Cheers mark is lamancha still there had a wee lock online and some people seem to thinks its closed? Where about is Melrose does that one start I can find Dere Cottage is it near there? Cheers Gary

Im more than capable to do all the work myself thats not a problem. Iv only looked at a few parts Distributer is £100 straight away, love to improve the engine power and efficiency with a high lift cam but that’s out the question at £200. I really want to go for the V8 and probably will I...

Is it possible to run a diesel wiring loom in along side ready for the change?

cheers

I do fancy the V8 but its not just the MPG im bothered about. I can handle that for what I do sand it would be nice to be able to overtake having the power to do so safely. But from what I see the V8 engine parts are so much more expensive to that of the 300tdi. And if I am doing a rebuild I...

Hi, does anyone know anywhere to do a bit off off roading in the Scottish Borders? I used to go to a 4x4 park in Fife but move here now. There is obviously loads of farm tracks but dont want to get on the wrong side of any farmers?

Im starting me rebuild of a V8 disco but not sure to stick with the V8 love the power and grunt or to stick my 300tdi from my other everyday disco as there is so much rust on the daily runner but the engine is sound. Iv had the 300tdi for 5 years now and know it well and trust it, I know very...

I see POR do a rubber undercoat looks great for the sills and wheel arches too. I want to go above and beyond to stop all the rust spots of the disco.

Just looked into Por 15 looks the dogs going to give it a go for the chassis etc cheers

Whats the best to paint the chassis. Would love to get it galvanized but that would eat up the build budget. It is solid with a fair bit of paint still on it but going to clean it up but can obviously only get to the outside. Thinking marine paint? any other thoughts?

I had this with mine even went to the dealers. Guy told me to check the alignment of the locks as sometimes they can stick and have a knock on of problems. i played with that and done the spider bypass and touch wood it has all been good since.

Well first merry Christmas everyone. Well finally got round to getting on with the rebuild. Jacked the body up and rolled the chassis out - a bid dodgy but all good now. Just wondering how on earth Im going to get the body back on once I have done all the work (Ages away im guessing) was...

Drilled the spot welds out and got it off and after a few hours of jacking and playing about with timber supports finally got the chassis rolled out - woo hoo. Ill get the photos and start my online rebuild but may take a while. Would love to get the chassis galanised but depends on cost and...

thats the bit cheers spacedawg can you buy this part? cant see it on YRm r anywhere

I started drilling the welds but its fairly rusty any way andd would like to replace it. Might just have to make one up my self. Great link by the way Jamesmartine hope my shell looks like that when I am done but it is missing the brace that I'm talking about probably as it makes it alot easier...

if I work out how to get a photo ill get it on - its attached to the two headlight brackets below the radiator

great link but not too handy. the very front of the car there is two strips if you like that join the two fronts of the car together the top one has the bonnet catch and VIN number on and the bottom one is what the radiator and intercooler sit on - thats the bit I need

These are a must I agree pain in the a55 not getting to the controls for a drink. Also like the torch clip great idea might pinch that one too cheers

Well finally getting on with the 94 V8 disco rebuild. Got everything off and ready to roll the chassis out from the body however it would make it alot easier if I can cut a bit of metal to clear the block. But before I go cuframes Its the bit at the front at the bottom of the radiator that...

Cheers the chisel idea worked a treat! well still ample swearing and knocking but its off! Think this is all thats stopping me lifting the body off now - well apart from a way to lift it! cheers oh and for anyone else lots of WD does help or at least smells nice
