    S2a! Another hole! If you are that particular then you would need to route through the existing loom.

    Coolant Leak TD5

    There is a little connecting pipe below the manifold (lhs), difficult to see or get at but thats the point where mine first started to leak. I then fixed a whole host of things as well from that point on, but make sure its not there because I didn't notice that that was the source until it was...

    WELDING CHASSIS, DISCONNECT BATTERY AND WHAT ELSE???

    I always disconnect the alternator. Never considered why but a wise old chap once told me and I have always done so.

    Which landrover keeps it value best

    Obviously Henry_B isn't coping well with lockdown and forgot which forum he was on. Nice car though!

    Which landrover keeps it value best

    None, they are money pits. If you get an old banger and pay little for it then it will probably be worth the same in years to come but you will have to look after it. Defenders seem to fetch big money, as do the series but whether they continue to appreciate or not is really down to demand for...

    My new disco td5. Project starting soon

    No sun roof! Thats the perfect starting point. Head gasket and dowels, ABS wiring mod, oil pump bolt, 2inch lift and then whatever you want to do to it. Enjoy! Is it auto?

    Don't you just get it mot'd. You're going to work in it and it sounds essential.

    Disco 2 Not sitting level

    Thanks, but chassis is excellent and all intact, no signs of accident damage or anything. I'll have another crawl about and think about it when this wind and rain next stops.

    Disco 2 Not sitting level

    I checked those too and nothing I could determine. It seems the car wants to list to the right. If its true that OEM springs are slightly longer on the rhs then it would straighten everything nicely. Hey, its a niggle nothing more, the cars great, handles well, etc.

    Disco 2 Not sitting level

    OK - had the tape out today and measured everything. All drop links are ok and exactly the same length. The only thing that suggests a small lean to the right is 3 to 5mm difference between the spring heights on each side. I measured this from the base plate to the upper spring mount. All rubber...

    New Disco questions. Yes another one of these.

    Oh well. Its a lovely car to drive. I've been using mine back and to for work over the winter and I'm enjoying it immensely. Auto is nice and I've fitted cruise control. Other than that I think its down to your own preference. I like to keep mine simple and uncluttered with gadgets but then...
