    M57 into discovery 3?

    Why degrade a Landrover by fitting it with anything from a BMW.

    Disco 2 Anyone used Extreme 4x4 for parts?

    Have a look at Dixon Fabrication. Bought their winch bumper. Well made and cheaper if I remember correctly.

    Door rubbing strip tape???

    3m VHB is what manufacturers use. It sticks good.

    WTF is this.

    Mine has one, as fitted as option by previous owner when car was purchased. Unfortunately no part number is shown on original invoice but price was. See photo.

    Gaylander 2 horn no longer honks

    Thanks for all the help. Can see why Defender and Disco owners call it a gaylander now. At least Disco's break sensibly.

    Window parts and repair

    When you say Skylights do you mean Sunroof or Alpine windows.? Sunroofs are easily removed and repaired with a bit of work. Alpine lights I have no idea but someone should be along who will have a better idea. I removed, serviced and got both my sunroofs and drain tubes leak free and fully...

    Window parts and repair

    Look for another one to buy unless the rest of the car is perfect and chassis is rust free. There's plenty to choose from. Leaks are common with Disco's so if its been bodged to fix a leak then there's probably other things that have been bodged too.!

    Disco 2 Losing Water. Has anyone fitted BMW expansion tank.

    My disco td5 was losing a small amount of water for ages but couldn't see any obvious leaks. My thoughts were expansion tank cap so taped the finger of a rubber glove over the end of the overflow tube to see if it would catch any any escaped coolant. Not a thing.! Eventually found out it was a...

    Head liner re cover

    Did mine a few years ago when I sorted the sunroofs out. Got the fabric online and its the original landrover factory fabric. Can't remember the company off the top of head but will post it if i can remember or find out more about where i got it from. Just remember to use a really high quality...
