Hi all - my new (to me) 1999 Td5 Disco ES is very lovely in every way except for a lack of 'balls' or 'guts'. It starts on the button with very little smoke, runs smoothly and generally seems happy except that acceleration is what I would describe as pedestrian. Pulling away is painfully slow...

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge of retrofitting a full air con system to a 300 Disco? What is involved, how much work? Are the electrics all in place or does it need a special loom? Cheers, Langers :D

Cheers - yes she is 'majestic' in the way only a 20 foot long Landy can be!! I'm trying to put as much detail into the videos as possible without making them dull... I think handy tips and tricks and interesting info is the way to go with it :) Hahaha that made me chuckle... we tend to get a...

Hi all, as above - think it's the same as the 110 with the combined anchor/inertia reel bracket. I'm near Dover, Kent and will collect if you're local enough! :p :rolly:

Episode 2! :) Land Rover 127 Rebuild/Resto - PLUS Sankey Trailer - Episode 2 This is bits that I've managed to do over the last couple of weeks, including a bit of work on my sankey field kitchen trailer. :D

Ah right - yeah I have one article about it here in LRM.

Certainly has, have you had experience with this truck personally then?

That's the hope :D Will do, next video will be in about a week! :D Cheers, hopefully won't disappoint! :p Cheers mate :) Will try and remember to take pics when I'm working on her!

Well, I've begun the resto on my 1985 127 - which is going to be documented in YouTube series. Episode 1: - 04/04/15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgturiA9xes Episode 2: - 19/04/15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTQSZKdzUgU I'll also take pictures and post up in between videos.

This is why the 130 will be getting a full external cage before going anywhere! Was the bloke alright?

Typically the eccentric fuel pin will be set about halfway between min and max from the factory. In order to get maximum fuel on boost you need to rotate it so that the deepest part of the pin faces directly towards the front of the vehicle. The star wheel is more difficult to reset to...

No idea - I'll have to take it out and strip it probably. I had the cover plate off the Salisbury and it seemed like the side gears weren't engaging in properly - as when I poked them with a long screwdriver they pushed in and locked the halfshaft to the diff centre. Wonder if the preload...

Intruiging. Do you get any smoke at all under acceleration? When was the cambelt last changed? It's possible it could have been set up incorrectly when it was last changed, or slipped slightly, and is a tooth or two out - causing the timing to be slightly out. That would explain the lack of...

I did (learn the hard way)... annoying thing is, I would have been fine had I entered the water a bit slower. Ah well! :p

Interesting r.e. the Detroit + truetrac, that's my planned set-up for my 130. Currently there's a problem with the Detroit though, I can't get any drive out of it, just a clicking noise. Any ideas?

Land Rover probably found that with a locker fitted, the Rover axles weren't up to the job and kept breaking. It would have involved developing and producing uprated axle components and would probably have added considerably to the price of the vehicle at a time when they were already being...

Maybe look at a light duty Terrafirma kit then? Terrafirma 2 Inch Lift Kit - Light Duty Disco 1 Defender 90 Classic Range Rover Had a set for my old 110 and the ride was super soft and comfortable. Not the best choice for road handling though :D

They have open front and rear differentials and a locking centre differential as standard - same as a Defender.

Excellent bit of kit if you only want to work on your own LR. More than slightly annoying that you have to pay extra for each additional vehicle you want it to work on - which means you're unlikely to be able to help everyone else out with it unless you buy the full package. For similar money...

What vehicle is it? land rover spring specifications - spring rates for most Land Rover types.
