Nope not cheap at all!!I just had a quick search they are not cheap
Hmm
Might have to wait after the new side steps and other fings
It was at the time when most beers were keg carp, and thanks to the much maligned CAMRA, the British beer brewing industry was saved, just in time, and you can now get decent beer all over the country. I was living in Bath at the time and you had to go far and wide to find decent stuff. Watneys red barrel etc was the rubbish of the day.
Hey OP, looks really nice and clean! Did you really want the third row of seats? I have those in 2 discos but much prefer the side bins, they are so useful for tools and spares (oh blast, just gave it all away!)
Like the idea of the rack, but do know quite a few other people whose racks have cost lots, those implants are not cheap!

She is mint!
I do ferry a good few people around all the time so the 7 seats are needed, weirdly

Have u got a tardis then , as that going back in time , snigger
Yeh i know I’m being pedantic , lol
Happy days mate and look forward to the thread , is this the 5 x cyl straight Diesel engine in these plse
Still can’t get over how clean and tidy that looks considering it’s age , looks a keeper that’s for sure
Has the chassis been treated yet or is that on the cards

wish i had a time machine lol
Yep she's the 5 pot 2.5 136hp and 315nm
Lol, thks, u know I haven’t got a clue of what the BHP or NM is on mine
The discovery do they also call them series 1-2-3 , reason I ask is I thought I saw something like that on the back of a D2 but not 100%
Plus decided my next project is to remove the bonnet letters , already done the tailgate
How’s ur list going by the way , service first or other plans

Uh yes mine has a "series II" badge on the back, quite smart IMHO
I think all Dizzie 2's have them
The D3 does suit a debadge
shiny too you've defo put some glamour in the Disco "pun intended"
Service first then tidy the underside up.
Then some OEM+ upgrades I'd like to add a coolbox in the boot
Dual battery setup etc etc
Some cosmetic stuff too
No offroad shyte though, they're perfectly capable in stock format
Indeed , think the only mod is the tyres isn’t it for off roading , or maybe sump guards
Does ur have the ACE and diff locks , hope u don’t mind me asking , just interested
Found these the other day which I thought may be useful , apologises if you’ve already seen them ,

Cheers and thks for putting up with me asking questions , good u have the ACE
Great the links will hopefully be of use, just thought there was a lot of technical data there and as always like to share the links so it helps others
Having the ACE does that also mean it has the CDL, read where some had it but some just didn’t have the lever fitted
wish i had a time machine lol
Yep she's the 5 pot 2.5 136hp and 315nm
All ur fault as I just had a look ref D3 data , lol
191 PS / 188 bhp / 140 kW @ 4000 rpm
440 Nm / 325 ft.lb / 44.9 kgm @ 1900 rpm
D3 Engine weighs 205 kg, Christ that’s nearly 1/4 ton, u know the engines are bloody heavy but to be honest never gave it a thought

Id handled well for a big 4x4
The throttle peddle travel is about a foot long so it feels sluggish until you realise the pedal takes a good prod to get going
