The Disco went for the MOT yesterday. It passed but with advisories on the brake lines corroding and slight play in the rear wheel bearings. All good really as I knew about the brake lines already. Whilst there I also got an oil and filter change done and asked them to replace a core plug, do...

Managed to pick myself up a new straight through mid pipe and new back box section for the 3.9 Disco. Just now trying to decide whether to just fit the straight through pipe and back box section as it is, or whether I really should chop the mid pipe and stick a Cherry Bomb in there. What d'ya...

Went to change the shocks, springs and brake pads on the Disco today. Front went fine with new Terrafirma shocks and HD springs fitted, with Ferodo pads stuck in the calipers. Went to do the rear though and encountered 2 problems. 2 pretty big problems: The rear shock top mount bolt sheared...

I have been starting to look in to this leak I have noticed on the Disco 1 (it's the 3.9 V8). I had noticed a clear fluid leak on the floor when I have moved the car from where it is parked, either just after starting up or when returning home. I got the front of the car up on ramps this...

Since getting my 3.9 V8 Disco 1 I had noticed there was a leak at the front somewhere. When I noticed it I put my finger in it and it wasn't oil, but I wasn't totally sure what it was. But then today after a week away I went to start the car up, let it run a couple of minutes to try start to...

Going to be removed from my Discovery 1 3.9 V8 in the next couple of days. In good used condition as I dont think the Disco ever saw mud or lanes. Here they are on the Disco. Will take more photos once removed. PRICE: £60

Just taken off my 1998 Discovery 1 3.9 V8 I have a set of 4 Land Rover alloy wheels with tyres on. The wheels are in pretty reasonable condition I would say. Tyres are a mixed bunch of road tyres. Will confirm the brands and tread depths once the snow stops and I can take some time to check each...

Just found another quirk of my Disco 1 that I just bought; It is the ES model with electric heated front seats and the passenger seat will not move backwards. It goes forwards but not backwards......... so before long when people try move it, it will be stuck in the furthest forward position...

Am totally new to Land Rovers and 4x4's in general and am a little confused about the diff box and how to use it properly. I think I am right in saying the "L" selection is for very steep hills and sand, where you are at low speed. And "H" selection is for added grip but at higher speeds so...

Just picked up my 3.9 V8 Disco 1 but want / need some bits for it: Roof rack - preferably a large front to back one Rear door ladder Wheels and tyres - preferably modular wheels with tyres that are not 100% road focused Light bar Bull bars or maybe heavy duty bumpers Steering & diff...

Well here it is. Just been and collected this today. Its a 1998 Discovery 1 3.9 V8 SE with a mere 67k on the clock (which checks out on the VOSA MOT reports). Condition all looks fairly good. Usual few little chips and scratches, roof lining sagging a little due to previous sunroof...

Just in the process of buying my first 4x4, a 1998 Disco 1 3.9 V8. Hoping to collect it next weekend. It looks in excellent condition and seems pretty standard other than side steps, and has really low mileage. Although it looks good as it is, it wasn't really my intention to buy a really good...
