Any more info on this mate? For the right money/spec I’m thinking of maybe getting a D2 Chris

Ha ha yes, poxi mortgage spoils all my fun. and buying one before LR stopped making them was also good

Appreciate the info lads. I’ve just got hold of a pair of heated RX8 seats so hopefully over the winter gonna ignore my rust issues and fit them instead :cool::eek: Nice one, well done for getting it sorted to pass. Would have loved to see the look on the guys face when he put his foot down...

Disco went for an emergency mot this week after discovering on Saturday that the mot didn't run till November as I originally thought but in fact had run out in May :eek::eek: Fortunately got a pass with a bulb and wiper blades plus the usual advisories for rust. Needless to say have noted on...

What app do you use to plot your route like that? Like to use that for when driving my lorry about. Also what age is your Fender? Impressive mileage in one of those

Thanks for that, I will google YRM and start getting an idea of price. Yes not sure how this project will end up when I start properly digging around the metalwork.

Hi all. Think I need to accept the inevitable that my Disco is going to see some welding work pretty soon. Sills are pretty shot, quite a few holes in the front arches and I haven't even looked at the boot floor yet. Asked around but nobody really wants to take on the work so I'm thinking I...

Can I have the item number please. Chris

.

+1 also been looking for new wheels and tyres for my Disco

Ewwwww Volvo FM all the way :p

12mpg check you out. I'm lucky to see 9 out of my straight 6 :eek: I also agree that diesel would be phased out for a long time, one day probably but a very far away day. However I still say go forward with the engine idea because I bet a 300bhp power defender would sound awesome, go like...

Think my steering box is leaking. Got a dry 200tdi one kicking about that I'm hoping I can put a new seal kit on and get it to fit my 300tdi disco

Spend the last couple of evenings reading through this thread. Have to say it is amazing work you've put in. Such a huge task. I've recently found holes in my front inner arches and sills that are going to need addressing. As much as I'd like to buy a welder and do it myself my work commitments...

Yer I've seen a lot worse too. Just trying not to bodge this one and actually make it nice :eek:

Went poking about under the van with a screw driver last week. Never a good idea :( Time so like this I wish I knew how to weld. Or had the time away from work to learn how to weld!

Only 7 seat D2's came with air suspension I believe. So get a 5 seater and you'll be fine. Or better still a commercial. Don't discount the 300tdi though, proper barn simple mechanicals which much stand up better to the heat of the desert than the complicated electronics of a TD5 engine.

Well as being on nights these past couple of weeks and bored during the day as not sleeping much thought I'd take a look under the factory mud shields on the front arches Oh dear, looks like I'm gonna have to try to lean to weld this year :( Sills aren't looking too hot either, one has let...

From memory when I fitted mine I waited till the tank was nearly empty before starting then I believe I put an jack at one end of the tank (nearest the rear bumper I think) Then manhandled the guard up the the boot holes nearest the front of the car. Slotted them in then it was a case of remove...

Thanks Paul, they have a set on eBay so going to give them a call about a deal on 5 rims.
