powder coating my bike frame which was a big frame was around £40 so I would expect the roof rack to cost the same. Powder coating will make it look a lot better, when i did the bike frame it looked great and was very strong coating against all the road stones flying up. I agree removing the...

I will be looking into spots but first I'm thinking of powdercoating it the same colour as the disco. this will make it look more of a one of for this disco. :D

got a roof rack from Stu at a good price. he made it him self and fits the disco like the safety devices type, have a look here at his design, http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/building-my-own-expedition-roof-rack-181463-7.html any one intrested he will probably be willing to make another. I...

richard chassis have put an advert in landrover monthly they are now doing disco 2 chassis. they havent put an artical in like i expected and there is no pricing. Any one phoned them yet see how much the disco 2 chassis are. I'm still hoping they start producing the rear end ar a replacment part...

sound like you need a portable food light. thats what I used. I also used 0.8mm for 3mm steel. as for the gas is it CO2 only, you will be better of with an Argon mix say 90%argon/CO2. my welds dont look prity when i do them but you can grind them down to look good. the braking them apart test is...

what mask are you using. I have a clear glass one that goes dark when welding. also for the V joint I welded both sides for strength this is because my mig as well as yours will struggle a bit penetrating 3mm still. You could go for 2mm which will weld better but not as stong. As for the weld...

I bought a supermig 150 from workshopping.co.uk. it had some good reviews. the clarks model for the same price had to many bad reviews. depending on your budget, so far i found this welder is very good up to 3mm steel. the power settings are not well explained but you can get to grips with it...

ok sorry assumed mix of argon and co2

Hi Im looking at getting a full size roof rack for my disco 2. I would like one that looks like the voyager one see pic does anyone know where i can get one of these in the UK. :cool:

good just what i wanted to hear. will blank it off and see what happens thank all

thats right number 12, it says its the vent pipe but I also have a breather pipe. :confused2:

thanks shocker. I agree i dont want to block a breather to a fuel tank and a repair is not worth it with the cost of a tank being £35 second hand. but I dont believe this is a breather for the TD5 it part of the V8 system for emission and i dont see its needed for the TD5, however i would mind...

thanks for the idea I have the pipe has broke of flush to the tank, I have tried inserting a smaller pipe into the tank hole and then fitting the breather pipe over it but cant get is to stick very well, I was thinking of trying a resin mix, my only worried is when the tank is full any holes...

tried glueing the pipe back on with superglue and covering it with no nails but just broke off again, this pipe is for the V8 EVAP system. Is it realy neaded for the diesel TD5, it says on rave its a breather pipe, but I already have a larger diameter breather pipe, could i not plug this hole or...

well most sites books and colleges that i have spoke to say use Argon mix CO2 as it gives the better mix, you can use pub co2 gas but spites more and if you are new to mig welding would make things more difficult.

check out you tube for mig welding examples, this helped a lot, also you will need to research mig welders to get the best one for your money. Gas is expensive but in the end if you have a lot of work over a couple of years it will pay for itself. I used a full bottle of argon gas from Adams...

thanks for the coments, don't think i would like to work on some one else pride and joy. time will tell if its ok as the welds could give way.
