    P38A Sidelight front

    doing a google for STC2994 I found a couple of places the other side of the atlantic that don't immediately list them out of stock Or a little closer in Belgium, you can get 6 and hold the UK monopoly on them http://www.britishlandroverparts.be/bulb-holder-bulb-side-lamp-stc2994.html

    Disco 1 Rear prop doughnut

    define straightforward! The diff input will require a swap too, from 3bolt donut to 4bolt UJ IIRC. Not something I have done personally.

    Disco 1 Rear prop doughnut

    Many/all 300tdi Discos are donutted, 200s had UJs. Certainly the case for me, every 300tdi disco had rubber, and all the 200s proper joints. Never owned a V8 disco so can't comment if powerplant made any difference. As for the OP, yeah, I would be changing that ASAP, dropping a prop end and...

    Who has Skytag?

    I have a rather aged TK102 glued to an alpine light and a power feed from the courtesy lights, and an asda prepay sim, £7 a month gets 500mb data and unlimited sms, I barely come close to 500mb data a month on my smartphone. Looking to upgrade to one of the newer TK103s with decent external...

    Who has Skytag?

    Hence my suggestion that tile tag may be better. Most of the GSM ones can also be real-time mapped via GPRS/3G, and personally, I have never had to wait for more than a few seconds for a response except when I have known the vehicle was not in cell range. The only time I have ever really...

    Who has Skytag?

    Nah, get TileTags. same system and far more users I believe, meaning a better chance of finding it. They work like ml bluetooth keyring, which alerts me that it is lost even when keys are sat next to the damn phone. El- heapo TK102 or similar, prepay asda sim, done. Less than 30quid initial...

    Disco 1 200tdi vs 300tdi

    300tdi engine was not just about price, but euro emissions requirements. Hence the EGR and later fly by wire throttle control. fitting a standard stereo into a 200 can require force, digging down to trim soundproofing, or having a stereo that plain just doesn't fit, especially if opting for a...

    Watertight cabling for rear work light

    The multiple skins is why I opted for the simple bung option.

    Disco 2 Replacement front seats

    Only that I see it done all the time on Wheeler Dealers and similar shows.

    Disco 2 Replacement front seats

    D1 would take RRC classic seats with a bit of fettling and removing door pockets sometimes., I never had any trouble just buying single seats from breakers, regular variety breakers rather than specialis LR/Disco ones. The other option is "universal" fit Recaro/Sparco style sports seats. Have...

    Disco I II III maybe a Freelander or something else??

    One plus point for the picasso (and there is only one), people with newer driving licences can likely tow your small caravan. Certainly a Disco, anyone who doesnt have +E on their licence is going to be limited to trailer tents, or very very light caravans. Freelander, well you can go have a...

    Fuel filter??

    Did you smear fresh fuel over the sealing ring?

    Disco 2 Front bumper foglight options

    The beam pattern from a foglight is a combination of reflector shape and lens pattern. They generally have a shield in front of the actual bulb to prevent direct lighting. So an LED with its own lens would possibly not show much light at all, or if there is no shield, would display the wrong...

    Disco 2 Headlamp bulb upgrade

    Yellow glasses for night driving. Makes a world of difference, even when badly adjusted headlamps, or even when granny with her highbeams on approach.

    lifting out engine.

    Not sure about td5, but on D1...... remove rear prop, place transmission jack, unbolt centre x-member and lower the jack a little so the whole lot tilts.to allow access to the upper bolts on bellhousing. I found it easiest to use every wobble extension bar I had so I was effectively working...

    Disco 2 Jerry Can Holders

    Bolts? Welding? Not convinced personally. 20 litre can full of fuel is going to be the best part of 20kg weight, making for a very heavy door and very strained hinges. Also, a piece of cake to drain whilst just loitering, rather than clambering up to the roof. definitely not a recommendation...

    Disco 1 Discovery 300tdi electrics

    Windows work through their own controller in passenger footwell. I too have a dud switch but rarely have folks in the back so it can stay that way.

    Disco 2 Jerry Can Holders

    https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/jerry-can-vehicle-bracket-2/ Unless you consider £26 too pricey. Perhaps a 2nd hand VanVault type box? I certainly wouldn't want to rely on just ratchet straps given the price of fuel.
