Should have spent some money on Project Iceberg - a diesel version of the V8. http://www.lr-mad.co.uk/index.php/en/project-iceberg Interesting site ...

Is this a wind-up? :D:D:D:D

Check all the light bulbs as well - sounds like an either an earth causing a backfeeding fault or worn out main switch just like everyone has said.

Cup brush on an angle grinder. Then a zinc rich primer. Then anything except Hammerite.

Had a head gasket go on my old Ford Explorer 4ltr V6. Was quoted over £1.5k to fix - it's a mega, mega job on one of those. I stuffed a bottle of K-Seal in and it went on for at least another 40k miles before I sold it. For the price of a bottle I'd give it a go.

Haven't got any first hand experience of the bumpers but when I can afford some rock sliders they are the company I will go to. They are local to me and I have seen their kitted out Disco and it looks the biz.

No rear ARB - crushed the mounting bracket on some rocky green lane. I'm also considering removing the front for that bit more articulation. This has nowhere near the flexibility that my old RRC had. Now torn between light and medium. I don't tow or carry much and it's generally only me or...

Considering doing a lift on me Disco. Old springs and shocks are weary and smelly and old. Are we all in agreement that Terra Firma gear is the way to go or is there something better? Mainly road use with some green lane and occasional P&P. Don't want to spend the earth as I didn't win the...

No point asking us lot - we're all paupers who cannot afford posh motors. Ever thought of looking at Merc. BMW, Audi, or any of the other 'premium' marques and just copying them?

Could do with taking mine down to see where the leaks are cos water is still p1$$ing in. Lining is not too bad.

Parabolic springs are more comfortable than standard ones buy nowhere near as good as coils. Cab is limited size wise - prepare to loose all the skin off your right elbow and if you are a fat bloke you might have problems. Noisy, draughty, underpowered unless you get a V8 or 200/300tdi...

They use them all the time. This thing just looks scary.:eek::eek::eek:

Still raining :(:(:( I'm trying to organise a giant human chain with lots of buckets so we can send all our floodwater down to you to put your fires out. Two problems solved at once :D:D:D

Lift pump. It's always the lift pump. Sodding lift pumps. I hate lift pumps. Bane of my life is lift ****ingpumps. :mad::mad::mad:

The day I se them on Ice Road Truckers is the day I will think them a good idea.

Coolant? :D:D:D:D:D

LT77 on my RRC jammed in 3rd gear one time 10 miles from home. Drove home using 3rd low and 3rd high. Glad I had learned to double de-clutch on the lightweight! Gearbox was full of crud - flushed it and refilled and it was fine.

Check out ebay, guntree, autotrader etc. Then go away and cry ...

How big was the engine and how flat was the battery?

If it was a registered DOT Test station it should have had 3rd party insurance. Let your insurance company earn its money and sort it for you. And don't be fobbed off with the first offer they give you - it's always crap. Hold out for as much as you can. It's unfortunate that someone has...
