Just a tip on the oil pump bolt, make sure you can remove the crossmember bolts before you do anything else, like drain the oil. I managed 3 of the 8 bolts, the rest are fubar'd.

You were warned....................before hand.....LOL............:p:p, have you not done that little job yet?

Cheers

Yes mate, your all welcome ;)
Asking my dad for the use of the pit is like asking him to raise the titanic!! Major operation and I'm the only one to ever use it! :rolleyes:

Hi ER1C,
No the bumper has a area of approx 2" by 3" of plastic missing near the r/h/s/ headlight spray, which is also missing!

I believe the purple tape is in remeberance and a show of support for a young lady around this way, Coalville, who was groomed then murdered! Every one who was bothered placed a small purple ribbon/token on their property/vehicle in a show of solidarity well, thats the only reason I believe its there for anyway??
 
Less than a week into ownership of the Green Goddess I have attended to a few of the issues she had and made some minor improvements!

1- Replaced broken Dvr mirror for £20, bargin!
2- Replaced handbrake gator, much nicer!
3- Headlight and side light upgraded, whiter light!
4- Fitted 4x "Land Rover" wheel hubs, no nasty holes!
5- Replaced 18 year old speakers with 4x FLi's, massive sound differance!
6- New stereo to complement new speakers!
7- Fitted 4x window wind deflectors, can crack the windows at speed now! (no air-con)

Jobs I am looking to doing;

1- Look in more into the EGR replacement?
2- Check prop-shaft for grease nipples?
3- Check if oil-pump bolt lock tighted in position?
4- ECU remap? :D Needs ripping out, 99 model :rolleyes:
5- Investigate electric noise on start up from rear of vehicle, fuel pump??
6- Why are front fog lights connected to the main beam??
7- Clean underneeth and apply wax oil
8- Investigate M S D flashing error, cleared it by reversing but, happend after selecting 1-2-3 on my auto box??
9- Fix chip on window, might get gavin to use his special resin :p
10- Fix broken/cracked bumper
11- Deep clean through out, was a horsey car by the looks of it o_O lol...

Thats all i can think of for now lol have to do it now ive written it down ;)

Thank you everybody who provided invaluable advice which has allowed me (hopefully) to make a more informed decision!

Hoping to continue my Disco journey and be a active member on here posting updates and obviously inevitable issues as and when time allows.

Cheers


No sunroofs? if none you are a very wise man indeed.
