    Best paint over fresh weld?

    PS it looks like you can apply direct to rust surfaces as well as clean metal. I just bought myself the dynax stuff for treating Disco2 chassis, wondering if this would have been better!

    Best paint over fresh weld?

    Brilliant stuff thanks. I have various needs, but the main current one is just protecting the weld from exposed environment. Yesterday I ground off rust ready to weld, the misses said dinner's ready so I ran to gobble my pie and veg which took about 20 minutes with a few drop of rain happening...

    Best paint over fresh weld?

    I am new to welding and metalwork in general. Doing some work on trailer and wondering what's best to protect the exposed steel and weld bead? I have a few cans of cold galvanised spray which someone suggested but wondering if some of the proper mechanical folks in here have any advice?

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    I was tempted to use sticks like ****, but maybe that will be too much work to get off (acetone maybe) if i ever do the job properly. PS what are "roof bar gaskets"?

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    Norratall! Never like to interrupt someone having quality time, especially in this new age where fun is a sin :D That's useful info. So I can actually take a look fairly easily, and maybe test. I can probably take that on, but removing the headlining etc is just too big a job for now. If i keep...

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    Ha, my friend's Disco ceiling has been done with Homebase magnolia emulsion! Looks bloody horrible but almost fall for it from a distance!! I have a fairly good headlining so I would just like to keep it that way as long as possible, so I will try some evostik contact adhesive, good shout thanks

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    Christ almighty! That's beyond me for now, probably for ever. I think I will just have to stick the cloth back up, any recommendations for a glue which will do the trick? I think I will have to sadly seal my sunroofs which is a shame. :(

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    I really don't fancy ripping it out, but looks like it will eventually need doing. trying to find a bloody minute for anything lately is a nightmare, but this looks a fiddly basterd of a job! I will have to look for some guides, hopefully there are some, or videos on screwtube

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    Thanks, but I think it would take a long time to see any water inside, as there is no visible leak, it looks like moisture/water build up which eventually dripped, so i dont think I can easily spray and check!

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    It gets curiosier! Just driving down the road, lifted driver's sun visor and saw this ugly picture. DAMMIT! My roof lining wasn't bad at all compared to many! It doesn't feel damp but it does suggest the leak issue may be real! Anyone got any tips for sticking this back up without making a...

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    Thanks Andy, very interesting. I don't follow completely, not sure if you're working inside or outside the car. I really dreaded the day the sunroof leaked as I have no clue how to attack that! The car was on dead level. Dry for two weeks then one day of rain. The front passenger sun visor has...

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    Wow i have never heard of that stuff! I regularly use CT1, Sticks Like **** and Stixall for farmy type leaks/repairs, but always wanted something better for fine cracks and stuff like that. Stick Like **** clear is used all over here, and works wonders. But this is a different beast and ideal...

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    Thanks for that. I just looked and one end looks a bit manky so that probably needs a clean out. Not too easy to follow that document but will see if some sealant will help. Need to find some black sealant as I only have some white Stixall and that won't look too cool at the drag strip :D

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    Thanks. Is that a quick suggestion or something you think is most likely?

    Disco 2 Leaky windscreen or sunroof?

    My 04 D2 doesn't appear to have ever leaked from the sunroofs, which was a good sign when I bought her. I got in today, my son in the front passenger seat. He pulled down the sun visor and a few drips of water ran down it. Definitely not condensation and it rained the night before. Trying to...

    Benefits/downsides on removing EGR valve

    he he, I didn't think it was related to exhaust, but maybe. I was thinking of changing to LED bulbs when i buy a new unit, just to see if its a bulb overheating as thats what I first assumed it to be. Maybe I should stick on a bit of asbestos as well!

    Benefits/downsides on removing EGR valve

    got a shock today. I parked my Landy outside a place, went in then came out, and saw my bumper tail light (fog/reverse) hanging out on the end of its wire. Pic below! Ever seen that before?!

    Benefits/downsides on removing EGR valve

    Thanks. I have a LOF single mass kit here ready to fit, I agree, the LOF apparently gives the performance and longevity of SMF but smoothness of DMF. I will soon find out if that's the case!

    Benefits/downsides on removing EGR valve

    Thanks, yes I wouldn't spend money for the noise, I just noticed it did sound quite sweet on my friend's one and caused me to ask about it. My TD5 has that same flat spot, they all do. Another friend of mine had a D2 with a remap done by a friend of his up in Durham a few years ago, he is no...
