So: This thread will cover the rebuild and engine conversion of my 1985 127 Double Cab. The engine I've chosen is a Mercedes-Benz OM606 - 3.0 TD from a 1999 E300. I will also be installing the Mercedes 5 speed 722.6 automatic '5G-Tronic' gearbox as well. So this is how it began: As...

Hi all - my new (to me) 1999 Td5 Disco ES is very lovely in every way except for a lack of 'balls' or 'guts'. It starts on the button with very little smoke, runs smoothly and generally seems happy except that acceleration is what I would describe as pedestrian. Pulling away is painfully...

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge of retrofitting a full air con system to a 300 Disco? What is involved, how much work? Are the electrics all in place or does it need a special loom? Cheers, Langers :D

Hello fine people of LandyZone, long time no post - but this will probably be the first of many posts relating to my latest acquisition, the 130 Crew Cab. I've never actually driven the truck as it's not roadworthy at the moment. The 130 is fitted with a Detroit Locker (Eaton No-Spin)...

Hello people Having a bit of a problem with my 2004 Td5 110. During a recent gearbox change, I made a very common mistake and damaged the wiring connected to the crankshaft position sensor on the bellhousing. The wiring snapped off leaving not much to work with, but I managed to fit a...
