Hi all, I know that the wheel & tyre thing has been done to death by now, so I'm almost embarresed to be asking these Qs, but having scoured threads and stickies for answers I'm still unsure. I've just got a set of series steel wheels with 7.50-16 michelin XZLs on, from what I've read so far...

Quick update for anybody who encounters this problem in future: I was getting 12 volts at the connector into the transducer, so ruled out the wiring, and the mysterious loose connector in the engine bay. I sprayed the connections with wd40, and gave them a good rub together, and took the car...

Hi all, Speedo has been working fine up until yesterday. Yesterday I topped up all the oils, including the transfer box and gear box, and changed all the filters. Last night I went for a short drive and the speedo wasn't working. I went back underneath and checked and cleaned the connection at...

My Disco's left hand light cluster (on the bumper), hasn't been working for a few weeks. It's no big deal because the larger indicator still flashes higher up. It's just anoying because it's running much quicker than the other side. I have checked and cleaned the connector just above the...

Hi all, Gave my disco a bit of a service today including, oil change, fuel filter change and sedimenter clean, toped up the diffs, tranny, and gearbox oils, and finally I fitted an EGR blanking plate. I found it to be a simple job, however one thing which caught me unawares, was the Y peice...

I like the limestone colour wheels that the series landys had so I'm thinking that, but might buy a tin of silver aswel just incase it looks odd.

Hi all, Boring question but: I have a set of landrover steels with some michelin xzls, for my discovery, and they need a repaint. Not sure what colour to spray them. It's a Rioja (sp?) red disco, and I'm not sure whether to just paint the steels silver as normal, which might look a bit plain...

Terrible pic but you get the idea.

Hi all, I could do with a roofrack for when I go on trips to the national parks, and for runs to the diy etc. Trouble is I sometimes see people drive around town with huge full expedition roof racks on their 4x4s, which appear to be doing bugger all, but ruin their fuel economy and prevent...

Hi all, I just came across this on ebay and thought that apart from the fact it's in an arkward location and missing the gutter clips, it's ridiculously cheap considering it would fit a series or defender landrover. I would like to stress that I'm not in any way related to this sale or the...

Well from what I gather, the old series steel wheels are 5.5 inch, whereas the defender ones are 6.5 inch? I think the disco alloys I have on at the moment at 7 inch, and I'm after something skinnier, so a series steel with a 7.00/16 or 7.50/16 tyre would be just the job. Trouble is finding...

Hi all, I've never been a fan of the wrap-around style bull bars which are most common on discos, and since mantec bull bars like the camel trophy ones, come along every once in a blue moon, I was wondering if a defender bull bar could be adapted to fit a disco. I'm aware that defender...

Yep can't agree enough. I roller painted my old mini, and it worked a treat. I spent a good 4 or 5 days rubbing, sanding, and occasionally filling, each panel, down until it was perfectly smooth. Did it all by hand because I thought a grinder would be too fierce. In the end, the paint I used...

Haha, unfortunately not mate no. Just some road tyres up front, and some A/Ts on the back.

I'm in Hereford, and have been watching ebay like a bloody hawk, but it looks like all the wheels and tyres that are coming up are a good 100 miles away. I've emailed a guy from Derbyshire who is breaking a 109 safari, and is offering 4 of what look like decent 7.50/16 tyres, on original steel...

lol so everyone thinks they're gay... great. Well I think they make a disco look much more simple, and rugged. That's my favorite thing about a landy. The nicest looking landys for me, have to be the series 2s and 3s untouched and sporting old school roof racks, and capstan winches or...

Loudandproud205, what size are those rims, and also the tyres please? The reason I ask, is because I have driven around three local breakers yards today, one which had nothing for me, and two specialist land rover dismantlers. One of these was fairly helpful, and could offer me a set of 5.5...

Bucket seats for sale on ebay. 60 quid. Black Bucket/ Racing Seats - Corbeau, Cobra, Mamba. Land Rover/ Mini/ Kit Car | eBay

I've been after a winch aswel but they're too bloody expensive. From what I gather, the general consensus is not to buy the cheap winches you can get on ebay for a few hundred quid, but to hold on for a cheap second hand Warn winch or similar. Even second hand, these things go for easily 3 or 4...

Great pics. I'm up this area all the time. I live nearby in Hereford, and recognise all those photos. About a fortnight a go I was up there in my disco (completely standard with road tires front, and all terrains back), and managed to get up almost to the big car park on the top. I had to stop...
