HI i,ve never worked on disco abs systems but i work on abs systems on trucks & trailers & the sensors have to pick up their signal from an exciter ring usually mounted on the inside of the hub. as well as the sensors i would check the condition of the exciter rings as faults with either of...

Mad Hat Man you are a star i will take some pics as soon as i can thanks again Snoops

Thanks again mad hat man for such a quick reply, if you could tell me how i can get these drawings that would be fantastic. Have you ever come acroos the price for the said headlight adjusters as it seems steep to me, i would expect to pay that sort of money for the adjusters on automatic...

Hi all finnally got round to replacing the headlights on my 200 today, thought everything was going to well & then it all went t**ts up. Found my original headlight adjuster screws were a lot longer than the donor headlights i had acquired, that i can deal with! The amount of rust in the os...

thanks mad hat man, going to pop out now & douse the the adjusters with penetrating oil & hope for the best. if it was not for the plastic bits on the studs i'd be tempted to use a bit of heat but i think i will have to be patient on this occasion.

Hi all, can anyone give me any pointers regarding the headlight adjusters on a 200tdi, i've managed to obtain a couple of second hand units to replace my badly corroded ones. (the idea is to upgrade one day to 300 tdi)the adjusters on the second hand units don't seem to have the knurled knobs my...

my advice test drive as many as you can, i cannot give you any pointers on the later discos as i have a 200tdi. All i can say is when your hooked you will get by no matter what goes wrong with them:)

Dent, glad the headlight upgrade has proved a success for you & cannot wait too see your pictures. All i have to do now is to purchase the 300 headlights e.t.c Thanks to everyone who has replied with ideas & suggestions.

cheers mark-d it looks like this could be another little job to add to my project, as well as the rear floor,sills,inner wings e.t.c. omg the list goes on

stupid question mark-d as well as fitting the bigger headlights did you have to modify the front panel with regards to fitting the later grill & indicators

the problem i have is that both headlights are badly tarnished & they definitely will not pass the mot, I'd thought about getting the headlights re-chromed like i did for my mgf headlights but this can work out quite expensive. So the other option would be to carry out the full facelift but...

Sorry for not acknowledging you replies but due to work commitments i don't always get time to fire up the old computer. Dent I'd be very interested to hear & to see how you get on with your modification, personally i think it might be worth the time & effort just to have an better night time...

thank you mark-d & sambodisco for your replies hopefully by uprating to the later headlights it will improve the intensity of my present headlights & prevent the tarnishing the n/s one is starting to suffer from.

evening, can anyone give me any tips in replacing the front grill/headlights on my 200 with the identical items of a 300. am i right in thinking that the front panel onto which the said items are attached also requires replacing, any help would be appreciated :confused:

Thank You for the warm welcome everybody, & it is mr snoops. in my excitement to join i forgot the gap between mr & snoops but i will rectify this asap, again thanks & i will be looking forward to sharing some info.

Hello to everyone just joined the forum,so i thought it polite to introduce myself. I own a Discovery 1 which now requires some tlc mainly due to the dreaded tin worm. I hope that i can access any info from any other members on my restoration journey.
