Hi Folks, so after trawling through the forums today I've discovered you seem to be the Guru's when it comes to ACE. So.......I bought a disco2 v8 on an LPG conversion, back in March, i have a good cheapish, welder who is (a very grumpy) friend of the family and left in the garage with him until...

What did you find out? Is it a MOT fail? cheers

So I've done a search on the threads and they are all a few years old so i thought it might be worth asking now. My last two cars have been factory fitted LPG (a Ford & a Vauxhall ) so I didn’t thinking insurance would be a problem.....but I just got told my insurance company would not touch the...

Glad you got it done in the end Sir

Thanks! Whats the best one to look out for?

Yeah it's an MOT fail and a pig of a job apparently.

Does anybody in South Wales or nearby have a ball joint removal tool that i can borrow or hire? Or any great tips about how to go about this task? cheers Les Yes i need to put new ball joints in the upper and lower on both front sides

Does anybody in South Wales or nearby have a ball joint removal tool that i can borrow or hire, for the front upper and lower ball joints on a disco2? Or any great tips about how to go about this task? Cheers

UNDERNEATH, Near the rot. The last owners Indie Land rover garage didn't want to weld near the LPG tanks or remove them, hence why he gave up on it. I dropped it off at an LPG garage in the dark so didn't look underneath myself, but I've seen them now siting in the boot. they are quite stubby...

Thanks Si, you've given me lots to think about. My welder is good and affordable but still totally swamped with work, so i've asked a few other local, reliable places but no one is in a rush in these parts so its going to be a waiting game. I'm hoping its going to be alright and not the dreaded...

Thanks for the heads up, I'll look in to it. From the owners description and the MOT fail it sounds like it's a few patches, but i won't know for sure until my welder has been under it. I've loads of photos but I don't really know what i'm looking at....yet....but that is the joy of owning a LR...

Also, the garage aren't going to get around looking at it for at least a week and have advised me to look out for and source the ball joints that need replacing. Can anyone signpost me to the best place or what to avoid. cheers

Hi Gang, Well I've secretly wanted a Land rover for a long time, it must be something they put in the tea, in the Army. I've previously had a old freelander and have been around lots of battered ex farm defenders. My last 2 cars have been LPG from the factory (a ford and a Astra estate). I need...
