Thanks @discool That answers my question about the bonnet being the same for the 200 & 300 series. I think some people are suggesting that you can adjust the wing by loosening the wing retaining screws.

Thanks @discool So, @Georgeblade, are you looking to upgrade the entire front bumper (plastics and all), or just the metal ‘blade’ part? I’d personally like to keep the original look but replace the metal part!

I’ve got the same problem! Just about to post the same question. I wonder if one of the site elders will help!? Maybe if I call a 3 door D1 a ‘2 door’. That usually gets their attention 👍

The front wings being adjustable seems to be the answer. I think I was just wondering if early D1’s had a different bonnet. Thanks for your help everyone. Maybe lay off the estrogen though 🤣👍👍

Lol. If you don’t know the answer, don’t reply.

I have a 1992 two door D1. It’s had the bonnet replaced with a later bonnet. The panel gaps either side of the bonnet are noticeably big! It’s as if early D1 bonnets were wider. Is that right? Or is there something wrong with my car… it’s not been written off and I’m sure it’s not been in an...

Thanks gents. I did buy a new replacement unit. To my surprise, the suction wasn't that good, but notably better that the old one (which I suspect had been on there for the 209k of that engine). The result was good. The brakes are better. Especially on tick-over, where you can pump the brakes...

Can anyone give me an idea of how strong the vacuum pump should be that assists the master cylinder? I’ve taken the pipe off and I can feel some suction, but it’s quite weak. Should this be a strong suction on tick-over? The brakes have never been great on my RRC, but if you pump them on...

Sorry chaps. On closer inspection it was the fuse for the dash. Tiny break in the fuse. Feel like a burk!

Today, whilst at the recycling centre, my RRC 200tdi wouldn’t start! Although most electrics seemed to work, I had no dash lights and it won’t crank. I managed to hot wire the starter, which means when the key is in the correct position the engine runs fine. Very confused. Any suggestions? Oh...

Thanks chaps. I was really thinking of the later 160-180hp engines. I have the 184hp engine in an E91 BMW and it’s got bags of torque and power. I was thinking that would be ideal in the RRC. I’ve been daily driving it for about the last year and day-dreaming about a cool engine swap. 6.5 GMC...

I have a RRC 200tdi and would very much like to transplant a BMW N47 engine into it. I’m keen on using a later 160-180hp engine. Has this been done? Is it possible? I know the engine, in its early form, found its way into freelander, etc. Any thought would be appreciated. Apart from ‘just leave...

I recently replaced the front prop on my RRC 200tdi (same as Disco 1) after it finally gave up. The new prop cured the mystery wobble under acceleration and at some speeds, which got slowly worse over years until it totally failed! That was a few months ago. Anyway, in the last week I’ve noticed...

Ah, that sounds like a sensible answer. Your setup is very similar to mine, with the big Tyres. I doubt the steering damper has ever been changed. I’ll do that with the bushes. Thanks

Yeah, I’m not expecting great handling, and I understand the compromise. It’s the general road manors. It doesn’t feel very connected, and I’m wondering if there’s some kind of correction kit I need? Re-Tyres, it’s running 265 75 r16, so they are pretty big I guess. Maybe that’s just what they...

I have a 1994 RRC factory manual 200tdi. I'd like to civilise the drive as much as I can. It's had a 2" lift on springs. It doesn't really drive that great. I'm due to replace the shocks soon as they're knackered, but the problem feels more like geometry/suspension setup. Is there anything I...

Sorry, didn't really word that very well. Basically, I think the alarm has gone into some kind of tamper/lock-out mode. This seems to have happened since I removed the car battery!! Does anyone know how to reset the alarm??? Or, have any other suggestions?? Thanks

I removed the battery to fit a bonnet cable tonight and the remote locking doesn't work. The indicators usually flash and the LED on the dash usually flashes if I lock the door with the key, but nothing!

I'm looking to buy a one button remote for my 1993 RRC Vogue. It didn't come with one. I'm guessing one of the 14 owners lost them both... anyway, I haven't thought about it much, until tonight when I locked the truck on the passenger door and the indicators flashed and the alarm sprung into...

That sounds great. I'll message you privately and get your details. Many thanks!
