Beaten to it by Gratch, If anyone else needs one, then I have one for a 96 300TDi. Happy for anyone to collect, or if your down south like the OP, then I can stick it on eBay for 1p, plus cost of eBay advert and postage.

Bloody show off Not that I'm jealous................. much

Yet again, I concur. If you spend a little more and get something more than up to the job so it has far less chance of breaking, how long would those axle stands last? 20+ years?In which case it's cost per year is pennys. And if I'm going to be under my Landie with the wheels off, I want...

Bugger. Wish I'd known that earlier. Please don't tell mr there only something like £5 a pair more.

In his infinate wisdom Peter Wheeler used to buy his steel in bulk, fab up loads of chassis, then leave them outside the plant at Blackpool in all weathers before the were brought inside for assembly. I've heard of 2-3 year old TVRs requiring chassis refurbs. Spring built cars were often the...

Mines the same. If it goes some time without being used, it's a nightmare to use. Not so hard to get the transfer box into neutral, but really, really difficult to get it into 'gear'. Have you tried putting the diff into neutral, bringing the clutch back up, then pressing the clutch back down...

Bingo. Your going to risk injury or damage to your vehicle for the sake of twenty quid? Machine Mart do some 750mm tall ones with a SWL of 8 ton. Ok, so the SWL is a bit of an overkill, but they do get the vehicle nice and high for when your working underneath. The only downside is that...

Perhaps I came across a bit too negative, and a bit arsey. My apologies. Yes, I agree that doing any of these little bits is better than nothing, especially if the mods are cheap to carry out. One cheap job that you could do is remove the inlet manifold and clean all the gunk out of it...

I don't mean to be all doom and gloom here, but let's be realistic for a minute. That's say that with a bit of TLC you liberate an extra 10bhp from your motor. That's going to boost your bhp / ton figure by two parts of sod all. In my opinion, all these little bits are all very well, but...

That's much better :)

I can tell you how I did mine, but I might not make much sense? Anyway, here goes. Can't remember the bolt sizes, so let's just say they are 13mm. Use plenty of penitrating fluid. Then use the two 13mm spanners against each other. When one bolt is undone, remove it and cover the thread in...

Ah. I'm glad that you have posted the two above comments. I'm really rubbish at wiring, (and I do mean really crap), so I trusted someone else to wire up my front spots to my main beam. Every couple of months the near side spot lamp will stop working, so I have to get someone to sort out the...

Try Guardian 4x4. Spencer, (the owner), advertises on eBay. My rock sliders and front bumper are from him, and I can confirm that it is quality kit. A light bar is also on my wish list, but there are more important jobs for me to do on my Disco first.

That's a lot less power / torque than I expected.

That pretty much hits the nail on the head. It's not just Land Rover that have the **** poor attitude though. Plenty of other so called premium brands also seem to think that they can do the same. Rolex, (never owned one but heard storys from others). Cartier, (had to send one of my watches...

There is one of those 6.2 Detroit Diesel engines for sale on eBay.

I appriciate what you are saying, and yes, that would be a senseable suggestion, but I'm really not a fan of RV8's, and I'm keen to get stuck into a good project.

No :) Got the router from our Internet provider, but am waiting for a few sparkies to come round and give me a quote for fitting three more phone sockets, (office, living room and one of the bedrooms). At the moment there is only one phone socket in the house, and that's in the dining room...

Haynes do a book about modifying Disco's for off road use. There is a section in that about how to build and fit an overhead centre console. HTH
