Hi all, My 97 300 tdi has just failed its MOT and will require some welding. The tester has marked the brackets in the pictures below but I cant find out what they are called to get the repairs arranged. Anyone know? Thanks Ben.

My '97 Disco 1 has been on the drive for a year while i slowly work through the list of MOT failures. I thought it would take me a fortnight at most - unfortunately work and life keep getting in the way. So, my question is - other than the flat bettery, is there anything I should be looking...

In the middle of replacing all callipers and discs on my disco 1. Having a bit of a nightmare splitting the discs and hubs - they are well and truly rusted together. Any tips on getting them apart? I've tried lashings of WD40 and my biggest hammer. Any other ideas? Thanks

Just wondering what the recommended repair method would be for sills in the below state? Cut out and slot in box section? Patch over holes? YRM repair panels? If YRM panels then will the patches that have been welded on by a previous owner need to be cut out as they sit slightly proud of the...

Hi all, Just looking to get my sills and boot floor welded up to get me through an MOT. I have cut out all the rot and got everything cleaned up ready - i can even get all the steel cut to size for me. I was planning on learning to use the welder i have bought and doing it myself but the...

Hi all. In the quest to get the cost of having my discovery welded brought down from the first quote of £1700 I have had another quote - but if I remove the boot floor and sills first. So my question is can i drive it about 5 miles without the boot floor, boot sides and both sills? Or will...

Just got myself a 1997 300tdi discovery - and i love it. Few minor niggles but thats why i bought one, i like keeping busy! Apart from the bias plate and some body work bubbling it seems in good overall condition. The only problem was mild overheating on the motorway when i pushed it past...
