not done this mod meself, but knew a little about them. Volvo portals comes in 2 gear ratio: fast and slow....so make sure you had the fast ratio ones. Obviously, you'll be needing to cut away existing mounts and weld on new mounts suitable to fit land rover suspension/shocks/pan hard/drop...

hahahaha....judging from the route you took a few weeks back at Chesterfield.....you'll be dragging the sheep on it's belly all the way....:D I might be interested for January too, as Parkwood is only 15 min from me :)

apparently, it seems easy for some idiots not to see a 2 tonne disco, even with the headlights on. Was transporting some doctors last week (4x4 response), a car at the front of me turned into a lane on the left and decides it wasn't the correct one, and turned out immediately without stopping...

Right...just tidying it a little to make it easier for everyone, myself included: 1) Discovery Maniac 2) Newby Lad 3) Lowey 4) Doris.girlracer 5) BenG 6) Kingsonlim 7) Jammy137 8) Joe Disco Meet at 12pm, 11/12/2010, Macdonalds, 501 Leeds Road, Huddersfield HD2 1YJ The post code will bring you...

yes...the pump and injectors are different. pump.....electronic vs mechanical injectors........higher secondary pressure @280 atmosphere (EDC) vs lower secondary pressure @300 atmosphere tried running the EDC injectors with the mechanical pump, and result was not as good, so got myself a set...

will likely be able to make it this time.

3.2 ton Tirfor hand winch on eBay (end time 09-Nov-10 11:50:48 GMT) Spam ?????

Forgotten to add: - use the length of wire with spade connector at end, find a suitable 12v source (either through a switch, or through ignition, so that engine will shut off once ignition is turned off) and connects it to the fuel stop solenoid.

All Jap import should have the sensor injector. In fact the injectors are slightly different: standard : primary pressure 200 atmosphere, secondary 280 atmosphere edc : primary pressure 200 atmosphere, secondary 300 atmosphere So, I would think the higher secondary pressure led to the EDC...

that's the steering wheel airbag connector.

You might be in luck...:D I had just converted my 300tdi auto with EDC to mechanical injection pump and injectors....so, am having a set of them injectors for the EDC 300tdi...1 x ERR3337 & 3 x ERR3348. Came off a Jap-import with 124k miles on it. Was running perfectly up until a week back...

Station Inn (under Ribblehead viaduct) The Station Inn Dont know the lanes there sorry. Stayed at the Station Inn on way to the Lakes last month (8 x landy). Great place.

I had a Britpart set a few years back, bought new and fitted to the RRC. Same happened when back end sits lower. As they look almost identical, I swapped them round, front to back, and it sits level. But, when it's loaded with camping stuff, the back end get lower again. The leveling improved...

anything can be made to fit....!!! you do realise defender have squarer arches while disco's are rounder ones......so, even if you make it fit....it will not look the bussiness, IMHO...

For offroading, you would want softer springs (thinner gauge spring steel, but longer). For load carrying, you would want stiff spring (thicker gauge, but shorter). If I remember correctly, standard disco front springs are 150 lbs/ft, and rears are 180 lbs/ft. It's designed to be soft, so that...

Instead of replacing the throttle position sensor, I replaced the electronic injection pump to the mechanical one....effectively getting rid of the ECU/EDC system...and the disco drives so much better now...with a tweeked pump anorl...!!!

Before I had a winch at the front, I used to lift it a further 2" with suspension block to even out the car. Changed it to a 1" block after putting winch at front. You can either get the suspension block from ebay, or go to your local steel stockist, have them cut out a pair of aluminium or...

Thanks so much for that......suppose you can tell I haven't been using the switches much....!!! So, my rear fog light switch is faulty, as it doesn't click and stay down. However, still need to attack the multi function unit and check for the rear heated window & rear wiper. Might be a dry...

Can anyone who has a 300tdi disco check on how the switches work? My MOT is due in less than a month. While going through the car I found the rear heated window and rear fog light switch won't illuminate. When the rear heated window switch is pressed, does it click and stay down or no click but...
