OK its a Disco 1 3.9 V8i ES auto registered in 1999 but its a late registered 1998 model. It has done 76k and has been running like a dream for the past 2 years. Used it yesterday and covered about 90miles and everything was fine. The only recent jobs I have done have been to fit a tow bar...

The alloys on my 1998 V8i are now showing signs of age: Would any one know the colour code or pantone for the grey that is used on these? I will have a go with some nitromores or paint stripper then given them a re-spray, polish and re-seal with clear laquer Unless someone has some...

Treated my Disco 1 to a full set of shocks plus steering damper after reading various reviews on here and talking to mates etc, put them on just before the snow started in December. All was well until I had a problem with the O/S/R shock last week, so I called Allmakes 4x4 and spoke to Ed...

Just got 4 brand new Pirelli Scorpion 235/70R16 tyres yesterday fully fitted, balanced, inc VAT etc. Total price just under £339.00 from Micheldever Tyres Seems a good deal to me, especially as I only live 15miles away from them. This was the first time I have used them but a few mates...

I,ve only had my Discovery 5days but after filling it up yesterday there was a big inrush of air as started to unscrew the filler cap. Is this normal on V8's ? Maybe I have a blocked breather or a non-standard filler cap Appreciate advice from someone who has owned a petrol Disco for a bit...

Just got my D1 3.9 V8i ES 1999 model and the original exhaust is on its last legs. I would like to get a full stainless system for it but the question I have revolves around the Cats, Can I get away with the MOT emissions test on a thru pipe or do I have to replace the Cats as well? Dave

I'm going to get a V8 Discovery but don't have sufficient experience of them to make an informed decision about which model is the better one, Option 1: Discovery 1 with a 3.9l engine, seems to be plenty of low(ish) milage models around c 1997-199 Option 2: Discovery 2 with 4.0l engine again...
