hi, ive recently aquired a '95 disco 1, 3 door (very cheap from family member) and have a few questions;

1. ABS light is on, rain has hampered investigation but high on the to do list. any common issues i should be aware of?

2. the 2 windows up on the corner of the roof at the rear are leaking, glass is fine, can i get replacement seals and are they difficult to fit? (not sure on how long they have been leaking but im guessing the boot floor will need replacing, havent had chance to check yet)

3. the rear quarter window seals are perished, as above, where can i get replacement seals and any tips on how to fit?

any replies / advice are much appreciated. regards, Steve.

the easiest way to remove the alpine window seals is drive through the monkey enclosure at longleat. little bastards. they are also good at re-modelling your spare wheel cover
