    Disco 2 Are Discovery(1,2) in demand by thieves?

    Climb in through the gaps in the sunroofs. Climb in through the panel gaps. Climb in through the door seals. Climb in through the window seals. Wait for the windscreen or windows to rot out and climb in. Climb in through the hole in the gearshift gaiter. Climb in through the botched boot floor...

    Disco 2 Are Discovery(1,2) in demand by thieves?

    Apparently there are 69 ways to break into a disco, but unless you left a pile of used banknotes in there, not one reason to do it.

    Finally got another Land Rover!

    Those hub locking nuts are cheap as chips, by the way. Mine were shagged 'norl.

    Finally got another Land Rover!

    Not bad, really. I presume it's been through a couple of MOTs? Leaning toward box section myself. Couple of cuts, couple of brackets, seal up the ends, nice and simple. A bar is a bar, it's nice to keep it simple and cheaper than the bumper, in case you need to use it.

    Defender Td5 poor starting and the little orange chappy

    Seems like one of those that can be solved by ensuring airtight system (re-routing lines if necessary) and throwing out the extraneous part. Maybe make yourself a manual bleed valve with a Tjunc and blanking plug mounted at highest point in system. But then again TD5 may be beyond tolerating...

    Aluminium or steel?

    1. Magnets 2. It is always possible that I'm wrong, even about my own name, but as far as I know all bodywork on a Disco is steel (or plastic). 3. Grommets. Sealant might do it, but coat thoroughly. There are various grades of steel chequerplate. 4. It's just really thin steel. That's why it...

    What would you do??

    Sell the beamer and hope you don't come down with a case of the babbies. Keep the 90 because she loves it. Or burn it down because she might love it more than she loves you. Tough call, which only you can make. Keep the RR because you love it. Then sell it because a Disco is better. Each to...

    Disco 1 Most classiest oil filler cap for a Tdi?

    Sadly couldn't find a satellite picture of my parking spot to mark out the full extent of grot ;) I do like the yellow one. Found one one in the end, on a very knackered fender style 200 wasting away under the rusted hulk of what looks like some kind of quarrying machinery, but keeping it for a...

    Disco 1 300TDI strange behaviour

    Bodge on the sedimenter job letting air into fuel line? Never hurts to change the filter, could be slowly letting through enough fuel to start after cranking it, but supply doesn't meet demand long term. Clean injectors?

    Quite a small pic, but it looks smart. What dimensions did you use? PS : Got any more pics?

    Ebay Series One Diesel 88" CHASSIS NUMBER ONE. 1957 first one off production

    Not so much a barn find as a tar pit find, apparently.

    Disco 1 Most classiest oil filler cap for a Tdi?

    New posh bit has moss on, so it's right at home with the lichens growing in the sun roofs :D

    Disco 1 Most classiest oil filler cap for a Tdi?

    Found something a bit odd under my bonnet yesterday .. Missing oil filler cap, with accompanying oil-drenched engine bay (even more than usual), but (here's the weird part) oil level is above max. Either I've got a load of water or something in there (not sure how), or somebody's messing with...
