I have recently been looking at fitting dislocation cones to the rear of my disco 1, I have seen many vehicles with these fitted, some at the top, some at the bottom. I am thinking of putting them top and bottom. Will this be a good idea?

Hi guys, I have recently bought a D2, there were a few switch blanks missing when I got it, 2 in the dash (by the hazard lights button) and 2 in the centre console by the window switches. It looks like the ones by the window switches are for heated seats, I don't think it has these (GS model)...

Hi guys, my 300 disco has recently decided to start going wrong. The starter side of the immobiliser would not put power to the starter solenoid occasionally but a few minute wait would see normal activities resumed. Then it stopped putting power through at all, causing me to bypass it. All was...

Took all of the rear trim panels out of my disco today to weld in new arches and plate some holes in the floor caused by the lake that is the boot. Decided to find out where the water was getting in, removed and resealed the alpine window which did bugger all. Took headlining out - all dry...

Hi guys, I want to swap my 2" HD lift for a 3" HD lift in the near future, 2 reasons, firstly, the bearmach +2" HD lift that's fitted now only lifted the truck 30mm so now the 35's rub on the arches and secondly, the shocks are shot! I already have HD spring retainers, -2" turrets and...

Hi guys, I did a 2" body lift on my D1 a few months ago, I've not done any offroading with it since doin the lift. At the weekend I tested the arch clearance on a large stone pile up at the farm. Not great. Tyre caught the arch on full articulation and that's before the -2" turrets are fitted...

Hi guys, I've recently fitted a Southdown snorkel to my 300tdi disco, had to modify it slightly as I have a 2nd battery where the original air intake is, so made a new hole through the innerwing and into airbox. I now want to fit my extended breathers. I don't really want a pipe running up the...

Hi all, I'm currently running a 2" susp lift and 2" body lift on my disco. I now want to fit the following: TF503 - terra firma -2" tubular turrets TF501 - terra firma front relocation cones TF520 - terra firma long travel rear spring relocator TF835 - terra firma RTC steering damper (for...

Hi guys, it's coming up to insurance renewal time and I'm looking for a decent quote, am currently with frank pickles but they no longer cover 4x4's. I've tried Adrian flux and Lancaster both coming in within a few quid of each other at a shade under £500 (more than double what I paid last...

Hi, I've recently bought a 1.41:1 transfer box to gear down my disco, the guy who I bought it off has fitted a cross drilled input gear and started replacing the gaskets.... but with crap ones. In the process of replacing the gaskets he's lost the 6 bolts that hold the PTO cover on. Does...

About 6 weeks ago I was happily driving along with the plant trailer on at about 25mph and the engine decided to stop. I thought it was the immobiliser playing up so I flicked on my bypass switch which feeds power directly to the stop solenoid (had problems with it starting previously so I...

I've recently found out that frank pickles are no longer taking on new business for 4x4 insurance. I'm currently insured with them. They don't take no claims into account. i.e., they don't ask for your NCB when you insure and you don't accrue any with them. I was insured with sureterm direct but...

Hi guys, did my 2" (well, 48mm) body lift today. All went well, apart from forgetting to slacken off the steering shaft :doh:. Only problem is now, when engaging reverse, the damper on the gearstick hits the centre console. I've got the gearstick extenders but this fits on the top of the stick...

Does anyone have any pics of how the flexi pipe connects to the airbox on the 300tdi disco? Does it connect at the front like the standard air feed does? Cheers

Hi, I'm in the process of doing a 2" body lift on my disco, new custom made rock slider sills are now fitted complete with new heafty body mounts. I've turned a set of spacers and got extended braided brake hoses. New stainless seat belt anchors fitted and I'm now looking to make the gearstick...

Hi, my gearbox is on the blink in my disco, so the box has got to come off at some point to either repair or replace. May as well replace the clutch at the same time. I'd rather not go for a ****part one because I fitted one of them 6000miles ago and it now slips more often than a fat bird on...

Evening all, went down to yarwell quarry recently for a P&P day, approx a couple of miles from the site I changed down from 5th to 4th on a slip road, seemed a struggle to go into 4th gear. Anyway, the rest of the day passed without a hitch, box was fine. Drove the 60miles home with no issues...

Left the disco running for 10 mins this morning to warm it up before I went out. Gets in and it's still -9 inside. Fair enough, probably not long enough to warm up. Anyway, I'm on my way to take the wife to work, queueing trffic for a good 15mins, so I left it in neutral and held it at...

Hi, I've bought a set of 35" cooper stt's for my disco, not got round to fitting them yet as I've got to do the body lift and fit the extended arches so that they don't rub. Obviously with wheels 6" bigger than standard the speedo is going to be out by 21% and instead of doing 60mph as the...
