Yes, Me & my Mrs slept in the back of the disco & found it quite comfy. Our dog(rip) woke us up at 3am growling at the sheep that had surrounded us.

+1

I had a similar problem with my disco ,I changed the lift pump & it felt smoother but the starting issue was still there. I put a new battery on & now it starts first time.

I've just installed this dog guard , Fits nice and it's a 5 min job. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251525619342

Yes Dayco is OEM, not worth the hassle fitting the cheap part. My chirp came back instantly with the cheap ones but nothing with the Dayco . 20 min job on my 300 , 15mm ring spanner is all that's needed :)

Thermostat ? Cheap & easy to replace

Get a Dayco one , worth the extra cash

Just changed mine (Disco1) with a Dayco tensioner and belt. No more chirping

With my Disco, I might have to put the diff lock into low then N then back into low. Usually then it'll light up.

Normal springs are fine

With my headlights(300 disco) it takes about 2 mins to chance headlight & sidelight bulb. I just hit the bottom corner of the headlight and it pops out. Easy pips

Pull that one off too :)

Bulb has blown , the 2 outside knobs on the heater control unit . Pull them both off and you'll see some screws . Undo them and you'll see where to replace the bulbs.

Changed the fan belt tensioner (Dayco) & fan belt. Very easy job

Exactly the same symptoms as I had on my disco tdi , bought a new stalk off eBay. No probs now

On my door ladder , easy to fit & cheap.

This is what I've used in the past (work) http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=160881319690

Hate them , terrible turning circle .

Yes please , lots of pics would be great.
