    Disco 1 Return to centre damper

    I got one, and too be honest I ended up removing the spring as the steering was too heavy, but I did end up with a relocated damper ;)

    Disco 1 Glutton for Punishment - got myself another 300 tdi......

    Well, the strip down started at the weekend, to see exactly what I have bought. First job, strip down the rear, and take off the smashed back door and bumper.... Once off, wasn't too bad underneath, a few parts that need to be patched and welded, but nothing major, and the rear body mounts...

    Disco 1 Front Door Lock barrel removal

    All done, thanks guys for the help - easy when you know how! It was a c-clip that had over time got a load of crud on it making it look like part of the metal! Also, the barrel comes out without a key, so I can now play around with the barrel to make it work with the keys I have, as per the...

    Disco 1 Front Door Lock barrel removal

    Is the C-Clip the part of the barrel that the right arrow is touching - I thought it was part of the barrel, but might have corroded over time to look like part of the barrel, as I couldn't see any other clip????

    I will be after all of the rear interior at some point, rear seats, middle seat belts, boot side interiors etc, but that is a while away, but let me know what you have ;) front seats are shot, but will be looking at bucket seats to replace them.

    Disco 1 Glutton for Punishment - got myself another 300 tdi......

    Maybe a glutton for punishment, but have bought another 300 tdi!! I thought I would get a manual version, so I can start to teach my son how to drive – well he is coming up to 10 years old! Found a 1995 ES 300 Tdi manual at a farm. Structure and chassis is great, engine and gearbox spot on -...

    Disco 1 Removal of Rear Door / Tailgate - any tips???

    well I don't have an engine crane, JCB, for lift or other kind of loader - hoping I will be able to use ratchet straps from the beams of the garage to help with the weight..... I guess its just a case of undoing the bolts on the hinges and the one on the bottom for the 'arm'. Is there is a...

    Disco 1 Removal of Rear Door / Tailgate - any tips???

    I have to change over the rear door on a 1995 Disco 300 tdi I have just bought for my son. Any tips or tricks to do this, as the door I have just bought is bloody heavy to say the least!! No wonder the Disco's are bloody slow when the boot door weighs an absolute tonne :rolleyes:
