    Disco 3 (LR3) Discovery 3 / 4 Rear Door Actuator Replacement [When door won't open].

    It’s one of those jobs that once done once could be done in a tenth of the time!

    Disco 3 (LR3) Discovery 3 / 4 Rear Door Actuator Replacement [When door won't open].

    There are plenty of good videos online that describe how to remove the door card and replace the actuator & lots of discussion about how to release temperamental locking mechanisms [I've linked the two that I found most useful below]. Sadly, mine had failed in the closed position and I couldn't...

    Burnt out - rebuild

    Have you considered buying a load of good quality automotive wire in various colours; a slack handful of relays, a modern blade fuse box and a 12v indicator flasher can and making your own loom from scratch. You won’t have to worry about matching new to old, nonsense multi pin connectors, can...

    Disco 3 (LR3) D3 OIL PUMP AND TIMING BELT CHANGE - IT WASN’T WHAT WE EXPECTED.

    In August I purchased a D3 with 170k on the clock. It has the usual gremlins; intermittent airbag and suspension warning light, the OSR door doesn’t open and the hand brake fuse has been pulled—mechanically it’s sound and it was a bargain. I drove it for a couple of months and then purchased a...

    Series 3 New chassis time - help!

    Steering is very clunky. Maybe it’s wobbling around in the hole ;) Now to see if Richards will make me a S3 chassis with no battery tray but with the cotton reels to receive a P38 steering box!

    Series 3 New chassis time - help!

    Just searched for it on the bay. Very kind. Thanks mate. I assume the drop arm on a P38 is compatible with a series track rod?

    Do you think it’s off a P38 then? Looks like it has a standard S3 track rod...

    Series 3 New chassis time - help!

    When I put the new chassis on the 300tdi I pulled apart the PS pump and cut the blades off the turbine, doing away with PS. Since driving the S3 with PS I think I will keep it! Very useful picture though - thanks! Very keen to identify my steering box, fairly sure that it is off a Defender...

    Series 3 New chassis time - help!

    Clear on battery tray - thanks mate. It’ll have to go though because of the steering box. Open to cutting if necessary but in an ideal world I manage to get it made with the modification done. What gearbox x member have you got?

    Series 3 New chassis time - help!

    So the time has come to treat the S3 to a new chassis. When I did it to a 300tdi 110 last time I used Richards and was impressed with the quality. Can any one recommend an alternative and how do they compare? Secondly, at some point in its life it has been retro fitted with a 200tdi and power...

    Wanted Good condition 88 roof and back door for swaps.

    I didn't realise that, I have seen some reasonably tidy truck cabs on the bay for circa £75.

    Wanted Good condition 88 roof and back door for swaps.

    After selling my beloved 110 last year, yesterday picked up the new project! Please see the photos, with more to follow during the rebuild - probably on a galvanised chassis next March... A lovely example of a 72' 88; solid chassis and bulkhead and complete with a 200tdi - apologies to any...
