    Steve's disco 2 rebuild

    I'll get a photo of my flaring kit later. Don't think it has any brand name on it but it's probably similar to what you have. It was just a cheap kit I got on ebay. The new brake pipes are cupro-nickel so quite easy to flare.

    Steve's disco 2 rebuild

    Mostly. All the pipes to each wheel are new. I reused the three that go across the bulkhead to the master cylinder and the drivers side front wheel, with a new section from the joint in that one. The two lines that go to the back wheels are one run each. I dispensed with the chassis to body...

    Steve's disco 2 rebuild

    Both your bumpers look very professional. The roof rack looks like it'll be just as good. Looking forward to seeing that done and fitted. Finally getting somewhere with my roof rack now after months of inactivity.

    Discovery S2 2003 Face lift headlights

    I thought that might be the case. I was a bit too worried about it when I put Project Disco through the first MOT after the rebuild.

    Discovery S2 2003 Face lift headlights

    My experience with D2 facelift headlights. I now have one headlight with a working leveling motor and one with a non-working motor. Still passed MOT with no comments about it.

    So I bought another RR the other day......

    That's still a problem? It's been like that for a while now. Something technical to do with moving servers or something. However, copy and paste works OK so just paste your pictures into your posts.

    Flat Bed Disco 2 Project

    My wife's car has some serious issues that I'm not able to sort out myself and no-one in Shetland will touch it so Project Disco was pressed into service for it's first proper towing job. At the weekend we took the car on the ferry down to Aberdeen to leave at a dealer until it's sorted. PD...

    Problem uploading files.

    What, ACTUAL naked frogs or videos of naked frogs? Back on topic; the forum is also excruciatingly slow to respond to clicks on just about everything.

    Problem uploading files.

    For some reason when I try to upload pictures to a thread the forum software tells me I'm not allowed to do that. Is there a problem or have things changed since the last time I uploaded stuff a few weeks ago? EDIT: I get a dialogue box that pops up with the following text in it: The following...

    The Little Discovery That Could (financially ruin me)

    You have the same lights on the dash that I do. Probably a wheel sensor but you really need to do a code read to get a definitive answer. Mine's a wheel sensor. I must get round to changing it before MOT time...

    2003 Landrover Freelnder 5 door rear seat

    I've done this myself a few times but years ago. If I remember rightly I put them in folded up so that the front part of the hinges line up with the bolt holes in the rear part of the footwell. Put these bolts in first and don't quite tighten them all the way up so you can wiggle the seat a...

    Freelander 1 My 4th Freelander. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

    Well, I bought one. Just arrived today. I'm on night shifts so it'll get fitted when I have the inclination.

    Disco 2 Long Ranger

    Nice looking suspension. Got a bit lost though among all the replicated pictures. Seems to be half a dozen each of the same set of pictures.

    Freelander 1 My 4th Freelander. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

    I had noticed it seems really dim inside when you get in at night. I'll probably do that upgrade.

    The Little Discovery That Could (financially ruin me)

    I just noticed that postage on that item is £14. Absolute **** take. Shop around, you'll find much more reasonable prices. That was just the first one I found with a quick Google.

    Freelander 1 My 4th Freelander. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

    I'm not fussed about the front seats being 5 door ones and I'm probably going to remove the back seats to restore the load space. It's just me and the missus and we very rarely have passengers. When her car is back on the road we'll have a sensible 5 seater for if we ever need that. I thought...

    The Little Discovery That Could (financially ruin me)

    Probably didn't realise you can get a socket through the hole in the back of it to undo the bolt on the turbo housing. Looks like you need a new connecting hose for the oil cooler. In case you haven't found one already...

    Freelander 1 My 4th Freelander. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

    Cheers. I am acttually pretty happy with it. The guy I bought it off is a friend of mine in the local Landy club and he did loads of good work to it for it's MOT. He even supplied the handbrake cables free as he was a little embarrased that the handbrake was seized when I picked it up.
