As someone said - it depends if you're after the look, or functionality. Having done some night time greenlaning, I found the standard bulbs were very poor. And with H3, when you click full beam on, the dipped beam switches off so you don't have much light right infront of you. On saturday...

cheers. I'll take a look. Might save some time if it works.

Hi all, gonna fix some driving lamps to my disco at the weekend and I have a relay and fitting kit coming for the lights I've bought (non landrover). However, behind each light there's a socket on the end of a loom. I was wondering if this could be the original loom fitted to the car for...

Well enjoy it :) There are a lot of people who know a lot more than me on here. I'm just finishing off prepping my Disco for offroading. But I'd say, spend the money initially on the things you really need before going for the "look". However, the "look" is of course important too :) If you...

To be fair, I love old Fords and probably would say the same thing over a decent MK1 Escort. But that's because I love old Fords. These people don't appear to have a thing for Landies. I mean - the first question I'd ask, is "looks nice, but how's the boot floor?" :D Like I said, I guess...

Hmmm. So should I get an extra alarm fitted? It's got factory alarm and immobiliser. But would extra kit help? No point breaking in for the keys - one set are at my house, the spare set are in a safe. It's in an awkward position on the drive and at night there are two other cars parked in...

Well you can't tell these days. That's the problem. The only time someone was noticeably in a car was the first time. Didn't get the full reg, and he was obviously gypsy and my mum reported that to the police. The others weren't in a car. And this one today wasn't gypsy - looked smart...

Need some reassurance here guys. How often do you get asked if your disco is for sale? A few months back, the "travellers" were in town and some strange scruffy oik came and "suggested" that my parent's drive (where I keep the disco) needed doing. Then asked if the disco was for sale then...

They are hot mate! Running normally, my temp gauge is just under half way up. However, if you open the bonnet after it's been running a while, you will burn your face easily if you poke your head in to far :D Might be a combination of the engine and the exhaust manifolds too which get very...

Thanks Matt, I'll take a look. I've heard these guards are pretty good because they allow you to slide over stuff rather than just protect the front of the diff and they're quite good value.

I've fitted a normal steering guard for the front steering components. I'm talking about the track rod behind the diff. Apparently QT have a guard which goes under the diff (to slide on) and then around the track rod. The rear one is a wrap around which also protects the end of the drive...

Hi all, I'm looking at getting the QT front diff guard and rear diff rock slider for my Disco. Has anyone fitted these before? I think the front is fairly straight forward - I think one end the damper bolts onto the guard instead of its current mounting. However, there are two types...

Thanks for your ideas. Someone suggested a steam cleaner - would that work?

the catching fire bit was the bit than concerned me actually... can hardened waxoyl catch fire?

Morning all, My disco has a larger hole than it should in the top of the rear wheel arch - directly below the pillar. (Pulled out the rubber bung which is there and now it's too small to put back!!) Anyway, I carried out a sort of Heath Robinson temporary fix to prevent water going up there...
