    The silver line one I got is rubbish. I don’t want another bit of tat. Can’t warrant a fancy leccy one. Happy with manual but want one that’s not a flimsy POS. Thanks

    Disco 1 300tdi non abs front half shaft

    Hi all, Any idea where I can order the above as OEM rather than it turning up in blue box? Ashcroft do HD ones but that’s overkill for me really. Just want a properly made one and not junk Thanks

    Tricky electrickery on the old pig

    Hi all, got some very odd electrical gremlins on the 300 tdi D1. I think I’m going to book the auto electrician for a visit. On starting, the wipers would jolt - other than that they won’t run. The passenger window was opening on start up. After driving it for a while I then couldn’t get it...

    Pig

    Say hello to Pig. A high mileage, 3 door commercial that’s been tugging around a bowser for the last few years. An almost accidental purchase. Was watching on eBay for a bit then once spoke to owner I thought I’d grab it. It won’t be a restoration by any means. It’s had most the rot issues...

    Fuel gauge reading empty

    One for @sierrafery if you could please mate! Ive just picked up a commercial 300tdi disco and the seller advised me the gauge had got lazy and was just reading empty (with light illuminated) clocks were all cracked up on the plastic so changed with a good spare. So far I have: Checked the...

    Discovery 1 2 heated seat thermostat

    I’ve stripped my heated seat for the d1 and have found that the thermistor (I think it’s called this?!) may be dud. I think this as I get get continuity through the heated seat element (and it heats when connected to a battery) but I don’t get any continuity through this component, the d1 heated...

    Garage lift options and lift safety

    Hi all I’ll be moving my business into a newly built unit in the near future. I’m after a lift and there’s so much on the market. 2 post, 4 post, scissor etc. I’m not overly keen on pinning into the fresh concrete floor which you’d need to do for a two post. My main reason to want a lift is...

    Spraying and nisocoat 2

    Hi all, I’ll explain the points first so I don’t rattle on: 30psi 30 percent slow thinners - base and hardener mixed as per spec sheet. 15 percent advised is too thick. I’ve read elsewhere of others using 40% **** cheap gun - I used one in a set rather than my good one as my good one was a bit...

    A question of colour and mixing….

    You thought this was some kind of Britain first post didn’t you!! Two questions: Could someone advise me on which colour this is please? Secondly, my primer is 3:1:1. My mixing cup has the numbers for paint and hardener but not thinner. On the thinner scale it has 5,10,15,20 etc rather than...

    Discovery 3.9 v8 - rebuilds, reliability, options….

    I assume only the 3.9 EFI came in the discovery 1? Not sure if the 3.5 did but 3.9 efi is all I’ve seen… Say you were to freshly build one, are they reliable or just prone to issues? All I know about the v8s is they can be spiky on temps? You’ll think I’m nuts but I’m considering fitting a...

    Who dun it?! Disco 1 inner wing drain

    I know I’m not imagining this!! Someone did a nice little solution, perhaps with a 90 degree elbow for the scuttle panel drain to stop it running down the inner wing. I’m so close to a solution with a 90 degree but I can’t work out how to make flush..,, @Disco1BFG was it you???!

    Needle scaler psi

    I think I’m clearly missing a trick. I went to use a new out the box, Clarke needle scaler. Although it has been sat in a box for years. I couldn’t get it to go?! When I take the needle attachment off, it’s clearly pushing out air. I put 90 psi through is and it doesn’t budge.. apparently it...
