@korthaldisco2 I do not know the Disco, but I have a method to convert RHD headlights to LHD at no cost. PM me with an email address and I will send you a how to. I'm pretty sure it will work for the Disco, same vintage more or less as the P38.

I contacted Rob at Auto Essentiel to see if he can supply something that will get me through the contrôlé tecnique.

Quite, as I mentioned him without taggin him further upthread he may read the whole thing and get interested!! I am now very interested in this Zenon, or Xenon or HID thing so will search for pics to see what the flip they look like!

Just as a note. Our 2011 RR has a little lever to allow us to drive on the other side of the road we have the Zenon or HID or whatever they are called. The lever in our case (LHD car) doesnt actually change them to to RHD lights it justs removes...

My stake for today is defrorsting as we speak. Don't fink W will be eating much today. :(:( Still we had two nice lunches out two days running.

Had prawns fer tea last nite. Wassa bit risky as eye dun't normally do sea food unless its got bread crums onnit. Keep seeing them in sainsberrys so got some. Web said yer can't cook from frozen. Defrost int fridge over nite. Cook int microwave...

So naffin hot here I have decided to keep all doors and windows shut until it cools down. W is in bed as her stomach problem is playing her up today. Nothing to do with the meal as far as we can see, more to do with the far distant remnant they...

Always worth a look again, the damage could have been done after you swapped it, or to one of the others. The bloke who welded mine up and had to take the tank out, obvs, managed somehow to damage the tank cos when I got it back there was white...

By "bumping" do you mean a start caused by pushing or towing it? Which is what most people mean by that, or do you mean a "jump start" i.e. leads from another battery, preferably connected to a car that is running? I think I am right in saying...

Nice un cool smornin. Gentle breeze. No rain int forcast this week. Tis a shame. We need some. Squirrels av bin chasing each uvva. They dun't like each uvva entering me nut feeding area despite there being enuff for all to feed.

Good, we can all rest easy, until the next time!;)

Eye servyved me track dee

Morning All. :D Monsters are still asleep. :) Got the paper. It has gone much cooler and is overcast. :( Have a great day! :D

Eye is wored out. Nite.

Reminds me of the bloke who bought a big engined bike despite being rather skint. He was showing it off to his mates when one of thm asked him "How many does it do to the gallon?" He said, "Dunno, never had a full gallon in it." 🤣 🤣 Having...

I once saw a D9 more enormouser than that.

I'm beginning to wonder, as it started after you had the chassis work done, whether one or more of the fuel pipes has developed a tiny crack or something. There is a known place where one or more rub on chassis rails, outa sight.

You've been there a long time. We only come over here 6 months a year and that is April to October. But when we used to come over in the winter the village was closed to traffic twice. So that is since 2004. We rely on neighbours to send us...

The reason i got the disco is even with snow tyres 6" of fresh snow and you cant get up the hill to our house. Il probably stick with the At3s and just get chains.

That dropped overnight last winter. In the last 20 years had once over 2m in the garden

you need snow tyres by law or to carry chains or socks from 1/11 unti 31/3..

My first boat was a 17ft fletcher with a 235hp Johnson, bucket seats an a foot throttle, I ran out of fuel first time out & a nice lad offered me a gallon of fuel to get back up the loch, I said that wont get me back & showed him the boat his...

And you! Best of luck in your search!

Thanks for the help ! Goodnight

I have them, or similar, on one of my Disco 1s they are OK, my Disco 2 has Goodyear All terrains, I think. But I thought you had to drive around on studded or winter tyres where you live?

You are dead right, which is why it is a job best done in a warm dry spell, although you can speed things up by using hairdryers, hot air guns,infra-red heaters if you have a garage, which I don't, well not tall enough to take a Disco!

Il have a read thanks ! The one thing that stands out to me is doing a half arsed job and trapping moisture between a coating and metal. Thats what im worried about. Think you are preserving it but actually speeding up the rot.

Just one last question as I really must lock up the chicken coop and get to bed, what tyres do you run on in the winter?

Wow!! closest to that I have known is a house I lived in in Bath, where ground floor at the front was the first floor at the back and the garden was so steep, if it rained you slid down it. So pretty cool at night then!

18 outside 27 inside on the 2nd floor of 4 floor house. The gradient is that steep 3rd floor is the garden level and ground level is 2 levels down in a square building.
