Hi from Disco Phil

Hello there!

I'm Phil from the West Country and I have this wonderful contraption:







Having paid a pittance for it I then found I had to spend a LOT on it to get it through the MOT. Many thanks to Matt of Nippon Tune for three solid weeks of welding at mates-rates and for taking the dive of "learning Landrover" instead of Jap Performance!

Spec:

• 1995 300TDI Discovery 1
• 2" lift on riser blocks standard shocks and springs (yes it's awful but I didn't do it)
• Clipped arches with custom fabricated plyjean arch liners
• Winch bumper (as yet no winch)
• Custom fabricated tubular rear bumper
• Modulars with big Goodyear Wrangler dirt tyres
• Full diff, gear box, transfer box etc high level breathers
• High lift jack bolted to bonnet
• Set of shackles from a sandstone mine
• Custom fabricated high-level side exit exhaust
• Proper safari snorkel
• No interior, stripped out, rust treated/repaired and fully hammerited
• CB
• Dodgy gearbox (will replace it at some point)
• Scratched, dinged, dented and scabby bodywork in a sort of green/blue colour
• Intermittent central locking
• Dodgy passenger door (wont open from outside sometimes)
• Diff guards
• Steering guard
• Leaking power steering box (just keep topping it up!)
• Smokey engine sometimes, generally on max vacuum (fluttered throttle)
• Clunk from front somewhere (no not the CV or bearings, done all them)
• Roof light bar (will get some lights on it at some point having sold the old ones)
• Chunky high amp battery
• Some dodgy engine bay wiring to the temp sensor that looks like it was on fire at one point
• Did I mention rubbish bodywork?
• New wheel bearings all round
• Complete new fluids all round baring gearbox cus I scared it might break it completely
• Loads of tow rope and other such stuff in the boot, really must get round to making some storage in there
• Dirty seats
• Lots of smiles
• Lets go disco
• Round here we pick up farmers on the CB... BRILLIANT!
