    D1 abs

    Just read the owners manual, it would appear that I'm trying to find a fault which doesn't exist Not had the D1 for long and the last mot failed on the abs being on so I assumed there was a fault, but I was wrong. Thanks @backinblack

    D1 abs

    That video above is during a flash/bleep test. In normal dad to day, the light illuminates then goes out and comes back on, to me that says it's done it's checks and found a fault? Then as I said above it'll go out after a mile or two. Is that normal?

    Hi, I've got the abs light on, I does go out with a drive. I've done the sequence to diagnose the fault but I'm getting a funny flash pattern.

    Wanted Boot floor

    Does anyone have a section of a new boot floor panel spare that I could buy to repair mine in my disco 1? The rest of the floor is ok so I'm reluctant to buy a full floor and the sections I've found on eBay are front, middle or rear. I need to buy the side lip panel probably from yrm along with...

    I had to buy a 30mm ring spanner for the upper arm ball joint. The new springs may be shorter but stiffer so will compress less.

    I had no idea of timescale, I read from start to finish in one go lol. I'm thinking keeping them original is a good idea, I'm getting mine on the road soon and have a winch bumper for it but I may stick with the standard one after a lick of paint.

    It's been a good read, sad about the accident damage but you did a good job with fixing it . Hope the new suspension sorts your wobble. Looking forward to the next update

    That's not a bad idea, I didn't have to weld that panel, if I need to replace the steering box I'll consider cutting it out and replacing it like you said

    Had the interior out and check for water leaks, found one from the wiring loom grommet on the passenger footwell and the top of the windscreen, sealed both with body sealant and we are leak-less at the moment, even the sunroofs are dry, although they are sealed up and has gaffer tape over the...

    Little bits here and there, just got to tidy up a previous repair on the rear arches for the mot. Most of that hole was filled with body filler Didn't get a finished pic but that's a plate I cut for it. Not sure how to fix the ally part of the outer panel, maybe cut it out and rivet a ally...
