    Disco 1 Welding in wheel arches.

    I've got corrosion and a patch needs welding on both sides near the rear seat belt mounts. I plan on removing the plates and welding a patch in there the re attaching the original plate to the new metal. Just wondering whether the weld needs to be seemless or I can spot weld in various places...

    Disco 1 Help Identify this leaking fluid

    Check all your fluids. One has to have gone down at the rate that's coming out. It looks like automatic transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid or power steering fluid. I have no concept of your truck but it's red and thick so can't be much else. How is the fan driven?

    Disco 1 Heavy duty clutch

    My disco 1 has a heavy duty clutch in it with a high bite point. I'm anticipating changing it at some point but would like to know what brand to put in and whether it needs to be a special clutch for off roading?? James

    Disco 1 Wierd Steering

    Something that major should be noticable by a visual inspection by laying underneath. I'd advise sorting it asap as steering is quite important!!

    I'm in the process of buying and d1. The person selling has told me it doesn't have an anti roll bar and it has had the cat removed. Are these mot failures?

    Where to off road in Suffolk.

    I'm from Suffolk and am in the process of buying an off road discovery. Just wondering any decent places to off road (free and pay). And is a winch essential?

    What to buy?

    I've got an argon welder. A decent one so I'm all good there. The guy has assured me the chassis is in top condition so going to have a look tomorrow hopefully.

    What to buy?

    I'm coach mechanic and we have all the gear ND tools. Welder. Lifts and I have a full tool box of everything you'd ever need. I don't mind putting hours into just not loads of money

    What to buy?

    Well it's not for a while yet so not sure on that. But it will be a tight budget of no more that £2000. I don't mind buying something for cheap and doing a few repairs either.

    What to buy?

    I'm interested in buying a discovery. But I'd like to know what engine mileage is acceptable? And which engines tend to be the most reliable? Also Im thinking of buying one already kitted out with snorkel winch springs etc. Just after general advice really as I've got no idea on land rovers.
