Now sold.I have a set of solid discs, pads, oil seals and pad fittings for sale if anyone is interested. The pad fittings are the split pin and springs type. They are still in the boxes, which are a bit bashed courtesy of a courier that had the raging hump with me :). Looking for £40 Ono for...

Haven't posted for a while after moving house, wife having a baby, and my Disco behaving itself. Until Monday when around half a mile from home something went bang. Pictures below show the culprit. Meet the new compact rocker shaft that comes in four pieces! :eek: Looks like one of the centre...

The wife just showed me this website she found while looking for ideas for Christmas. Drover Cars superior ride-on child's "Little Landrover" Childrens Model Electric Vehicles And Kids Battery Operated Cars The ironic thing is, she's never been hugely into Landrovers, until she saw this site...

My 300 EDC auto started playing up intermittently on cold starts recently. ie if left overnight, sometimes it will start immediately, other times it turns, fires then dies straight away taking a fair few repeated cranks, and flooring of the throttle to get it to "catch". This has only happened...

Bracing for the abuse here, but I just can't work this out. I have no idea if I need to be checking my new wheels have the right offset for my vehicle. In fact I can't get my head around how offset can be worked out for my wheels :doh: Having got my disco 300 through the mot, I fancied getting...

Sitting in a cafe across the road from the garage while my Disco is being MOT'd for the first time since I acquired it last year. I hate MOT day!! Anyone else get the feeling of doom when theirs is due?? Lol

One thing seems to lead to another just lately....I had the bonnet up checking my oil, etc today, and noticed a hissing, from the small egr vac pipe on the T piece of the hard brake servo vacum pipe. The rubber elbow on the small EGR pipe is shot, which is not a problem as I removed my EGR a...

I've got some vague idea from searching about, and asking around, but just wanted an opinion from anyone who may have ditched the spring isolator rings from their discos rear suspension. Does it make a great difference to vibration if not fitted? Also I think I may need some spring compressors...

First off, I've searched for an answer, but buggered if I can find one! :confused: I've just bought new springs, and shocks and will be doing them myself. It's the first time I've attempted it so I want to make sure I do it right. I've got the rear shock bushes etc and checking through...

Bought these from the fleabay, to try to brighten up the dingey interior lighting/ courtesy lights. Makes a huge difference. Really bright, and at £2.50 for both, twas a reet bargain. Plus they are plug and play. Someone else had mentioned these on a build thread but can't remember who it was...

Well, seeing as it was nice today, and I had a day off, I thought I would do some rust investigation, and also try to seal up some leaks that the recent storms had shown up. Ended up finding this little gem, buried under a load of sealant. Great! bottom top and a handy tyre tread...

Trawling through Fleabay and found this! I can't see that ever getting caught or snagged on anything! :crazy::crazy::

I've never really welded before, but bought myself a mig today from a mate. I want to start thinking about getting to work on the bits of tin worm after I've had some practice. As a starter I want to sort out the inner arches at the front. i pulled some of the plastic arch liner trim clips and...

Changed my timing belt yesterday evening on my 300 tdi Disco. Dropped the rad, for better access and drained the coolant. Everything fine until refilling the coolant. Bloody plastic bleed screw snapped on top of the thermostat housing pouring coolant everywhere. It's 1930 by now, where the hell...

Hi all, Aquired an 1995 auto 300tdi Disco 1 at the weekend. For 18 years old it's mechanically good and took me back down the M1 to home with no problems. Was a business mans vehicle, got a full service history covering up to last year, various invoices etc showing what it's had done to it...

Serviced the wagon a few days ago and renewed the points, condensor coil etc. Timed the ignition by ear and on checking with strobe it's between 6 and 3 degrees btdc. Left the vehicle running whilst checking the lights and electrics as the mot needs doing. Vehicle started to sound lumpy to say...

Currently repairing my 1981 SWB 2 1/4 petrol in preparation for its first MOT with me as its owner (don't hold out much hope!),after some scrote tried to nick it before Christmas. After, turning the air blue removing the shear bolts from the mashed ignition barrell casing, I was looking at...

My series 3 is giving me a headache at the moment. Its a 1981 SWB 2 1/4 petrol. When I bought it last month, it started to kangaroo and lurch on the way home. Since getting it back, I have, changed the carb for a shiny new one, changed the fuel lines, plugs, checked the tank for crud, and...

I picked up my series 3 today, (1981 88' SWB 2.25 petrol) and whilst driving home, it started "kangarooing" in 3rd and 4th gear when accelerating, before spluttering and cutting out. :doh: Wouldnt restart, until I had left it for 10 minutes or so. It would then restart and drive a short...

Hello everyone! I am as my user name states very new to the landrover scene. For many years I have wanted to own a landrover, and finally I am in a position to do so. I am currently looking at a 1981 series 3, 2.25 petrol not far from me, rebuilt in 2000 on a galvanised chassis. I viewed...
