    New to Discovery 3 Land Rovers

    You will absolutely love her!! I've had my 05 D3 for almost a year, I've done almost 18k in her and still going strong! Cambelts service isn't so horrific if you shop around, mine cost £1k including all oils changed and new oil pump fitted and some bushes!! It's easy enough to work on, I've...

    I have no idea how long it has been since my last post but boy is there some news... So, 18months ago the turbo collapsed on my 300tdi and the engine ran dry until it halted.... i feared the worst and started looking for a replacement engine.... however after some friendly advice and some...

    Disco 1 v Disco 3

    I've got a 97 reg 300tdi but looking at a D3, talked to lots of owners and I will certainly be polybushing mine when I get it. Still looking to keep the D1 as a toy to abuse but I'm looking forward to the refines of a newer model. Things I've been told are high bush, brakes and tyre wear... Prob...

    Replacement 300TDi please....

    Decent - not necessarily recent. I know the age, I what to expect. Just don't want to pay over the odds for a knackered one that will fail agin 12 months later. One that's been properly looked after previously perhaps in an mot failure would be ideal.

    Replacement 300TDi please....

    Hi all, Last year my engine died a slow and horrible death with a combination of the turbo failing, overheating, running dry of oil all combined with a lot of thick black smoke. So rather than strip and repair the engine I'm looking to replace the lump. If anyone near Telford / Shropshire...

    wheel refurbishment

    I found this thread from a search - I'm in the process of rebuilding my disco. I have some standard disco 1 steel rims i bought to replace the alloys, i'm yet to take the tyres off but they will all need replacing, will these be tubed/tubeless? Can i replace them with tubeless if they're...

    A little Greek adventure....

    Ok... this is one of the first public post about a little trip i am planning hopefully next summer. Im currently rebuilding my 1997 Disco 1 which had a turbo failure, the trip involves driving from a theme park in staffordshire (no prizes for guessing which) to various Sealife Centres across...

    2.5 tdi exhaust problems

    I might be wrong but doing this may fail the new MOT rules!? If I remember rightly any vehicle which originally had a CAT from factory will fail if it's been taken off.... If I'm wrong I'll probably take mine off but I'm holding back for now...

    300TDi engine swap

    Hi guys and gals, Just a heads up, I'm looking at swapping out my 300tdi as the turbo collapsed and the engine eventually ran itself dry of oil... (I wasn't driving at the time... Not sure if I was and was engulfed in smoke id think to stall it either) I haven't tried to turn the engine since...

    Whoooaa there!

    I remember having a very similar camper van as a kid!! My parents loved it but after they divorced my mum let it stand on the drive way and became a playground for us... Eventually was bought for scrap I believe... Gutted!! I'd love to find it again, don't even know if we have any decent pics...

    Welder Needed

    Quite the opposite... a bog would have preserved the metal and stopped the rust.... a plan perhaps to try though to stop future rot!!

    Welder Needed

    Not tried anything yet.... it does seem to come and go but has got worse recently.... i have looked at getting new seals but some people have said its not worth the effort and just as well to get a new box as the seals will go eventually anyway....

    Welder Needed

    Thanks for the offer.... one which i will probably take you up on one day... however with no MOT or Trailer it needs to be a local fix this time round
