It’s actually a 300tdi auto chassis and running gear with a Discovery 2 body bolted on top. The same one that was used to tow my broken Grand Cherokee back to the dealer last year.

Also whilst in Norfolk went to visit a good friend of mine and may have made an addition to the fleet............o_Oo_O

So we made it to Thetford! Just a small group of five Landies for the trip XY switch chucked the Black D2’s gearbox into limp mode on the second run so that was parked up in a village and he jumped into the other D2 Lovely 110 that did require a lift home on a recovery truck...

Best lights for a D1 imo, deffo brighter than standard 300tdi lights.

Yes cutting it open seems to be the only way forward to solve this problem. Gonna try and get the death wheel across it to cut it open then weld in a new sleeve. Annoyingly means I have no rear tow points at the minute so going to wrap a strop round the chassis and tie it to the spare wheel...

Double post

Laning day has been put back till tomorrow so used the free time to try and tick a few extra jobs off the list. Wanted to get the fuel tank guard fitted, got the tools out: After stripping the bumper off to check all was well I had a go at the first bolt where the tank guard mounts to...

Guessing flap wheel and hammer to hit and grind back the metal till it’s solid and cut from there. Yes got some bungee’s somewhere, can see them coming in handy. Mine is a non abs model which will help with the passenger arch

Cheees for the offer guys, my mate is very good with a welder so hopefully he might be able to lend a hand. Cheers for the heads up. Really wanna replace all the hoses for braided items so blowing a massive hole in that one may get that done lol. Yes my near side I believe is the worst for...

Slow day at work again yesterday so nipped our and grabbed this to chuck over the engine. Before: And after: Seems to have got rid of a fare amount of crap on the engine though the power steering is groaning a bit now. Then nicked a couple of connectors off the mechanic and got...

Cheers Dieseldog, thanks for looking. Lots of excellent information there BFG thank you. I want to fit my 35’s back on this truck so think I’m gonna sort my extended arches first to give me a better idea of what metal I have left to work with. Box section with easy on mounts seems to be a good...

Thanks very much for that, lot of great information there. Don’t suppose you have photos of any of the work you have done or of the brackets/braces that you have made?

That’s a very good idea, think I’ll give that a whirl as mine is a little wonky

Laning day not far off now so need to crack on. Wanted to sort the cb aerial. And in my usual fashion I started drilling holes and then realised I couldn’t get to the inside where the mount was gonna go :rolleyes: Stupid inner skin. Tried to get at it with the death wheel but that didn’t work...

Did venture out yesterday, but nippy!

Just update on this one. Looks like YRM will have all the parts I need so just gotta wait till my mate finishes the work on his defender so I can get the workshop. Been doing some googling and not finding much out about building and fitting box section sills to a disco. Anyone got any photos...

Cheers mate appreciate it. Was gonna carry on with fixing the rear door and starting on cb radio install but being back on the drive I proper wussed out because of the snow. But I was duly punished for this by having to take the missus to Lakeside instead. :rolleyes:o_O Will attempt to man...

Thanks very much, still pretty basic stuff but hoping if I can get the welding sorted then can look to making the old girl a bit tougher next year.

Merry Christmas all. Up coming laning day on the 13th of next month so made myself a little list of jobs I want to get done before then. Mate kindly let me have use of his ramp so off I went round to his garage Started with a quick oil and filter change then moved on to adding all the...

Where abouts are you and do you have any more photos? Chris
