I dunno mate - have twin underslungs in place of the standard 95 litre petrol tank - but they was fitted when new 11 years ago and such info has unfortunately long since vanished!

got the tyre off the rim that had the valve ripped offlast sunday and drilled a new valve hole inside the rim and got the outer hole welded up and put the tyre and ne tube back on and took it in the local garage for balancing

Picked up the V8 disco yesterday, loving that 8 pot grumble!

Will be busting out the welder/grinder and comencing surgery on the other Disco later this arvo!

got it through its mot did most of the work prior to sending it in first time and only failed on a few bits cost me £20 to fix the rest so i am very happy today

finally got a day off so fitted new fuel pump , at last i know how much petrol i got in the tank !

got the wheel back on the old 90 and got the 2 spare rims welded and drilled as the other 1, tyres fitted and into the garage for balancing .
dont suppose anyone has a spare wheel carrier bracket kicking about going buckshe ? does'nt matter if its a disco 1 or deepender (need 2 really but think i'm ask a bit much really)

think pikey off to taffland in the not too distant future...also a lanin weekend is on soon

I gave mine a quick wash so I can see out the windows and then fitted new bulbs to my dash. I can now see the fuel gauge, hot/cold, blower up and down and fan position in the dark. Nearly had a heart attack when I popped into halfords and they were £2 a bulb. My heart slowed down a bit when they cam down to 45p each with the use of my trade card. Still bloody pricey though.

thanks mate see what you mean about a bit scabby but would'nt be too much of a problem (match up nicely with the old bus )

Prep work for the re-spray...Took as many lights, grills, guards off as possible, sanded her down...filled a few holes and splits in the bodywork. then I sanded her down and used about 50 bin liners and a ton of paper to cover everything thats not going to be painted..

1 indicator light cracked, 1 bulb rusted solid to its housing..1 rear eyebrow loose...all fixed, pleased there was no real issues..

Only took 8 hours...and this beer tastes like nectar...early start tomorrow.
