Mines an EDC auto. I didn't have any issues when I did mine, touchwood.

Advert says it's got 7x50x16 dumper tyres, and rear diff is locked permanently. Drives great apparently..... Im sure. :lol:

Trawling through Fleabay and found this! I can't see that ever getting caught or snagged on anything! :crazy::crazy::

Hi Welcome to the forum(s). You will find plenty of help and information on here mate. Get to know the search functions and you won't go far wrong. Have you had a look at the foam sound deadening stuff under your carpets. It soaks up water from leaks and just speeds up the rust. My D1 had...

Blimey I remember seeing that for sale down the road from me! I was tempted at the time lol. Looks like you've had some fun with it. Nice looking vehicle.

Hi, has the drivers side wing been sold yet? And if not how much are you looking for it? I can collect. Cheers, Andy

Mine fires into life pretty much instantly in the milder weather, but at 4am in the morning when it's icy and I'm off to work it turns over fairly slowly for a couple of seconds then starts. Saying that I'm assuming it's the battery as it's a halfords 072 and looks pretty old, so am going try...

I got a Clarke turbo weld 155t, which has the gas conversion. It's a few years old now, but I've seen it working, and it should do for me as a beginner. Only cost £50 and it came with a few tips, wire and some other bits. Just need some gas, mask, gloves, metal etc. and some sun !!:)

Hi SpaceDawg, I'm hoping to get as much of the rust off, next time there's a break in the rain! Got soaked yesterday :) As it's my daily drive and MOT'd til July, I don't want to have it sat in bits for a long time, but want to do a half decent job once I've had a bit of practice. I've...

I've never really welded before, but bought myself a mig today from a mate. I want to start thinking about getting to work on the bits of tin worm after I've had some practice. As a starter I want to sort out the inner arches at the front. i pulled some of the plastic arch liner trim clips and...

Hi, Have a look at Phoenix services. They are based just outside Harlow on an industrial estate on the road to Sawbridgeworth. Phoenix Services - Specialist in Land Rover Spares, Repairs & Servicing in East Herts / North West Essex Andy

Guess he was born an engineering hero, and never learnt from anyone. :o Not sure he was having a go, but I was only trying to bring home the fact that there is a wealth of knowledge to tap into on these forums. Bearing in mind the internet kind of took off around 1982, I would only have been...

Ashley, The plastic one just sheared off, after I had finished everything. I got 1/2 bsp brass flanged blanking plugs. Cost £1.48 each. Added an O ring to each to seal them. No leaks yet touch wood. I bought the one on the right as a trial to bleed the system like a radiator, but it...

Made it with 10 mins to spare!

Changed my timing belt yesterday evening on my 300 tdi Disco. Dropped the rad, for better access and drained the coolant. Everything fine until refilling the coolant. Bloody plastic bleed screw snapped on top of the thermostat housing pouring coolant everywhere. It's 1930 by now, where the hell...

Got to do all my belts on my newly acquired Disco next week. I bought a dayco timing belt kit today from jgs 4x4. Was £50 odd quid, plus got the crank oil seals. IMO it's one of those things you don't want to skimp on. I second the checking of the mounts and crossmember if your door is rubbing...

Here are a few photos... http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag147/andyrivs1/image_zpsa951ed22.jpg The white mark near the left of the picture, just under halfway down is actually a hole. http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag147/andyrivs1/image_zpsb9ca5539.jpg...

Yes I think quotes are the first port of call. Think I've located the source of the leak. Looks like it's where the panels meet under the little gutter. Water drips out from under the rear speakers. Everyone I've spoken to so far has said it doesn't look that bad. It's had previous welding...

Hi all, Aquired an 1995 auto 300tdi Disco 1 at the weekend. For 18 years old it's mechanically good and took me back down the M1 to home with no problems. Was a business mans vehicle, got a full service history covering up to last year, various invoices etc showing what it's had done to it...

I'll check this out. I'm almost sure the cutting out is due to heat or a possible crack somewhere. Cheers!
