About F****** time! Please ignore the dog.

No worries, i ordered one from JGS4x4 for £3.19 :cool:

Top man, thanks

I hope my ongoing misery is entertaining for you all :rolleyes: On that topic, STILL no chassis section yet. I must be too trusting because the guy from Dixon Fabrication said two weeks ago that it was ready to ship. Looks like I'll be doing it in the evenings after work. :rolleyes: On a...

She's got a new eye but it definitely makes the other one look like it's got cataracts. (still full of mud) I must have hit the corner pretty hard, it pushed the bumper bar back into the headlight bucket hard enough to tear the metal. Had to bend the bumper back out and pull the headlight...

I am, and it's scary. £3653.22 spent so far. :confused: Anyway, yesterday I went for a bit of gentle green laning. A good time was had. An altercation with a small tree resulted in the NS headlight looking a bit squinty, it just popped it off the balljoints. I didn't notice it until i was...

I know, I just needed it to stop leaking RIGHT NOW :D the carpets were getting soaked. It's currently sat with a running dehumidifier in the back :rolleyes:

Knocked a few things off the list today. Replaced the offside front axle seal. Turns out when I changed the diff I managed to mangle it somehow with the halfshaft. Yup, that'll do it. Also adjusted the handbrake as the lever travel was maxed out and it was slipping. To give Land Rover...

Hello, it's me, Mr. Still Waiting for That Half Chassis. Decided after work today to do something about the sunroofs (?) sunrooves? the glass things in the roof that let the light and rain in. Previous owner described them as Further investigation revealed that this was, in fact, a lie...

Still waiting on the half chassis. Designed and ordered a custom sticker for the old girl, took an age to arrive. And I was driving back in the rain last night and the temperature gauge decided it was both overheating and in siberia. Turned it off and on again and it was right back in the...

A productive day with the Disco today, I'm pleased. Had the front end apart to replace the noisy diff with the buggered pinion bearings and leaking seal. It almost went off without a hitch, she didn't fight me, nothing broke or stripped and for once I have less expensive problems than I started...

I may be entirely wrong, so take this with a grain of salt, but a trick for the type of connector that sierrafery is describing: find a bit of thin plastic tube just a bit larger in diameter than the fuel pipe in your photo there, cut yourself a couple of inches and then cut it open lengthways...

Thanks, I’ve ordered a used diff assembly to go in, just hoping she holds together for a few days! :confused:

Howdy. My front diff has a loose pinion bearing and a very badly leaking pinion seal (among others). It's buzzing away and generally sounding like it might suddenly lock up and explode sooner rather than later. My disco is a 99 which I believe has the transfer case with the centre diff lock...

Picked up these steelies over the weekend. Not everyone's taste, i know, but I like them and I don't like alloys on a 4x4. Four with decent BF Goodrich KO2 235/70R16 and a spare with a new Michelin. I paid £250 for the lot, which considering these tyres are ~£180 each new... The old ones are...

Damn, that's a clean install. Bravo! :cool:

I forgot to mention, on Sunday morning i got a bit of time to go down a favourite green lane and scratch the paint up a bit more. As it turns out a disco is wider than a Jimny! AND IT DIDN'T SNAP IN HALF! :eek:

I just can't get it to stay lit, any tips? :D

Did a few little bits today. Fitted my dashcam what for the plausible deniability: Changed out the worn ball joint on the end of the drag link that was causing the vague steering: and found this perfectly good bird that someone had put in the bin. The other evening I dropped the...

Good info, thank you :)
