Hi all, gonna fix some driving lamps to my disco at the weekend and I have a relay and fitting kit coming for the lights I've bought (non landrover). However, behind each light there's a socket on the end of a loom. I was wondering if this could be the original loom fitted to the car for...

Need some reassurance here guys. How often do you get asked if your disco is for sale? A few months back, the "travellers" were in town and some strange scruffy oik came and "suggested" that my parent's drive (where I keep the disco) needed doing. Then asked if the disco was for sale then...

Hi all, I'm looking at getting the QT front diff guard and rear diff rock slider for my Disco. Has anyone fitted these before? I think the front is fairly straight forward - I think one end the damper bolts onto the guard instead of its current mounting. However, there are two types...

Morning all, My disco has a larger hole than it should in the top of the rear wheel arch - directly below the pillar. (Pulled out the rubber bung which is there and now it's too small to put back!!) Anyway, I carried out a sort of Heath Robinson temporary fix to prevent water going up there...

Ok, so I've got plans for a few mods to the disco and when it's ready I want to get out there a bit more and do a few pay and plays. I've done a few tame green lanes near where I live and not had any problems when out alone. But the plan is for the mrs and I to head out to Wales and do a...

Hi all, almost convinced it's my battery. It looks like the original one! I only use my landy at the weekends, but often when starting, i'll just get the ticking. If I take it for a long drive, it will start fine again afterwards, but after a short one, it won't. If I don't move it, it...

Ok, so I've had it just over a month now. Got it serviced and tidied up. Just needs a bit of welding inside rear wheel arches and the BFG ATs are going on tomorrow afternoon. :D So now I need to make a few changes for slightly improved off-road performance and protection. I have a rear...

Whilst removing some mud from the rear wheel arches today I heard some cracking and after a bit of light knocking found a hole up inside the wheel arch directly below the C pillar. The rubber bung came out along with a fair amount of rust. I've rubbed back all the loose rust and it appears to...

Hi guys, I'm thinking I'm gonna need one of these at some point. So I was looking through the Haynes and tried to find the min and max torque settings that I might require. the majority were between 7Nm and 130Nm, with a few at around 200Nm and one at 280Nm (Crankshaft bolt I think). There...

Hi everyone, just introduced myself on the newbies thread. Like I said, I've recently bought a 96 Disco 1 V8. I'm already impressed with it's sheer capability having taking it up some slippy green lanes near where I live. Like most of the Discos I looked at, and judging by some of the...

Hi everyone. I've recently bought a 96 Disco 1 V8 and am quickly learning the joys and woes of being a Landrover owner :) The plan is to get it ready for some greenlaning, pay and play, but also remain civilised and reliable enough to get to Wales (and back) for some exploring in the...
