I live in Manchester, Will try and get it on my mates ramps this weekend. When I fit my new bushes I will give a good look at everything. But if anyone is local they are more than happy to have a look for me :) My steering box has had a very very slight leak since I bought it 3 yrs ago and on...

Got standard 16" 235 70 16 I think. Might check the pressure but they look okay. But I am ready for changing the whole rear axle at this rate :( ordered all new front radius arm bushes and nuts ect. Will do it this saturday with some luck. + I will be sunroof-less because they are getting...

Okay, put my new A-frame on today, new bushes and joint ect :) checked all nuts on my Trailing arms and they are all tight. but disco still seems to wander did check at the front and nothing was moving around. Would the rear anti roll bar give the effect of the rear wandering?

Just replaced my A-frame today :) I had a spare A frame so replaced all bushes and ball joint + bought all new nuts/bolts from ebay. The hardest part I found was the single nut what holds the joint into the axle :( had to use a chissel and snap the nut off. Then the second problem I had...

I am paying £1 a ltr

I did put new lock nuts on, started wandering, so checked the nuts and one was loose. But I was taking them off because I forgot to put the washers on. so took both off placed washers on, it was fine for a few miles and now its wandering again. got a feeling 1 of the nuts could be faulty. will...

Well it's started wandering again :( think the lock nut may of come loose again!! how many times can you use the nylon lock nuts? as in take them off/on. Are all lock nuts the same?

Okay then will have a look Saturday, Thanks for your help andy

Kinda sorted the wandering out, one of the nuts were loose on one side!!! think it might of been because I left the washer off the big nut end. So unscrewed both nuts and put washers on ect, tightened up and no wandering as of yet. Think the front radius arm bushes need replacing. Will be...

I am a bad mechanic yup :) replaced all the bushes on the rear trailing arm. I have got a new A bar with new bushes and new A frame balljoint. I just have not got round to fit it yet. would this cause a slight wandering feeling? also is there a special way of fitting the training arm...

Hi My drivers-side trailing arm snapped the other day whilst going round a bend on the road. (I never off road) I replaced both sides with new bushes and trailing arms It seems to still wander. Is their a certain way you install the arms? or it is just bolt to the rear then tighten...

Just Manchester :) Just hate getting in a cold car in winter and waiting for it to de-frost

Just thought I would keep you all up to date with my retro fit winter pack to my Disco 1 :) 1) Fitted an extra battery with split charge due to my extra bits of equipment I will be fitting :) For this I choose a Bosch silver top. 2) Took a heated windscreen wiring loom out of a scrap 300tdi...

Did you make the base plates yourself? Fancy making me some :)

I have ran my 300tdi on 100% Bio for 2 years now with no problems other than changing the diesel filter. I get less mpg from bio but I do put my foot down more as I know it's not cost me as much per ltr. some batches of bio I can get 550 miles per tank and other times I can get 400 per tank...

It's bone dry, however I don't want it to start leaking a few months down the line. As with all disco's it's a case of when not if it starts to leak or break :(

Hi I have a 300tdi 1996 discovery. My gearbox and trans box are starting to show signs of wear ie slapping when changing gear ect. I have sourced another gearbox and trans box. while I have the spare gearbox out ect what parts should I replace whilst it is out? ie bearings, rubber seals...

It's a Discovery 300tdi with 140,000 miles on the clock, runs on 100% bio diesel (heated fitting kit) new rear arches, both inner/outer sills, front arch patched up, new boot floor, new p/s and d/s floor pan, new goodyear eagle gt4 tyres all round new clutch, new water pump, new timing...

Been toying with the idea of selling my disco and getting a Diahatsu fourtrak 2.8 tdi. What do you guys think? they seem like a good solid car but do suffer from slight rust I think!!

I have been given two front td5 seats as the bottoms on mine have given up. How would I go about fitting these? is there an easy way? or will it involve cutting and welding?
