    I've a scrap Disco 1 I need to shift but it still has useful bits to harvest off it. The near side is accident damaged so nothing is worth saving but the off side wing and doors are fine so I'll probably remove them and I want the running gear too. Once the doors are off would I be as well...

    Converting a defender 90 2.5 petrol to tdi
