Everyones opinions and input has been a great help, I've got it back on the drive now and have had a good look over it I am going to soldier on with it and am starting to look at welding supplies to get me started, I'll hopefully be somewhat handy by the time I'm done! In the mean time I'm...

Croker vs Rover is a great channel, was already planning on going back over his D1 videos for some inspiration! Unfortunately I dont really have the facilities to take the body off but I've had most of the interior out already at some point for various things so I'm not too worried about access...

It is definately reassuring that others have done the same I can understand why businesses are inclined to charge so much, fairly high skilled work that takes ages and isnt enjoyable - I'd probably do the same if I was them!

Unfortunately it is my daily.... for now. I'm just starting process of finding something which will need less attention to run to replace it while I'm dealing with the disco All your thoughts and advice is much appreciated, I'll be bringing it back home and will see about getting some...

Thanks Kev, I'll have a good scour of google to get an idea of what cost I'd be looking at for DIY - if its worth it I might be joining the 'forced to learn welding' club, all part of the journey I guess!

Mainly just wanted to check I'm not getting ripped off, can't bring myself to let it go so I fear I'm going to do the unintellegent thing and get it done

Hi Guys, I took the disco in for proper undersealing last week thinking that I'd got the corrosion issues sorted as the chassis and inner wings are all good.... oh boy was I wrong! Turns out the body has gone pretty dramatically in all the usual places. The intellegent thing to do would...

The ones I've got should be good enough to act as a base / template - its only the cylinder through which the bolts goes thats absolutely toast

Blanchard can only sell them as part of the complete roll bar kit which isn't ideal for what I'm after as the rest of the cage is fine, totally understandable that they don't want to sell component parts of an assembly though I'm waiting to hear back from safety devices currently so we'll have...

I'll update this thread for future reference if I manage to source a set successfully Cheers

Hi again all, Wanted to seek advice / knowledge around blanking the rubber one way valve on the bottom of the td5 disco airbox Im struggling to find a direct replacement so feel it might be easier to just do away with it altogether The intake system is totally stock, just going out into the...

Hard to turn down the opportunity to get another big ol tool like that! I don't think the top pulls out, gave it a goold old yank but I could be wrong Not a sealing face, just like to ovoid damaging stuff where I can is all

How well does the jaw protection work? Dont think it'll matter if it damages the surface a bit but I don't want to destroy / crush it

Since they're a pain to do I think I will end up sticking with genuine, I'll see if a local guy has any hoarded in his shed and if not I'll take you up on your free postage offer! Cheers
