    Defender poly bush kit fit Disco 1?

    Put one in the Disco forum at the same time as this. Think the way forward is to sell the kit I've got and buy one for the disco. Thing is how many people are gonna want to buy a Black Britpart poly bush kit for such a young vehicle? Surely the one Land Rover put in during this era are just as...

    greasing props

    When you feel the UJ you'll have like 4 recesses, it'll be sat in one of those on each UJ. Make sure your grease gun has a flexi hose as its a pain in the ass moving your bloody prop everytime.

    Can my 300 Tdi disco run on cooking oil.

    Old Jack does sound like a beauty, sounds to me he's a gem of a dog. I made the mistake of letting my bitch be more interested in Kernow, her half brother, even though I'm the boss she sticks to him like sh1t to a blanket. Very unsure of herself when it's just me and her out but with him she's...
