Isnt that the resistor for the heater fan?

I like that! Simon

Thats what i was hoping for, a different looking disco that i have built myself. I have been giving the disco a good staring at out the window wondering how i would like it to look and a thought just struck me. Is the roof bolted and bonded to the car or is it welded in?? simon

Does anybody know what the width of a hi-cap tub actually is? I believe they are a couple of inches wider than a 110 tub which is 63" wide. The disco rear is 67" wide i think from my dodgy measurements in the dark so i would possibly need to widen the tub by a couple of inches to make things...

I had a similar problem on mine. It sounded like i had a canary under the bonnet. I replaced the bearing in the tensioner (easy job), tried the penny trick, then the misses took it out and the alternator siezed 50 odd miles away from home. So have a look at that. I was not popular that day...

Ah, i meant to put into the original post that its for the challenge. I also have a discovery 2 as the main drive, a series 3 diesel and a 110 FFR. Simon

I have been thinking about what to do with my 5 door disco 1 which i have sitting on the drive. I rebuilt the engine a while back but i have not refitted it due to a house move, finding the inner wings really need replacing and it could really do with the gearbox or transfer box looking at as it...

Have a few radhaz kits on my watch list now.. The regulator turned up for my new bottle of gas (old one got broken in the house move) so now should be all set. Also got a snap-on 160A mig welder to replace the old clark that died a few years back. So going to have a practice on some scrap to...

We had a pinkie as our wedding car, with all the de-activated fitted. Thats was really interesting and the looks we got driving down the high steet was ace... Do it. Simon

Wow. Thats an impressive build. Like the rad haz kit and may order one for ours, however i dont think ours ever had one!. Also really liked like the look of the wheels and tyres. Mmmm. Its got me thinking, However i still have to fix the chassis on mine... Thats the first job.. However we did...

Bulkhead had turned up and it needs a few repairs but nothing like the one thats on it. Unfortunatly the windscreen that came with it was cracked in transit. It would of been handy to have but not important, the frames is ok so that will probably go back on ebay at some point. We have decided to...

Ahh i see. Thanks for that. Thats good to know. Simon

Can anybody tell what the lamp holder under the chassis next to the fuel tank on the drivers side is for?? I will try and upload a pic. Simon

Thats what we are inclined to do now. Had a further poke around and found some more rotten bits on the chassis so the the rear tub has to come off to fix properly. Regards. Simon

Hi guys. Well we have had the FFR for about a year and have finally decided to do something with it. It needs a new rear crossmember, bulkhead outrigger on the drivers side and a serious repairs to the bulkhead. We had already bought some repair panels for the bulkhead but a secondhand one was...
