Had a good look round while the floor was out, i've freed off all the bolts for everything I need/want to refurb, the 2 seat belt anchor points on the wheel arches need attention o/s is far worse than the near side but the sills and the chassis itself including the rear cross member are mint...

Hi Guys, Just thought I'd show you some pics I took after making the mistake of lifting up the carpet in tha back of my 96 disco. This job is almost done but there are many more before I'll be happy. Mike

Women - you can't live with 'em and you can't beat them with a golf club!

Hi Guys, I've been given an Hreg disco for silly money and I thought it would make the idea play thing. If I was to bobtail it or turn it into a pick up would I need an SVA test, I've been onto Adrian flux and told them what I intend to do and they've said it's not a problem so long as I tell...

Looks like a bloody great job to me Harvey, fancy helping me with my 2 door? Mike

I fueled my N reg 300tdi auto today and they had Bio diesel for exactly the same price as regular (morrisons supermarket) but apparently there is a place in Heywood that does it for £0.70p per litre. Mike

This looks like serious fun, I've got to have a go.

Hi Guys, many years ago I went to a quarry somewhere near whitworth, is it still there and is anyone going tommorrow? Mike

Thanks Guys, I just thought it seemed a touch hi thats all and was hoping there wasn't a gearbox problem lol. Checking the speed with the sat nav is a good idea and on most car that I've tried it there seems to be a 3 to 5 mph diffrence(satnav says 70, speedo says 73 to 75 ish). Mike

Hi Guys, Could you give me an idea what RPM I should be reading in a '95 N 300TDI auto Disco. I've recently repaired the broken wire for the rev counter on my new disco and now it works should I be reading just under 3000RPM @ 70 MPH? Cheers, Mike p.s it has standard size disco alloys and tyres.

You could try a nut splitter or apply some heat and a hoofing great chistle and lump hammer or take if the 'A' frame with the axle if thats possible and that'll give you more room to work. Mike CHT246 Nut Splitter Set - Machine Mart I know these only go upto 22mm but there are larger ones...

Same problem here, I've "manipulated" the offending arm a little so it'll run in the track without making the cracking noise but I will replace it when I get the chance. The passenger side rear dood central locking motor was also playing up, making a grinding/clicking sound when you lock the...

After weeks of searching and deciding what Landrover to go for this time, I picked up my lastest Landrover, a Nov 1995 300tdi xs auto discovery. I found a few problems when I chose the car - rotten boot floor (ugly but repairable), L/H rear central locking motor is not happy, a sqeeky belt and...

Looking for a disco and found two I think are ok, both 300tdi but 1 is manual and the other is auto ........ question is which is best for all round use, towing, motorway, mild oof road and green lanes. Mike

Thanks folks, you really know how to make a guys wallet feel good. I'd been rooting through the old folks loft the other week and found a full CB set up I had in the early 80's AND it still works. I normaly carry a small selection of ratched straps, strops and shackles as you never know when...

What mods would you guys suggest on a 90 defender for mild (ish) green laneing? Mike

Two parrots sat on a perch and one says to the other "can you smell fish" Mike

My old mum said if I sit on a cold floor I'll get piles lol Mike

Thanks for that, I've got my 10 zillion candle power torch on charge, swan neck inpection mirrors, overalls and foam lying down mat ready, you mention the R380 box - I memory serves, I had that in my '98 110 and the other type? (away and forwards) in my 86 ex mod 110, is there much difference...

I've found one, it's a 90 200tdi van 1/11/1993 L reg 120000 miles with 2 owners for £2700. It the body looks in good order apart from a few bits on the doors but I've not driven it yet (i'll drive it and give it a good looking at this weekend). It's t&t untill Feb 2009. Your thoughts please Mike
