Hi Guys, thanks for the replies, but I gave up on the Disco in the end and part ex'd it!

Anyone anywhere near me got a nanocom to read some faults for me? (Three amigos mainly!) I’m based in Bulkington, happy to travel a bit and of course beer tokens on offer Cheers

I'll give them a look when I get to the point where I want it to stop doing the funky chicken whilst I'm driving down the road!

Already got a full light set on order so all good

Ah galv doors are the holy grail. Mine are rusted to buggery

Wheels were a recent change, which I ummed and ahhed about but ultimately pleased with them, and off-road they are pretty solid! Mechanicals are to be tackled next week, along with a few other tweaks and then she’ll be rolling much more!

So heres my 1981 S3 109. Theres a dent and scrape on pretty much every panel, but its very much a rolling restoration... I've only really been using it sporadically as I have a D2 TD5 as a daily. Have had it a few years, not done much to it, apart from new wheels and tyres, defender drivers...

I'm Jules, Live in the midlands, currently have a Series 3 109 and a Discovery 2 TD5
