Liking the wagon wheel plinth thingy for flattening, the English wheel sounds is if it will help but who knows until you try it....

That looks old - has it got WD with an arrow stamped on it?

Wondered what you were up to - was missing my online fettling and fabricating lessons :)

Great stuff, keep the updates coming!

Tangent = angle? I looked at the Zircon and thought it's bent at a bit of an angle BTW the welding trolley looks useful, should be better to have all the gear in one place

I think the grotty bashed zincor is heading off on a bit of a tangent :)

Tangents are good and usually quite entertaining

Have you adjusted the bump stop on the underside of the bonnet itself? My bonnet wouldn't close properly on my Disco 3 and this fixed it in a few seconds.

Still following the thread with interest - what's the variable speed gear box for?

Blimmin' marvellous, keep the updates coming!

You should keep the packaging as part of your "Provenance" :)

I replaced one of mine on my old disco 2 with an OEM one and wished I done for the heavy duty ones. IIRC on the ones you are looking at you can replace just the ball joints if they go again

Thanks very much lynal, that's really helpful. I'm on the dico3 forum, looks pretty straightforward - I might just have a bash at making one. Managed to get my stuck towbar freed off, all fettled and copper slipped now so works fine.

Thanks lynall, the tow bar is sloppy at the moment to say the least so need to be able to remove it to fettle it and see if its engaging properly. Will have a look at the the spare wheel too

Thanks - want to get the blimmin' thing off first so I can have a gander.

Part ex'd the Disco 2 for a Disco 3 - early days yet but well pleased so far

So I've got a new Disco 3 and the removable tow bar is stuck. The red key turns but the green unlocking knob won't turn - any ideas?

Ahh - didn't realise rust isn't magnetic, fascinating project, keep the updates coming

Been following this thread for ages as it's one of the best. If you've been cleaning steel can you use a magnet to pick up some of the "sacrificed" material?
