    Disco 1 on portals

    Basically it's a double acting hydraulic cylinder ie the chrome rod sticks out of both sides. As it says above forklifts have used it for years. I believe that you can't use full power hydraulic steering on the road in this country unless it's for agriculture like those telehandler forklifts...

    To name or not to name?....

    Mine is called Christine after the Stephen King book because she tried to kill my mate twice! A brake pipe burst as we approached the Dartford Tunnel traffic after picking her up, and he lost brakes. We pulled into the services and butchered it to get home, he lowered the window to pay the toll...

    Weirdest snorkel I've ever seen!

    I saw this dude at a pay and play day at Bures pit. It was amusing. He did have an air filter on the end of it complete with airbox!!

    lift kit

    The tyres conundrum is an old questions. There is a sticky on the Discovery specific forum. As for the lift kit, My first Disco 300 had +2" spacers front and rear. Not only are they cheaper but you can also use the standard shock so you save there too. I removed the anti roll bars on it aswell...

    Breaking Discovery 1 300Tdi ES

    I know it's only a small thing but I need an indicator bulb holder for the front. I'm in Essex so I don't mind collecting to save you the hassle of postage. Are the wheels and tyres and snorkel available or are you keeping those too?

    Disco Door springs How-to...

    I did my drivers door last night in the dark with a torch, very fiddly and took about 2 hours. I only had one door working so I had to do something drastic before none of them worked! Going to attempt passenger front door tonight.

    Adrian Flux - Policy Issue Fee

    They have just striped me up for that too!!! They re-insured my car from last year without asking me in August. It's only because I noticed the money missing from my bank account that I knew. They added a £15 for "personal injury insurance" that apparently I opted into. After a phone...
