@lynall Thanks for your advice, i did wonder about the suspension. The previous owner used to take it to portgual offroading but there are no markings to tell what they could be. You might be right. The ECU, I suppose i could make it a...

Decent tyres will get you out of most things, taller they are the more useful they are off road as they offer more ground clearance. Heavy duty susp will mean less axle flex/travel, if it hardly moved with a ton in the rear then you may already...

Hi all, Stange one but does anyone know the rating of the Throttle potentiometer for the Discovery 1 300tdi EDC on a 97 plate? This is for part number STC 4389 I have the occassional EML light appear when using the throttle when acelerating up...

@MJI Interested to see what you get ball park quoted for local work, your just up the road from me. I am looking at one in the morning that might need something similar. Ben

@Daviehilltown Nice to meet you, sorry to hear about the rust. It's hard to tell without pictures but it might be you can get someone to weld in these chassis plates or leg for you? Any mobile welder near you might fit them for you? The below...

Depends what you plan on doing. Take a look at rock sliders to protect the lower body and doors. You could also get a sump guard.

Protection from what? what sort of terrain, use etc...

More weight you add, the more protection you need.

@lynall i did wonder about that and was debating upgrading to heavy suspension kit to give it extra strength and or bigger wheels to raise the diff height. I did put 1 ton in the boot of wood and it hardly moved but I have never owned one before...

@300bhp/ton Rocks mainly, but also if it needs to be driven in water you never know what could scrape or hit the underside and cause damage. The farm land we have looks like a war zone as a utility company replaced a massive pipe. The last one...

I would recomend a steering guard.

Thanks for your reply, i was looking at rock silders but was thinking i wanted to rebuild the sills first. Some i noticed we weld on and others bolt. The sump guard is a good shout, i was struggling to find one for the D1 though, unless i make a...

Sorry for the radio silence on here i wanted to update you all quickly. I filled up the swivel and it still leaks albeit slowly, It's hard to work out how long the oil would last. It does look like the seal might have gone its trickling down the...

@robbie the greatl Thanks for the advice, i watched a video on youtube last night doing something similar. @discool its funny you mention that on one of the land rover sites i saw something similar like a CV joint gater that would work the same...

Hey all, What underside protection hardware do you use? Or anything you have custom made? I have D1 300tdi 97 EDC front and rear diff guards and adding a rear tank guard. But wondered if there was any other underside protections that would be...

it is something i am currently trying to push and this is why i also recommend the engraving. in order to have a crime you need a complainant so we would need to be able to identify who the lights belong to. if we were to raid someones house and...

sorry to hear this. I am a police officer in Wakefield and as i run a Farmwatch and also cover wildlife crime i am usually in charge of any Land rover related thefts. I can confirm that these headlights are very regularly stolen, one couple I...
