Max, I think you have the wrong John :(:( You are most welcome to purchase my Discovery 1 but I think it may cost a lot to ship to Ireland from Australia :):) Cheers John Wilson

Lerk, There you go. :D:DI have edited my profile for you.:D:D Cheers John W.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Beast o bodmin, I have sent you a private message. Cheers John W.

Fellows, The door handle on mine has broken in half :mad::mad: Would anyone out there be able to put me onto a replacement drivers side outer door handle for my Disco 1 that I don't have to take a second mortgage out on my house to pay for it?:eek::eek: Take out is fine. Thanks in advance Cheers...

landyadam, Could I add further to the good advice that you have received. Prior to adjusting the drag link, make sure the your steering wheel is indeed aligned to the centre position of the steering box. This is easily done on a disco as the steering box drop arm has an aligning slot cast into...

Fellows, My 300TDI now has 330,000kms on it. To get to this mileage, I dare not mention how many parts I have replaced on it in and how many mechanical problems I have dealt with in the last few years. I reckon that I must have got a lemon. This time I am about to replace a seized PAS pump. In...

ATB Big red, There are numerous things to look out for but I reckon the most important check you can do is find out when the timing belt was last changed!!! If you can't get an honest answer from the vendor, plan to replace it ASAP (if you purchase the vehicle). I am speaking from experience...

BTW, Paddocks have got back to me. Phew! 162 pounds all up including freight to Oz. I think thats ok for a new PAS pump, serpentine belt, steering box overhaul kit and reservoir to PAS pump suction hose. Cheers JW

Fellows, Lat night my wife spotted a big pool of oil under the disco when she got home from town. Popped the bonnet to find the serpentine belt nearly shredded and the PAS pump pulley sitting 10mm proud. Anyway I popped the serpentine belt off and tried to spin the pump - Seized solid:(. To make...

Fellows, I am a disco owner but I thought that it would be worth posting a few photos for interests sake of a Defender tray back that I helped modify/build three years ago. I believe that the customer was going to use it for Rock crawling. Some of the features/accessories fitted were; 4.6litre...

Disco Paul, Thanks for clarifying that point. Yes I wholeheartedly agree that full weld passes are indeed necessary for chassis components however I was under the impression that Lundrover was focussed on patching panels. That is an entirely different ball game on what welding technique to...

Lundrover, Further to the constructive comments by other forum members. Here are some other thoughts to consider. 1. Always check what lies behind the proposed patch panel ie will it burn!!!!! Is there a fuel line or electrical wiring looms. 2. Prepare the joints to ensure that you are welding...
