Right. So this cam would affect the central locking system? possibly by not operating the micro switch effectively?

On closer inspection after putting it back together I noticed the cam/collar on the back of the lock barrel was damaged with a section missing. Would this stop the lock from activating the actuator as I’m now not convinced the actuator is broken.

Thanks Europa. I might well do that, chance for a proper service. Good to know I’m on the right lines.

I’m trying to fix the dreaded lock spring on a 3 door disco 1. The configuration on all the videos seems different to mine. Can anyone tell me, to remove the lock mechanism do I need to raise the window runners. I think I’ve done the necessary linkages but cat get the lock out. ( maybe I missed...

Hi Shippers. Yes a friend in Spain mentioned doing mods in Spain is not that simple, another good reason to leave it alone. As for the license I need to get onto that, thanks

Thanks for all the encouraging and supportive comments, glad I joined! Interesting reading about the LT230, it sounds like that might be my first job but I’ll need a second opinion before I do anything rash.

That’s great advice, sound like I’ve got to do a bit of research. Appreciate the comments.

Wise words Wise words for sure. I’m going to get someone who knows a bit to see if it’s something I should be worried about.

Thanks for the encouraging words. It is a pretty tidy motor and I’ll try and resist any unnecessary mods but I’d be interested in what you know about AT tyres, It’s just the excitement of having an amazing vehicle. Cheers for the comment

That’s quite reassuring! Thanks

Hi all. Very new to this but excited about acquiring a 1992 Disco 1 with 200k on the clock. Yes I know but you have to start somewhere and I like the fact that being a bit older I won’t be so scared of tinkering. I live near Leicester but the Disco was gifted to me and my buddy by a gentleman...
