    Disco 2 Squeak under load..

    ill have a look towards the manifold, it not so long ago had a brand new turbo fitted so i assume the manifold has been off...although would this "blow" not be constant and irrelevant of load on the engine?

    Disco 2 Squeak under load..

    hmm wouldn't say this is the same as what i have, i saw this myself but start up and shut down its as quiet as a mouse and the crank inertia change would certainly make it audible, more so than at 2000 revs in my opinion.. The squeak isn't metallic as usually reported with the crank pulley, mine...

    Disco 1 Welding...

    80x40 as I want strength but as low weight as possible and the floor panels have to be 2mm anyway for the cage strength as it's for competition use rather than off roading the sills aren't going to take all the hammer as there's going to be underguarding and a secondary chassis mounted slider...

    Disco 1 Welding...

    Cheers didn't think I'd be the first to tackle this.. I'd rather find it all now than after an impact with an immobile object.. Thankfully the bulkhead seems fairly solid above the inner arch which all needs upgrading anyway.. pics would be of great interest

    Disco 1 Welding...

    Has anyone had experience welding the sills and foot wells on a d1? The new toy needs considerable tlc through the foot wells which is fine as I need to replace that section with stronger steel for the cage anyway, however I'm dubious about cutting the sills and the floor out together, in...

    not having much luck with lamps ATM I've flooded the fogs and the drivers side headlight apparently had lost its rear cover and now has a nice layer of silt in it :( and to top it off I laid the recovery rope on the spare and opened the door crushing it into the rear lamp... more in need of the...

    imafter a pair of new front fogs for the disco after finding out they were no longer watertight due to the plastic cracking.. I've just done the fl facelift on same year and I found that the fogs in that are Mondeo facelift @£35 for a pair (yes I know!!) so I recon that the d2 fl will be off...
