You can get a fair amount of flex on a Disco with ARBs still in place. This has standard wheels and tyres and a 2" lift so nothing extreme. Both back wheels still on the ground.

And stop calling it a Jeep.

Removing the prop shouldn't stop it driving in front wheel drive. If it drives with the prop connected then the centre diff is taking up all the drive and you have a problem with your gearbox. You'd probably get better help posting in the correct forum though...

BUMP. I'd also like to know what the process is please. My user name isn't really relevant any more.

I'm suffering from deja vu looking at those last lot of pictures. Wish I'd thought of using box section for the sills. Would have saved me some time and money. Good work.

Gutted for you mate. I'm sure you'll sort it though and the main thing is you're both OK. Do you have a dashcam or get the registration number?

Baptism of fire today. First time off road. Performed really well. That's not me on the back. One of the club members fancied a ride.

I've started adding stuff that I want now, starting with a roof rack. This rack was actually on the Disco when I bought it but it was put on my daily as that didn't have one. The PO hacked it about a bit to put a roof tent on it so the tubular side rail was short on one side where it had been...

Black for the arches.. Body colour wouldn't look right, especially with all the other black bits you already have.

Good work. Very small list of minors for an old Disco.

Cheers! [Clinks glass, sups, says "aaaahhhhhhh"]

So, now it's had a proper drive there are a couple of small problems that need sorting: 1. Fuel gauge isn't working. Found that out after I filled up. Still showing empty with fuel light on. 2. Steering bar needs slight adjustment so the steering wheel sits straight. It's ever so slightly right...

No pictures, just good news. MOT passed today!! Had my first "that's cool as feck" comment today while filling up at the MOT station too. Woohoo! I'm pleased as punch. Mind, as with all projects like this, it's never really going to be finished. Got loads more planned for it.

I had the same problem with mine. Fitted brand new hubs and one of them turned out to be faulty, it wasn't the sensor. Went through three brand new sensors before replacing hub/sensor. Problem solved.

Hmm, quite overpaid for my replacement pair I think. Never mind, it's done now. As for the brackets, with rivets and bonding they're as solid as a rock. Or were, the replacements were in excellent condition with all fixings intact. I'll keep the old pair as poor spares.

Hey Dave, I was wondering where you'd gone. Welcome back and thanks for the positive comments. If you don't mind me asking, assuming you have already got facelift headlights, where did you source them and did you have to pay a ridiculous price?

ABS light usually stays on after clearing the codes until you drive it. Should turn off after seeing good readings from the sensors.

Black.

I've read the MOT manual regarding lights and I'm confident my lights are fine but I'm going to fit extra reflectors anyway in the interests of safety.

Just a little update. The new hydraulic ram I ordered for the step arrived today so I fitted the step. Quite pleased with how this has turned out. The action is very smooth. Looks like it could have been an option.
