    Am I "wasting" time and money on a disco?

    I'm finding myself agreeing with almost all of this, especially the biit about £KKKK holidays that are over in 2 weeks and all you have left is sunburn and millions of dodgy digipics. I'm off to Billing on Friday on the Disco Owners club stand, can't wait as its my first Landy show...there goes...

    Am I "wasting" time and money on a disco?

    I'll hedge my bets here and say that the Disco 1's time is now coming. Values are at rock bottom and can't really drop any more. Look at where the classic Range Rover was a few years ago. Disco 1's are in the main, rusty and have spaceship mileage, they get robbed of their engines and then get...

    D2 Front mudflaps

    I've got front mudflaps on my 95 300 tdi but where they fit is a bit of a joke really. My question is, do the D2 front flaps fit easily enough as a straight fit or do I need to get creative with the bracketry ??? Cheers

    Front axle

    I got 2 complete swivels and fitting kits/grease etc from MM 4x4 for £179.90 inc delivery. They were the cheapest I could find. It's a Britpart kit and although some don't like BP I had no problem with the parts or quality. Mines a 95 300 tdi non ABS

    Special Vehicles

    Our "electricity board" cherry picker 110/130's have these badges, basically its not a standard factory vehicle as far as I know, so a special "magic" section at LR works its wisdom to produce "things" and sticks a badge on it.

    They call it a jeep in the ad. What else don,t they know.

    200 TDI Discovery, genuine 29k really??

    A 29K "car" simply wouldn't look that worn out. It must have sat outside ever single day and never been properly cleaned/valeted, but even then that black paint on the screen pillars shouldn't have faded like that. If it was closer I'd be tempted to go tyre kicking. Smethings not quite right...

    New boot floor going rusty !!

    I've had a look at the inner rear wings and the trim panels and can't see any sign of water marks/stains. I'll be pressure washing the car to get rod of the rusty dust all over it before I refit the panels so I'll be able to see if the glass seals are leaking. loose rusty paint scrapped off...

    New boot floor going rusty !!

    Finally got round to having a look at the boot floor on my 300 tdi. When I bought it last September the garage said the last owner had it replaced, and from undermeath on a ramp it all looked very nice. From the top,... Lots of surface rust on the new panel because the inspection panel seal...

    What does your disco weigh?

    I,ve just removed the boot floor rubber mat for the 1sr time since I got mine last September and I cannot believe how heavy the thing is. I don't cart a load of stuff around in it so thinking of getting some lightweight rubber matting. Should lose several kg there. Not weighed the car but its...

    Tapes - destined to make a comeback!

    My Disco 300 tdi still has its original radio cassette, can't bring myself to fit a cd radio etc as it would be the only modification the vehicle has so I play my MP3s through a radio transmitter. Daren't play my valuable and rare Five Star tapes on it in case they chew up.....and Woolworths has...

    steering UJ shaft play

    The panhard rod and radius arm bushes look to be ok and I have had a large pry bar in there and not noticed anything alaming. Not getting any noises or clonks either but I do intend to replace all the suspension bushes in the near future as they do all look decidedly original 145000 mile/20 year...

    steering UJ shaft play

    I've replaced the complete swivels in my quest to lose the death shake, which it has mostly done and I've noticed the intermediate steering shaft has some play in it if I pull it sideways near the rubber bushed bit - later MA chassis no 300tdi - It doesn't seem to have any play in the normal...

    Could it be this simple? Coolant issues

    Sorry to hi-jack this to a degree, but where is the level indicator ona disco 1 300tdi header tank. I cant find one on my 1995 car. ??? And I'm sure it has dropped a bit since I bought it last September

    Replacing a Defender 200tdi with a Discovery 200tdi

    Mechanical problems aside, your biggest problem will be finding a disco 200 tdi that doesn't need a load of welding. You could keep the 90 and get it mechanically sorted. The 90 is also always going to be worth more than any disco 1, with perhaps the exception of the G-WAC press discos in a few...

    Swivel grease leak during preload check

    What do you suggest as a suitable weight for a built up unit ?? I did do the 1.5 kg load check with it all free of cv joints/seals etc and that felt too free and easy.

    Swivel grease leak during preload check

    Well, I ordered 2 complete swivel kits and have spent the last 2 days ripping into it. I built the driver side up on the car only to find the rear seal retaining ring is not universal and has to go on a certain way round to fit all the 8mm bolts, so I had to undo all the svivel/axle bolts and...

    How to re-black the plastic trims?

    With black plastic trim there isn't really a treatment that will last months and months, Bumpercare doesn,t generally streak but you will have to apply it at least once a month to keep the plastics looking black. It also conditions the plastic and protects it against rain pollution and ultra...
