Thanks for the clarification, I thought that was the case. It's fine off-road in low range for now, it's just a bugger to tow and to go up hills haha. Foz

Hi, I have a standard 1.2 ratio transfer box in my manual 300tdi Disco 1, and I have a replacement 1.4 ratio transfer box from a defender - as i have bigger tyres I want a better ratio for drivability. I rang a garage today that specialises in gearboxes for a quote on labour to replace the...

Yeah that's true - I really noticied it when pulling away with a caravan on the back. I'm gonna stick with the plastic ones for now, as they are cheap at about a tenner each. Eventually I will buy a metal tank but they are approx. £90. Haha, I'll take a look! Foz

When I get mine fitted I'll be sure to let you know - I can't imagine 35 inch tyres on the standard gearing :| that must have been horrible pulling away on hills (high range). I'm hoping the improved gearing will help a bit with the strain on the engine, as I think that may be the cause of some...

They are 33x12.50x15 GT Radial Adventuro Mud Terrain tyres - 10 inch wide modular steel wheels. Yeah me too, I did lose love for it for a while. Yes exactly, the 1.4 ratio transfer box will correct the gearing for 33 inch tyres :) This particular box also has an uprated cross pin too. The...

That's not a bad idea - thanks.

Haha yes! - I did clean it before I fitted it back on today :) I do usually clean it after every off-roading session, except last time 'cause I was fed up with it! Evidence ;)

Hi guys, Generally I'm happy to have a go at anything on my Disco (300tdi), but changing a clutch and replacing the transfer box aren't things I want to tackle - I've picked up a transfer box and they are bloody heavy. Cannot imagine how heavy the gearbox is! Roughly, how much do you think I...

After neglecting my Disco for about 6 weeks now, today I set about "fixing" the hole in the radiator. After some Googling, I came across JB weld. People have used this in the past to fix holes in radiators, so I thought i'd give it ago. If it doesn't last I'll have it fixed properly :) So...

For sale is my 335i - I'm very reluctant to sell this car, but I'm saving for a house so sadly it has to go. I've had this car almost 2 years and it has been brilliant - I cannot fault this car. 2007 335i 3.0 twin turbo E92, with M sport styling in black. The car is an automatic. Full Service...

Small update. My rad has a hole in it where the electric fan was attached - I think it put it on too tight, as it has slowly rubbed a tiny, tiny hole in the core. So I need that reparing. I've checked all of my water pipes, and they are all clear - I'm considering getting a metal header...

Hi mate. Hammerite is a bit crap now, very soft. I used Johnstones Smooth metal paint to paint my replacement boot floor - loads better in my opinion. Bit cheaper, too. I can't remember how much I bought, if you remind me (text me) i will check the tin in the garage tomorrow. How loud is the...

That's a good suggestion! I'll check those at the weekend. Foz

Got a bit muddy today - it was loads of fun, though. Funny how the rear is always clean Had another expansion tank go pop (luckily I carry a spare) - not sure what is causing the high pressure, but I was going pretty hard today as it was very boggy. Got a cool photo though Also the...

When offroading and reaching the brow of an incline, I don't like not being able to see what's in front of me - Even after getting out, checking and getting back in your vehicle, someone could be on the way up the other side without you knowing (especially when it's busy). So my solution to this...

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the read :) Have you created a thread for yours? Foz

Glad you got it sorted mate :)

That's an interesting one. From what I can tell all of the rods are in the correct place - obviously excluding the one for the door lock pin that pokes up through the inside. The only part I can't see in the video, is where the rod connects to the door lock - pictured below: - Is the upper...

I recently had to do mine, and it was a right pain. Could you take some pictures and upload them - i'll compare them to mine to see what is off Foz

Haha - you could call it that
