Hola peeps! I'm looking for a new toy, ideally something falling broadly into the category "Battered to hell series something-or-other (soft-top would be nice), but with some MOT (tax optional)" Let's see where this goes! :)

Looking for a driver's side rear door, or pair of rear doors for a Disco 1 (300 tdi ES). I almost have the old girl back on the road but still haven't got around to fixing the shattered rear driver's side glass. Given that the rear electric windows have never worked since the day I bought her I...

Anyone know where I can pick up an alternator for my 300tdi (Part No. AMR 4248) at a reasonable price? Everything on fleabay is £100+ right now and I need to save as much as I can for the battery I need to go with it I'd happily go with a used one if you have an old one lying around in the...

Pulling my hair out now! :mad: MPS and Paddock are both having issues with stock due to supplier change-over, there's nothing on fleabay and now I'm struggling to find this part (apparently YRM don't have the tools to make it either). Any suggestions where I might be able to find one (5...

About 18 months ago my company car arrived, at about the same time as the big red 300 brick's MOT and tax expired. With work commitments increasing I didn't have the time to prep for an MOT so she's be SORN'd ever since. Last week Mrs Dufty decided that at fou*cough*ty years of age it's time...

She's been leaking ATF for a while now but on Friday the big red beast decided to blow a hose and dump the remaining oil all over the engine bay :doh: Managed to limp home at 5mp for the last mile or so (phew) and ordered a set of hoses and a gallon of ATF. Today I started the replacement...

Just started the drive to work the other morning and as I turned right at the roundabout 1/2 a mile from my house there was a weird, highish-pitched mechanical sound from the engine bay and my power steering failed. Next thing I know I'm almost on the roundabout (luckily my brakes still worked...

I've touched on this a couple of times in the past but it's getting close to being a reality so I need some sound advice please. Due to my accident a few years ago I can now only drive an auto, with hand controls. The hand controls are easy to sort (Jeff Gosling are nearby and they did my...

It's that time again and I've just waited, with baited breath, as Red had her annual inspection. Think I was less worried when my first child was being delivered. Certainly less when the second arrived. I allowed myself a wee grin when the smoke test came in at 0.47 /m (EGR blanked and a...

Noticed a small leak under the car this morning, traces of red fluid dripping from the auto oil cooler hose so I need to replace before it gets too bad and explodes all over the engine bay! Had a good mooch and I've found a few freds about asking a pneumatics company to replace the hose and...

So the annual panic is almost upon me and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a Disco-friendly MOT centre in Derby? I was going to use Shardlow 4x4 but after they replaced my cam belt and forgot to properly re-seat the serpentine belt causing it to jump off as I drove home (made a proper...

Sat outside the supermarket just now in monsoon type rain and just happened to glance over at the passenger door as a drop of water fell from (just inside and above) the door-seal. Gutted! Looks like I'll be spending a weekend cozying up with the headlining :doh:

The stage is set. Official Sponsors have been approached and I've spoken to the Royal Association for Disabled Rights (RADAR) who are over the moon at being selected as our chosen benefactors. Now comes the tricky task of route planning.

As with many other Discos of this era, my rear windows have stopped working. I've read about the usual 'dry solder' fix but when I opened my glove box to remove the PBC, I was kinda surprised to find it's not there :eek: Can't find a reference to this in my workshop manual and wondered if...

When I bought my 300 she came with a built-in kid-killer (full wrap around 'Bull bars') which I've hated since day 1 but didn't have time to sort. Well, tonight I bit the bullet and after wrestling with some random nut sizes (4x 14mm bolts, 3 with 15mm nuts ^^) and recalling that there's little...

Heya, Now the hand controls are installed, I need to permanently lower the suspension on my '95 Disco by approximately 1" - 1.5" to aid with entering/exiting the vehicle. I've searched these hallowed halls and found loads of references to the series 2's air suspension but I'm struggling to find...

For as long as I can remember I've wanted a landie, but somehow I never got around to it. Something about having a wife and kids made a Series 1 with a nicely battered canvas roof seem like an expensive toy! Well, fortune smiled on me this week when I was told my new company car (unfortunately...
