I've been putting this off for about 12 months, but decided to eventually get it sorted, I knew it was going to be a bigger job than simply replacing the floor, so I got a bit of overtime in at work to cover the costs. The original floor was completely shot as was much of the surrounding metal...

Hi guys, I just want to pick your brains before pulling the engine out if I can. in June last year I fitted a Valeo Heavy duty clutch kit to the Disco, apart from a few problems refitting the gearbox, all went went well and the Disco was back up and running. However after about 11000 miles I...

Having picked up the new V8 yesterday, I noticed the cruise control wasn't working, the switch illuminates but the steering wheel buttons don't do anything. This morning I found out the horn doesn't work either so I decided to investigate. After removing the horn I found that the multiplug isn't...

Hi Guys my first post in this section.:) I'm picking up my First V8 Discovery on Sunday, she's a 95 model 3.9V8i, full dealer service history up to 72,000 miles and lots of service receipts after that, new cat fitted 1000 miles ago as well as a set of BFGoodrich AT's. Chassis and body are...

This car came up on a local Facebook sales page and I jumped on it! The guy selling it was an apprentice mechanic at a local car sales. It had come in on a part ex and the lad bought it because he thought it was in good condition and he might make a few quid on it. I looked at it last night...

I've just searched against the above and can't seem to find anything at all, Its probably there somewhere but I can't find it, does anyone know what the MPG of a 3.9 V8 is please?

Just popped to the shops and as I was pulling onto the drive in the dark I noticed a large puddle of oil on the tarmac. Got out and checked and it seems that there must be a small hole in the bottom of the rear diff at the back where the filler plug is. I'll have a decent look at it tomorrow but...

I need to replace the bump stops on the back of the Disco. Is there any advantage in Spending £30.00 on a pair of Extended Poly ones or should I just spend £7.00 for 2 regular ones?

Been asked to post this on behalf of someone. A long shot, but the more people know, the more chance someone might spot the dogs or the car. CAN YOU HELP FIND 2 MISSING PUPPIES? LARGE CASH REWARD, NO QUESTIONS ASKED! A chocolate and red coloured smooth hair miniature daschund 7...

Set off this morning to Drive Strata Florida with the 4x4 Response South Wales group. Got to the beginning of the lane where the tarmac ends everything was fine. I don't think we'd done mile and suddenly there was one hell of a noise coming from the rear offside corner. A quick inspection...

Ok just for fun. If you had an unlimited budget, What Model Disco would you buy and what modifications would you make to it and why. :)

Happy New Year to you all. I need to add some recovery points to my Disco but I have standard bumpers fitted. So was wondering what would be the best type to fit? I was thinking Jate Rings might be the answer for the back, but what about the frount, is there anything I can use thats better...

My new Midland 248 arrived today with a SWR Meter and new Springer and mount, so after an hour I got it all fitted and with a SWR of 1.5 straight off I was quite happy. I couldn't believe how quiet the air waves are though, nothing like 30 years ago. :D I eventually got a rig check from a...

The Bin men just got stuck on the hill in our close, I told him I'd give him a pull and he laughed and said "Mate this is over 15 tonnes" 5 mins later he was still laughing as I pulled him up the slope. It was on compacted snow and Ice, good old MTs haven't let me down yet.. :D:D:D

Apart form the forum member CharlesY who made it into the papers as a hero last week for rescuing a load of stranded drivers. Has anyone else put their trusty truck to good use and rescued any stranded motorists. I pulled 22 cars up the hill near me yesterday and the best one of all was a new...

Took my 94 300TDI for the MOT this morning and she passed :D The sill wasn't as bad as I though but will need doing before I fit the rock sliders. also both rear lower link bushes are coming to the end of their life but they're only a couple of quid and half hours work to fix. A small oil leak...

I've just spent a couple of hours fitting a high level axle breather kit, topping up the rear axle and fitting the wading plugs, I also emptied the fuel sedimenter whilst i was under car. Upon starting her up (300TDI) she started fine as expected but seems to have developed a high pitch whistle...

Well with everything at hand I decided to make a start on fitting the new Springs, Shocks, Wheels/Tyres, rear Brake Disks and pads all round. The first problem was undoing the bottom shock nut on the frount as it was badly corroded on, I ended up having to use a stilsons (sp) on the shock its...

I took delivery today of the replacement Bearmach suspension kit, I had originally ordered a 2"lift kit but after advice from this forum I decided to keep it at standard height, so sent it back for exchange. Anyway I notice that they have sent me 4 identical springs, I was under the impression...
