Would these non slip stuff be good for under wheel arches too? I like the idea that it will help stop stone chips etc might even add a bit of sound proofing?

After so amny issues im trading the D3 for a Toyota and keeping my 300tdi - simple and reliable!

That look great mate, Iv got another plan after looking at yours to get round the broader support. Ill have a look again today and see if its possible and write back. Well done doing it yourself like you say better thank paying 200+ for a thin replacement

Well after doing a full brake system O/H calipers and braided hoses great - while working I noticed the rear crossmember is shot also a few holes in the chassis. 1. Cross member has anyone made there own? I measured and cant see how a box section 50mm x 90mm would not work and be even...

Well just finished my brakes new copper pipes, replaced the rubber flexi hoses with Goodridge braided and O/H the calipers with new pistons and seals result after bleeding - WOW what a difference! cant believe such a change - anyone who has not got braided hoses get yourself to Paddocks and get...

Well I decided to remove the track rod and the drive shaft just to get it on. What a pain still got the other side to do but knowing all what has to come off Ill try and take photos and work out how to post for someone else. I still prefer my old 300tdi even if it is rusting away

Well after the stealers wanted sill money for the front hydra-bushes on the disco 3 I decided to do it myself and replace the complete lower arm. Got the bolts out fine so thought all was going well but how the hell do you get the arm off the car? there doesn't seem t be enough space between...

Ok got my Goodrich hoses and starting to make up the new copper pipes too. Front hoses seem simple just put them through the hole and secure with the clip - done but the rear hose to the axle has me stumped. I put it through the hole but its not very secure onto the underbody of the car. Do I...

Im going to try these hoses on my 300tdi disco. Is all the fittings the same or is there anything else you need to get to fit them? Good to have everything ready to do the complete job. Going to replace the rusty steel pipes with copper too.

Cheers ill have a look at replacing the cylinder maybe too then for the sake of an extra £20. Looking forward to good brakes and seeing the difference with everything being new and braided hoses too going to try the blue racing fluid too , cheers for that. Well first I have to change the missus...

Sounds like a plan. Can you buy new seal kits for the master cylinder? Handy before I take anything apart.

I thought master cylinder too but I cant see any cracks or leaks. Can you get a seal kit for these? I cant see any if I was doing the brake system makes sense to at least look at it!

My brakes on my 300tdi are starting to have some really bad brake fade not filling me with confidence when driving much at all. Brake pedal goes down and slowly keeps going. I have taken the calipers off my project disco and cleaned and replaced pistons and seals and my plan is to replace the...

Hi again, looking at overhaulling my 300tdi brakes. Would love a more modern feel but going to replace the pipes and O/H the calipers. Can anyone tell me is the threads for the brake fitting UNF or metric? I have some metric fitting that seem to fit but thought id seek some advice here first...

Well I can tell you brakes are a doddle and got a sensor from Britpart and no problems. Only done it as the Stealers wanted 400 for brakes. Id agree with the tyres wear I got mine for a dealer and got new tyres fitted only done 7k miles and guess il be replacing them soon however the Dealer did...

cheers 200tdi first bit of confidence iv had! Not very convincing that your profile pic is a defender lol! Did you do the bushes yourself? Is it worth polybushing?

Must say the power is great you can actually overtake and its much quieter you can have a conversation. After doing the brakes it seems easy enough to work on however all the electrics etc could cause problems over time for the home mechanic. Iv got 2 old disco 1's hoping to get round to a...

Well a few months ago I made what I thought was a safer decision for my family as the old disco has a few quirks shall we say and we live in the country I got a 3 year old Disco 3. Now just after its 30k service it needs some bushes on the suspension arm replaced as its knocking plus there is a...

Love the sliders might be pinching that idea need to mine this winter, dont do much off roas but handy if and when and in deep snow which we are bound to get again. Did you put the door seals back on after the new box section or did you leave them off? If so what was the road noise like? cheers

Well done and thanks I got an old disco V8 from ebay and its sat for over a year done bits and bobs. Was going to turn it into a pickup and cut away all the rot got alot of negative feedback on the idea but after seeing your effort mine is in not too bad a state so going to do a rebuild over the...
