not warming right up). Started the car up and kept feeling the top radiator hose to see if it warmed up and it did. So I have ordered a new thermostat as they are only cheap, and will swap that...

Am totally new to Land Rovers and 4x4's in general and am a little confused about the diff box and how to use it properly. I think I am right in saying the "L" selection is for very steep hills and sand, where you are at low speed. And "H" selection is for added grip but at higher speeds so...

Why would someone chop it off? Install a second battery perhaps?

Here is a picture of what I mean about the airbox:

Will try the thermostat test you mention tomorrow once I have been out for a run in it. Thanks for the tip. What I paid for it? I paid £xxxx for it which I think for the condition and low mileage is a very good price...... but don't tell everyone ;) What do you think? Not sure about the...

I'm hoping to :D Just thought I would see if anyone on here has any that they wanted rid of as a first point of call.

Just picked up my 3.9 V8 Disco 1 but want / need some bits for it: Roof rack - preferably a large front to back one Rear door ladder Wheels and tyres - preferably modular wheels with tyres that are not 100% road focused Light bar Bull bars or maybe heavy duty bumpers Steering & diff...

Now you've got me worried. But it runs and drives really well. Any other tell-tale signs I could look for to see if its the head?
