    Welding sills (Disco 1)

    Thanks for that. I thought those eazyon panels would just trap the rot behind and make things worse. Box section it will be.

    Welding sills (Disco 1)

    Hi all, As the weather is beginning to warm up I'm now thinking ahead to this summers camping trips, provided I can get the disco through its MOT. It's failed on the rusty sills, so I was wondering if anyone has had similar work done and can give a ball park price. I've asked around a few...

    Any welders near Liverpool

    Hi all, Just looking to get my sills and boot floor welded up to get me through an MOT. I have cut out all the rot and got everything cleaned up ready - i can even get all the steel cut to size for me. I was planning on learning to use the welder i have bought and doing it myself but the...

    winch bumpers, light bar, rocksliders and more

    I'd be interested in a front winch bumper, rock sliders, steering guard and rear bumper with wheel carrier for a discovery 1 if you can let me know prices. Thanks, Ben.

    Can I drive half a disco?

    Actually. You guys are right. I might as well get one bit of box section and at least have a go. Only gonna cost £50 in materials if it all goes wrong. Might go right and I'll have a new skill and saved enough for the 3D TV and winch bumper I've been lusting over. Pics to follow :-)

    What am i looking for

    If you could that would be much appreciated. The first quote i had was £1700, the next was £1000 - but only if i remove the sills and floor myself. Ive bought a mig to do it myself but without a garage finding a time when im not in work, its light enough and not raining isnt too easy.

    I know a place in Widnes with lots of land rovers for sale. A quick glance around there might save you a trip down to london.

    Can I drive half a disco?

    Hi all. In the quest to get the cost of having my discovery welded brought down from the first quote of £1700 I have had another quote - but if I remove the boot floor and sills first. So my question is can i drive it about 5 miles without the boot floor, boot sides and both sills? Or will...

    What am i looking for

    I bought mine in July and have just had a quote of £1700 to fix the rust that caused it to fail its MOT. Obviously I wont be paying that, but have a good check of the sills under each door and the boot floor. Mine has gone along where the support struts run underneath the floor - easy to spot...

    £1700 to replace sills and boot floor?!?

    Sadly it was the best one of all that I went to see. Everything else is fine and low mileage too. But this is why I bought one, after selling the 90 I missed having something to tinker with. Anyway, I will be spending this weekend under it cutting out all of the rust and go from there. If I...

    £1700 to replace sills and boot floor?!?

    I actually already have a welder, but its just been sat in the shed. Never used the thing. I got it when i had the 90 but ended up selling it on and not repairing it. Unfortunately any welding i do will be on the drive as i havent got a garage - but id rather that than shelling out £1700...

    £1700 to replace sills and boot floor?!?

    After failing my MOT ive been down to my local landy specialist for a quote on replacing both sills and the boot floor and sides. £1700! is this right? I bought it for £2000 in July so dont really fancy spending nearly that again just on patching it up. Apparently £387 for the parts and then...

    Welding near Widnes?

    Can anyone recomend a welder close to Widnes as i need a rear body mount repairing. Would either need to be mobile or have a proper premises that I can book a repair in as it is currently out of MOT. Also, any thoughts on these repair panels from YRM? Any guidance much appreciated...
