    Fitting D2 facelift headlights to a D1

    In order to do a 'proper job' of this conversion, what parts do I need please? - The headlights, obviously. This is going to be 'orribly expensive because this is France... - I don't know the correct term, but the full-width trim that goes under the headlights - Some anti-scrote retaining...

    Helping hand in SE France

    I have no in-depth knowledge, but I have a decently-equipped workshop and a car trailer. I also know of a REAL expert in my area - a really top bloke. I'm about 45 minutes away from the nearest main stealer (Chambery) and I also run a gite so unless I already have guests at least you'll have a...

    Winches : Zeon vs Smittibilt

    G'day Weighing up the pros and cons of winches in the 10K lb class. This will be on a demountable cradle for use on either end of a D1. I like the look of the Zeon, but A) it is a lot bigger than the other Warns, so needs its own cradle - which bumps up the price considerably. B) It's been...

    I need a set of inner wings for my D1. After reviewing comments made in this forum, I sent off a payment of £280+ - to YRM on the 4th of this month. They acknowledged payment on the 5th, and today - a week later - I telephoned AND emailed them to ask about progress. They sent me an email...

    D1 300tdi auto airbag module

    1998 UK-spec D1 up on a ramp for some serious pre-CT (ie French MOT) checkover. My man discovered that the airbag module was u/s, so I bought a secondhand warranted one from Avenger 4x4 (very quick service, by the way). Although they advertised this as being for a < DISCOVERY TD5 RANGE ROVER...

    Mach One wheels and offset

    Hi, I have a 1998 300tdi which I'm fettling bit by bit. 40mm lift using TF and Procomp parts. I have a set of Mach One steels to replace the Boosts, and whilst I'm happy to do a rear-arch 'Camel Cut', shaving the rear doors will result in a whole world of pain for me ( it's Madam's car, after...

    Terrafirma Detachable hitch

    I have bought a Terrafirma detachable tow hitch/tank guard for my D1 and my garage man ended up most confused. It IS deffo the right one, but it needs drilling through for attaching to the forward towbar stay attachment points, and Terrafirma themselves advised that the chassis be drilled and...

    Disco 1: Scrapping a 300tdi Auto with no need to be 'gentle'. The engine is already out, the front body mounts have been cut through, I'm working my way backwards.

    Modified H/D rear bumper

    Hi y'all Messing about with ideas for the rebuild. Will be putting on H/D bumpers but has anyone made or got a rear non-tubular H/D bumper without the endcaps? Every single non-tubular H/D bumper I've seen seems to have copied them into their design, but I wonder if they are really necessary...

    Safari Snorkel + 300Tdi + ABS + 2nd battery

    'Morning all. This is mainly to confirm my understanding in what is involved in fitting both a second battery in place of the jack and a Safari snorkel to a 300tdi D1 with ABS. I have googled for photos of this combination with no success. The 300tdi airbox is where the 2nd battery will go, so...

    Introductions

    Hi, I'm Mick, living in SE France, starting a(nother) project. This time it's a 98 300tdi Disco, lifting it a couple of inches, with the usual toys. Not going to be a rufty-tufty racer, just some gentle-ish laning with enough capability to get myself out of any problems. Also have a 2004 TD5...
