    Disco 1 Removal of Rear Door / Tailgate - any tips???

    well I don't have an engine crane, JCB, for lift or other kind of loader - hoping I will be able to use ratchet straps from the beams of the garage to help with the weight..... I guess its just a case of undoing the bolts on the hinges and the one on the bottom for the 'arm'. Is there is a...

    Disco 1 Removal of Rear Door / Tailgate - any tips???

    I have to change over the rear door on a 1995 Disco 300 tdi I have just bought for my son. Any tips or tricks to do this, as the door I have just bought is bloody heavy to say the least!! No wonder the Disco's are bloody slow when the boot door weighs an absolute tonne :rolleyes:

    WINCH 500 AMP SOLENOID 12V HEAVY DUTY UPGRADE - ALBRIGHT EQUIVALENT ETC

    I have up for grabs a heavy duty 12v 500 amp winch solenoid. Has M8 Input Output terminals. I got 2 of these for my winch setup (bought 1 for a spare just in case i cocked up!) as I have used this as a heavy duty relay to switch the power of my winch instead of having a cut off switch, so my...

    Please advise on disco 1 wheels

    any minus offset with those sized tyres I would assume that flexi arches will be required for the tyres protruding and for room to fit them.

    Disco 1 how to bolt roof rack

    I have built a few expedition racks and have bolted them onto the rail - 4 each side, and not found any issue with them moving. I just used some 90 degree angle to bolt onto the rack. Plenty of examples on the web.... Might be easier than welding to the roof?

    Disco 2 Facelift light - removal of plastic light lens

    From memory there are 2 Philips screws that need removing, then I just used a paint stripper gun to warm up the glue to peal off the plastic lense. Other people have put them in the oven to warm them up, but cannot image my better half would appreciate seeing a couple of headlights in the...

    Disco 2 Facelift light - removal of plastic light lens

    I have had mine off, resealed, off, resealed with different sealer and still got condensation - my advice just take them off the disco, remove the rear caps and leave in the airing cupboard or something similar over night and that will dry them out.

    Disco 1 Insurance ......grrrrr

    I am with one of our sponsors, Adrian Flux, and they have been great over the years - very competitive on our 3 cars, I think the Disco policy is only £135.00 per annum, and they have mirrored my no claims on my other policies too, like the multi car policies I suppose.

    Disco 1 Pro's and con's of higher side wall on tyre

    well, I have had no real issues with clearance with my 70's and 75's will give a slightly higher stance, although not huge, so will probably just go with those and not the 85's and then no issue with the speedo etc, as at present it is fine.

    Disco 1 Pro's and con's of higher side wall on tyre

    nope have a couple of GPS devices - Road Angel and my Garmin, and surprisingly the speedo is actually accurate, so am guessing it was not very accurate when running on standard tyres.

    Disco 1 Pro's and con's of higher side wall on tyre

    which set up, as at present my steering is spot on, and my speedo again spot on with GPS speed ;)

    Disco 1 Pro's and con's of higher side wall on tyre

    I will be getting myself some mud tyres at the end of the month (subject to the MOT!) and at present am running BFG A/T's 265/70/16. I have a 2" lift and running the tyres on modulars with -35 offset to stop any rubbing. My question is, is there any real benefit in going to the larger...

    Which Tyres?

    I am looking at the Maxxis Bighorns in that exact size, and they are not bad prices compared to BFG's etc. I run Maxxis tyres on my 'normal' cars and they are great, and these ones seem to come out good in the reviews too.
