    lift kit for defender

    I know you can get +2" Terra Firma shocks in the Pro Sport range, however they're quite a lot dearer than the normal All Terrain ones and it's these that I wanted. Other option I've just noticed in the latest LRO is that there's two different types of Bearmach springs, there's Heavy Duty...

    lift kit for defender

    Going to bump this thread again as I searched before asking a question and it came up. Am rebuilding a Defender and want to put a 2" lift kit on it. Was going to go with the bog standard Pro Comp ES9000 and Bearmach Blue springs that everywhere sells but I've got this set up on my Disco and...

    I can't look at it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wasn't having a go or suggesting my landy is worth more than yours, it's just a shame that what we do to our motors should in theory increase the value but in reality makes them undesirable to 99% of the population. My disco should be worth a grand if everything I've spent on it is taken into...

    I can't look at it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'll be watching this with interest, if you get anywhere near £1500 for it I'll stick my 300tdi straight on there as that only owes me a grand all in! Any takers at £1500?

    Insurance for young driver

    Insured my 300tdi Disco with the Co Operative for £380, fully comp in my own name at 20 years old.. Give them a try, they only wanted £500ish for my old 110 when I was 18 - 19. However I have had no claims since I was 17 years old so expect to pay a bit more.

    egr removal kit?

    Got mine from Bearmach and it's just a standard hose, I think 300s were sometimes fitted with EGR and sometimes not, so it's just the hose for the model that doesn't have it as standard that you need. Had no problems so far.

    egr removal kit?

    You don't have to buy a kit unless you really want to, I've just made a blanking plate for my exhaust, and bought an intercooler/manifold turbo hose that doesn't have the EGR join in it.

    insureance premiums-17yrs old

    The Co-Op are cheap for certain land rovers, they don't like Discos or Range Rovers, my Disco is insured with them and I'm having to pay £400! But Series and Defenders can be a lot cheaper, I paid £700 to insure my 110 with them when I was 17 which was only 4 years ago.

    My Disco doesn't want to start...

    This is the bit that worries me, if the IP has a leak somehow that's going to be nearly impossible to find/trace. I don't suppose there's any kind of bleed screw on the IP itself is there? The diesel was really white and opaque, even sat for a long length of time it didn't clear up as you'd...

    My Disco doesn't want to start...

    Sounds like that might be the case, but I thought it would be worth a try! Cheers for your reply anyhow.

    My Disco doesn't want to start...

    Had no replies in the Disco forum so thought I'd stick this here for a wider audience. Got a funny one here, disco has been running rough recently, smoking with a serious loss of power and I parked it up planning on looking at it when I got a chance. Came to look at it today and it won't start...

    300tdi Injector Pump Problem?

    Got a funny one here, disco has been running rough recently, smoking with a serious loss of power and I parked it up planning on looking at it when I got a chance. Came to look at it today and it won't start, the fuel is coming out of the injectors a milky white colour which I'm assuming is...

    HELP 300tdi steerng

    Sounds like you've bought a Disco that's only ever been used for the school run so the linkage has seized up somewhere. My one was a bit stiff when I first got it, but now it regularly gets shifted in and out of hi/lo and diff lock so it's pretty free moving.

    Modular Wheel Problem

    Nothing wrong with modular wheels, mine are strong enough, have a good offset and look alright. Just get another tube and get it fitted, the kwik fit bloke doesn't know what he's talking about. Even if you did get a valve to fit in the hole the rim isn't designed to be tubless so chances are it...

    Gearbox oil

    Land Rover initially recommended ATF for both but then changed their minds and altered it to MTF in the manual box. On that basis I'd say you'll probably be alright with ATF for a little while.

    And mine has working electric windows, although they've got one of those buttons you've got to wind round and round.

    Calling all TDI Turbo Tweakers!

    Have got it sorted now was just a case of making lots of little adjustments until I got it running perfect. I've got a straight through decat pipe and will be replacing the midbox with a straight through pipe as well so keep the EGT down. Done plenty of research and have found people who have...

    Gearbox oil

    I refilled my 300tdi gearbox with MTF and it all but got rid of the 2nd gear crunch. Saying that the old stuff did come out like black water, and there wasn't much in there. If your gearbox is knackered that bad then it doesn't matter what fluid you pump in it's still going to crunch. Don't...
