Hi guys I am after a dead (cheap) 380 gearbox to practice on before I strip mine down Cheers

Has anyone had either of these in the back of their disco 1? 600l IBC self explanatory... gas bottles thinking the big W/J size bottles from BOC or similar. Will they fit? :)

Hey up, as title, these parts support the kickdown cable on the non-EDC automatic and I need them. Cheers Chris

As title! Do all the mechanical pumps have the suitable arm to be able to use them on an auto... or do I need the pump or arm from an automatic?

Ey up. I've got a late TDi disco. It's got a "WA" chassis number and has the late type knuckle/CV housing that does not have the lower drain plug fitted, just a filler. Non-ABS. We're planning a long trip, and want ideally common spares and reasonably strong stuff. My mates is a 94 300tdi. I...

Hey up, My fuel pump has popped and thrown loads of fuel over the timing belt, so need to change it. The non EDC engine looks simple enough, but mine is the EDC automatic.... can't find much info on how to lock the crank in position. This suggests that the pin goes in the wading plug at the...

As title, what size are these threads? Approx 15mm nut but feels baggy, maybe imperial 9/16 They're close to M10, M10 starts to go on but feels odd. But the threads are gnarled and rusty. I don't want to send a die down and knacker them. Anyone know the correct size?

Eyup. When I first had the problem I thought it was a plugged fuel filter, it was missing and stumbling at part throttle, (but oddly, ticking over perfectly.) So I pulled over and changed it. Ran fine for a short distance then carried on faulting. Tank sender 6 month old, checked inside tank...

Eyup. Feels like it's clogged the filter occasionally. Revs up misses and stumbles then revs up like it means business. No air visible in pipes. Changed filter and it was fine for 5 miles then missing again. Tank sender 6 month old, checked inside tank no evidence of muck or water. No...

Eyup. I've got this winch bumper, it's got high lift points on it but the way it's mounted leaves a bit to be desired. It's held on with 3x M10s each side onto the chassis legs. It's fine for winching off but if you try to high lift jack it, it simply shifts upwards and squashes the trims...

I've got some rust on inner wing. Surprise surprise. It's near the back/bulkhead. The flange that the inner wing welds to on the bulkhead has a small piece rusted off it and the corner around there on the bulkhead looks suspicious. It is patchable but I suspect I would just be patching again...

Going to put some heavy duty sills on. People who have done it before, I see folk have used 120x60 rhs. What size tubing? I can get 1 1/4 welded galv tube and some 90deg bends right easily. Does the tubing clear the doors ok using 120 section if it's just butted against it? I was thinking of...

Ey up, I would quite like to put a bar across behind the rear seats of my disco, I'm often carrying dive tanks and it would be good for safety and just to give me something to lash them to. I was thinking to weld some "pockets" onto the rear arch area so a bar could be dropped in and bolted in...

Hey up folks 300 tdi EDC auto discovery Starts alright from cold. Runs fine. When warm, it will intermittently not start. Other times it will be absolutely fine and fire on the first turn. When it's being awkward it won't start, continued cranking doesn't give a hint of firing. No white...

Hey up. 98 300tdi. Getting very wet. If you pull the driver side A pillar plastic off you can see water dripping. I believe it's coming from the windscreen seal. Is it possible to pull the outer windscreen trims off to get to it to re seal it?

Now then, thinking of adding some sill tanks, I could do with a bit of extra juice without filling the back with jerrycans. Making them is no problem but how are they normally filled? Thinking maybe poke some inch pipes up into the footwells with caps on, might be a bit messy though. Or maybe...

Hey up, Just been round my disco ripping all the carpets up, leaky sunroof so had a wet through drivers footwell, I've fixed that now thinking of what to do with the floor. There are no holes I've found yet, but I want to protect it. I go diving quite a bit and am intending on getting muddy...

Hey up, I've got some suspicious bits at the top of the arch and a tiny hole in the corner of the otherwise new outer arch (where the door shuts). Has anyone got any pics of this area in bits to see what is meant to overlap what etc? Where is the arch panel meant to stop, is there anything...

Eyup! Well I bought a disco from a member here up in Fife. It's got a nice winch setup, however I'm a bit worried about somebody helping themselves to it. For the moment I've taken the rope off it. Do other folk take them off altogether when not in use? I'm thinking of making some sort of...
