After dragging my disco from a silly place my wife parked it (fortunately done at slow speed) I found that the drivers sill is just about non existant. Should I buy a new sill from somewhere like Paddock or should I make one with a chunk of box section, what options are there?

I need some replacement panels for my Disco. Usual bits the rear wheel arch by the door opening, RH sill (poss LH too) and I can either patch or replace the RH front inner wheel arch. Where's the best place to get the panels. Paddock or somewhere else?

I'm thinking of getting a Freelander. I've heard that some of them suffer from over heating and cylinder head problems. Is that correct and what else should I be looking for problem wise?

Following a blow out on a rear tyre I wondered if you can buy pre made checkered plate to cover over the bottom of the rear wing, or is it a case of making your own?

Please can someone tell me the size of the circlip on the front propshaft UJ's of a 300TDI (1996) Disco?

I always thought the yolks on a prop shaft where supposed to be in line however having taken the front prop off my 300TDI to change a UJ I as surprised to see they are a little off set between the diff end and the gearbox end. Is this normal or has someone been messing about with them in the...

I have a strange noise, a cherpping or rubbing noise coming from my 300TDI at present. At first I thought it may be a stone trapped in a wheel or brake however I'm not convinced as it's not there all the time when driving. What's happening is no noise while stationery, the noise only...

Sounds a bit like an old Genesis album but as the temperatures get higher it's not much fun for me. I have only 1 electric window left working on my 1996 Disco.

Can someone tell me what the standard tyre size and speed rating is on an automatic 300TDI Discovery 1996?

My disco (300TDi engine) has developed a strange gugling noise form the header tank. This only seems to happen on short journeys of a mile or so and when I switch the engine off! On medium and long journeys all seems to be quiet and I don't have any over heating problems that I'm aware of. I...
