Thanks, guess I'll keep searching and hope something comes up eventually

Stupid question... but I can't find this missing trim piece anywhere on ebay, plenty of rear bumper corner trims etc. but no dice finding this. I've tried searching just about every combination of of body trim, bumper, finisher, etc. What would you call the missing trim piece? (between the rear...

Ordered a half-chassis for my crusty old D2!

Expensive day today, sold my soul to Sally for £780 and got a half frame ordered up from Dixon Fabrication including the rear body mount outriggers. (yes, the non-galvanised one, i know, i know :rolleyes: my soul isn't worth £900 plus £95 postage...) Also booked 3 days off (plus the weekend)...

That’s good to know, thanks :) one less thing to worry about for a minute then.

I DEFINITELY don't have ~£3k kicking about :eek: Or the means to justify it! ...Maybe next time it rusts through :D In any case, it makes my bumper sticker a bit, uh, foreboding...

Funnily enough that did cross my mind at more than one point :rolleyes:

^^ Ominous foreshadowing. A cautionary tale for you folks tonight. So, did you ever have one of those days? I've got a double gin on the go and more looks imminent so I shall explain. I learned a few things today. First was that there's a special place in hell for whoever decided to put...

As a complete aside, can anyone identify the wheels on this disco? I’d imagine they’re probably factory Land Rover wheels, but what kind? I have a pathological hatred for alloy wheels on off-road vehicles and I think deep dished steels are a bit overdone. Wish me luck for the big chassis...

Your prediction was spot on, now say “you are suddenly going to come into great wealth” :D

It is, a WABCO unit, something to think about for the future. On today's episode of 'Fixed in the Farmyard': I don't actually know what on earth this "sealant" is but I'm leaning towards glazing putty? It's soft but, mercifully, can be rubbed off with your fingers. It's also EVERYWHERE on...

Thank you both, @sierrafery I was actually first looking at the fusebox in the engine bay! No helping some people :p @discool you were spot on, blown fuse in F10. Thanks!

I guess that’s actually a pretty clever redundancy feature, learn something new every day. i haven’t got a workshop manual yet so I was going off the diagram on the fusebox lid which is unhelpful. Thanks for your wisdom, I’ll try that when I get back.

Howdy. I’ve been trying to “un-farmer” my D2’s electrical system and ran into a problem with one of the headlights. (this is on a pre-facelift with the glass headlights) The previous owner fitted led H4 bulbs and for whatever reason did away with the block connectors that push onto the bulbs...

Got stuck in today. I replaced the broken crank pulley and damper unit that was clattering. I ordered a used unit and a new bolt from Turners for ~£50. She runs like a top now, quiet and smooth. Chuffed with that. Interestingly I found a few tricks to make replacing the damn thing easier than...

I did and it seems pretty good. Time will tell what it looks like under the coating though!

New Disco, who dis? Tom from the future here, turn back now, it's not too late to stop reading So yesterday I made the biggest error of my life to date and and picked up this 99 TD5 GS for £1900. I'm pretty happy so far. Just over 200k miles, Structurally it seems really good. Minimal-ish...

Please send financial aid

Thanks both :D

Howdy. Long time listener, first time caller. So last week my long-suffering old Jimny blew all the coolant straight out of the exhaust. Again. And I thought “This is great but you know what would make this more fun? Heavier, expensivier parts and more computers!” So today I bought a ‘99 Disco...
