Hi all I'm putting this up for my father in law, so if anybody is interested in exact details then i'll pm you his number. He's a mechanic and was doing it as a project for himself but with a change of circumstances he's being forced to sell. He said the vehicle is now mechanically sound but...

I was out with the old man today in his 90 when he hit his front diff on a hidden rock. Haven't had a proper look at it yet but it's leaking oil and there's also oil above it on the chassis and bump stop. Any ideas on what's needed to repair?

It's the black(well slightly faded now) moulded type A bar, I managed to buy it just before they stopped selling them. It's fitted with 2 round Wipac spots with 100w or 120w off road bulbs. I can't remember the size of the spots but they fill the complete opening. I can get pics on request when...

Yesterday I was trying to replace the steering box drop arm on my dads 90. The only way I could get it off was to cut it as it wouldn't budge. Working in poor light and steamed up googles I cut in too deep and have taken some notches out of the spline which hangs out the bottom of the box. I'd...

I'm scrapping my disco an I've offered my dad my mud tyres as he has AT. I tried one wheel on there but there was no thread showing through the nut, almost like the nut was only half on. Is this ok or should he get these tires put on his rims?

My 200tdi is now officially stripped and dead so my choices are to spend £1000 a 300tdi as another shooting/dog walking/snow/flood toy or sell my car which is fast and fun and spend £3500-£4000 a TD5 as my only vehicle? I have searched but cant really find an answer on the TD5 off road...

As the title really, is there asbestos in the paint? I feel this is a silly question but have it in the back of my head somewhere that someone told me there was asbestos in it!

For sale, HD steering bars from paddocks and pro comp steering damper. Have been on my disco 1 for about 12 months. It's the 3 ball joints kits to fit up to JA. £60 including postage.

I'm not going to list bits so just ask if there's anything you need. I'm keeping the wheels/tires and the gearbox grinds in 1st and 2nd so is probably a no go.

For 6 months now I've been planning on completely stripping all the rusty bits off my 200tdi disco and rebuilding it. Now I've run in to a few issues which is making me think I'll be better off scrapping it and starting again with another disco that doesn't need as much work done or at least has...

I downloaded the Rave last night and I've scrolled through every file on there tonight but cannot find anything on the Discovery 1. I can find every other vehicle except the one I want! Any ideas?

I'm in need of complete sills for both sides of my Disco 1 and I've noticed the YRM sills are almost half the price of sills from anywhere else. They look a bit more flimsy than other places but is that just looks? I'm after anyone who has experience with either YRM sills or the more expensive...

Right, Ive searched and searched and cant find a solid answer! What I want to know is how many earth straps are there on a 200tdi disco 1? And where should they go to and from :confused:

I removed the rear carpet and sound proofing today to see how it looked underneath. What is your opinion on what i found. Would you class it as bad or just needs a few plates patching here and there. I'm still relatively inexperienced with this rust malarkey, hence why I'm asking advice! I'm...

My options are to go through my 3dr 200tdi discovery and start touching up all the bits i need to, welding, bigger wheels, suspension etc. Or do I sell it as it is(light bar, snorkel, tires, cat 1 alarm) and start from scratch with a hopefully rust free 5dr 300tdi. What would you do?

Could somebody please post a pic of there door switch on an early defender? I'm going to sort a bit of security for my dads defender as he's slacking but I'm unsure where they were fitted. Any help would be much appreciated :)
