planned to be changing the 4 doors over to the mint set I have. figured about an hour each to count for any problems 5 hours later I have finally got thee drivers one fitted and working :mad:
 
As garage was clear started to strip and survey Discovery 300tdi for rust inspection. And weld new sections. Thought being a 1998 it wouldn't be that bad.....

New drop links and a bump stop on the S2 Disco.
Stupid question...
Why are there no flats on the ball joint side of the drop link.
Makes getting the rusty ones off a right bugger. Had to get the hack saw out and cut them both off....
New ones have flat spots (17mm) all greased up and done.....
Mudguards tomorrow if I can figure out how to get the old sheared bolts out.
 
I drove it !!!!

also changed water pump, got three fan belts from motor factors to identify the correct length, and worked out where the puddle of brake fluid is coming from...er...
 
got another D1 to look after now. so started off with air and fuel filter and both axle oils changed. just need to get the engine oil and filter changed along with the box oils.
 
The day of the defender is looming. Sad stuff. Devastating in fact.


However, I'm sure parts manufacturing will live on. Which brings me to my main point. What's to stop any of us buying up parts, galvanised chassis, engines, body panels etc from new of the shelf parts. And building a defender in our back gardens. Can we not register it and get a chassis number issued for it. Thus creating a new land rover which, after this year, will no longer be manufactured in the UK.

So can we not continue manufacturing at a more personal level?
 
broke down in the work D1 today lost all but 4th gear so looks like mine is back to work tomorrow.
got my window back on the grip at the bottom so hopefully I have the use of my window back without needing both hands to lift it then push the button to get it closed
 
ummm looked underneath my disco 1 i just bought fearing the worst ... and being suprised it only needs 3 welding jobs ... ok 4 .... ok ok 5 welding jobs :doh:
 
Just ordered some more bolt on goodies, just need a couple of nice.days to fit em,hopefully getting my new to me tyres fitted tomorrow or Saturday and just won a allisport cyclone breather,just need a fuel tank for my other 90 then its ready for mot :)
 
drove mine 400miles. half towing 700kg car trailer the other half with an atoz on the trailer and it drank just under a tank. don't think that was too bad concidering the couple of duracell cars that I had to throw some soot at :D
 
another 400 miles done a few more duracells sooted at.
anyone on here with a black/dark blue D1 with a light bar that has waved at me while towing. seen the same one today and yesterday around bicester oxford area
