Can I ask how much it would cost (roughly) for box section and where you could buy from? Obviously don't walk into B&Q!

I looked into this last year and was quoted around £400 for my Discovery. Enquired through waxoyl site (I think).

That's what I'd hoped James. Never welded so asked those "in the know".

Cheers Gems, the part costs around £40. I've got the metal, I just need someone to weld it. How much would be reasonable to pay for welding

I knew about the arches but wondered if it would be both worth it and be cost effective.

As a Land Rover owner who has never welded, I know, what's the chances of that happening eh? Anyway, Discovery 300, rear door wheel arch has a slight whole.. Is it weldabubble?

What about an isolator switch? Where/how is this done? If it's a common upgrade then I'll do a search. Cheers

Just had a :whoosh: moment. :confused:

Thanks for the tips. First off I'm borrowing my fathers charger to make sure it's full charged. Will test the fuses using Kwakermans' tip. Solar trickle charger looks like the way forward. Now, the idiot question.. Would I be able to use a solar charger ok if I use a battery isolator?

Any ideas as to what could be causing the drain? I honestly thought that that amount of drain would not cause the battery to go flat over night.

It's got a 5 year warranty. Not used much and it's the right size. Will probably have to bring it inside and put it on a proper charger to get it back to normal. Pain bringing it in and ut every time I use it though. Something's not right..

Long story short. Original battery replaced after 18 months; replacement sent out and I'm now starting to have the same problem after about a year. Needs a jump start now the weather is turning and I can't be ar**ed doing this every time I want to drive it; it's not my daily. Took a reading...

Bugger:D. Beaten to it..

YRM sell parts that are preformed so no need to try shaping metal. Hope this helps. Discovery 1 Parts - YRM Metal Solutions

That's the kind of ideas I like. Simple but very effective..

Wow, just wow! :cool:

How did you get the electric window switches illuminated? Your interior led upgrade is a great idea..

Looks smart enough & I actually like the cream leather. It's what you don't see in the advert that you really do need to see; underneath. You'd really need to have a look yourself or, get an AA/RAC inspection would be money well spent. Good luck!

The first car I bought was a Lada Riva estate! Bought it 2 years old for £1800, sold it a year later for £2600! Not nearly as bad as made out, I went on to have 3 Lada Niva's (4wd). Loved them.
