Might take you up on that - where are you? (I'm on me phone and crapatalk doesn't show locations...)

Agree... Top job, and the kind of thing that would normally be right up my street... But not in me off-road toy!

Getting better... The spatter came from the paint I didnt clean off that workpiece, but managed 4 good beads in a row... I might just be able to do this yet!

Currently using the CO2 mini-bottle that came with the welder - however, the regulator is fecked - the pin that presses the valve in the bottle was jammed all the way out and bent slightly, so I'm gonna get a new reg. Also, just reading through the turorials on MIG Welding - The DIY Guide, it...

What's the best order of play here? Weld in new floor sides, apply weld-through zinc primer, weld in new floor, more zinc primer on welds, seam sealer, underseal outside, hammerite inside? Just looking at the mig welding forum now for some top tips...

I know that feeling :) Hoping to crack on and get mine done as quick as I can...

May be a dumb question... But why do so many people get rid of the dickie seats out of the back of Disco 1s? Mine has had them removed but the mounting brackets are still there, so I will probably throw a set in when I'm all done welding her up, as tbh I find so many situations where having 7...

Welder arrived today... Wolf Weld 140, with a full kit of bits, £150 from amazon - not bad for a bottom-end mig that'll do 135 amps I suppose... Anyway, nice to see I've not lost my touch and my welding is up to it's usual standard.... ie...sh*te!!!! This is going to get interesting.... How...

Yup, seen that already - just need to grind off underseal / primer to find the extent of it. It'll prob need plating both sides...

Doesn't look like that'll deal with the part at the bottom where the arch meets the floor... was thinking more along the lines of a complete arch that replaces the whole thing. Right, decision made - no point in theorising or pontificating - I'm just gonna attack it with the angle grinder and...

Sills are next up to check... although a quick poke around underneath didn't reveal anything untoward... we shall see. I'll definitely be sorting the inner arches as well - although I can't find any inner arch replacement panels advertised (I've looked at a few sites). Think I've settled...

Just been looking at panels, and where all the seams go and what welds to what... Looks like I can't just cut out the side panels and weld the replacements over the top, as they have lips on them that point downwards... how do you get the old ones out? (And yes, I've scanned through a few of...

Yes, pin 10 on the multi-colour mini-ISO on the back of the HU, to pin 27 on the DSP amp connector.

That's what my thinking's leaning towards, Gaz... mechanically she's in great shape, the chassis's in good order... even the rear crossmember ain't too bad (but standing by for better inspection once I get the floor out!) so I do want to keep her. I think leaving her standing idle for so long is...

Started stripping out the back of my Disco to fit my LPG kit, and found this: Currently wire-wheeling the edges of the boot floor to find the spot welds so I can drill them out. Boot floor's coming out, but the majority of what's on the side panels is superficial surface rust...

Sounds like it could be a vacuum leak somewhere?... stalling when on the brakes might be a clue... and it's doing the same on petrol and gas?

I agree. None of their business what other quotes you've had. Just an excuse to charge you more if they can get away with it...

Sounds like there is no comms between HU and DSP amp. The Alpine HUs work in one of two modes - if it senses a DSP amp, it outputs a fixed-level signal to the amp and acts as a remote control - all the functionality, including volume control, is handled by the amp itself. If there's no DSP...

Piece of wee-wee - exactly as you describe. It will be fairly tight - I used a good strap wrench on mine and it took some persuasion and banging. Make sure you FULLY depressurise the system, as described in RAVE. Also a good idea to have LOTS of rags stuffed under and around the unit as a...

Never heard of one with a CD changer under the seat... definitely non-standard, or retrofitted.... or a re-import...
