Hi I need to get a traction aid for sand. I have used stand ladder before, but they are quite specific in their use. So I was thinking about a set of waffle boards, as they are more useful in the UK. I have read in a few places that they work in sand, but I just don’t see how. With...

:doh: Ok I will take them all out, thats going to be a pain there is all sorts of other stuff in the way lol Many thanks Mike

I will get one out and have a look. Many thanks Mike

Hi I have check the voltage to my glow plugs and when I turn the key I get 10v which slowly rises to 11v just before the relay cuts of the power to the plugs. Is this right? Many thanks Mike

If it was the relay or wiring, would I still get the the glow plug light on the dash?

I dont touch the thotle when starting. I have notist in the passed that if you give it some gas it takes even longer to start. Do I check the glow plugs, just bu taking one out and turning the ignition? Thanks Mike

Hi I have a 1998 Mk1 Disco, which is reluctant to start when it has been left for a while. Ie over night. It has to crank for ages and then starts to go but you need to keep cranking for a bit more then it starts. Once started it belches out a load of black smoke, but once running seems to run...

This weekend has been wet, painful, tiring, but ultimately successful. I managed to finish the 2” lift on my Disco. Here’s the parts I fitted; OME Springs OME Damper Dislocation cones Cranked training arms 3deg radius arms Wide angle props Polly bushes all round Extended turrets...

Looks good :) What arches did you get? Are they 50mm Flexi arches? When you cut the arches on the rear. Did you get a between the out and inner skin of the door? If so how did you fill this and make it water tight? Planning on doing the lift on mine this weekend. Hopefully it wont take...

Yes, thanks I would be interested in seeing some pics. It will be good to see what some one else has done before I attemp it :) If the tyres rub on full comprestion I was thinking about getting larger bump stops. I have seen then at Paddock's. Does any one know if this will work? Many...

I am planing on cutting the outer rim on the arch to stop them rubbing on the outer edge. Then I am going to fit flexi arches to sort the MOT issue out. I have a set of 30mm wheel spacers which I have on my standard wheels. I will use these these if I get an issue with the tyres rubbing on the...

Thanks for that. I have just been looking at these on line and they are a good price :) Its good to get a recommendation from someone who has them. Many thanks Mike

LOL, Cool thanks

Yes, I think so. I am going to lift it 2" and a 1" body lift and flare the arches. So hopefully should work :)

Regardless what I call it, it is still a LR and I still want to know peoples opinion on tyres, but thanks for your input. :mooning:

:doh: truck not trunk LOL

Hello All I am looking to put 33" tyres on the Disco and would like some advice on which way to go. I want some form of mud terrain tyre but I use my trunk for going away so I want some thing which is also not to bad on the road. Hopefully not to noisy :) If any one has any preference or had...

That all sounds promising, Thanks:)

How difficult is it to separate the body from the chassis of a disco 1? I am looking rebuilding a Disco 1 as a project to make me a 4x4 toy. But I want to make sure I have a good chassis and also make sure it will last. Is it a practical thing to do, removing the body? Thanks Mik :)

Does this mean I can’t use a V8 for deep water? Even with a snorkel? Thanks for the replys especially the search help:D Mike
