    Disco 1 200tdi with a Euro 4 catalytic converter

    The cat doesn't need to be LR specific, the choices of what cat to use are limited only by the imagination of the welder installing it. As for the smell, yes, it will make a difference, I recently decatted my TD5, and itsmells like a "real diesel" now, whereas before it's exhaust scent was far...

    Freelander 1 Freelander EV

    That's some genuinely nice fabricating buddy... I am genuinely impressed how far your welding has come along. I remember at the start ofthis project I was being pedantic and picking holes in your initial welding, and giving you advice on how to improve... But now, with a bit of skill fade on my...

    Drove through 2 feet of water, next day, clunking/sputtering when turning left/right slowly?

    And there was me thinking that it was the (FL1) hippo's doors which fell off when the vehicle got wet....

    Wanted D2 bits

    I'm using Stereo LithrogrAphy instead of Fused Deposition of Material type of printer. That means these are printed in a vat of UV curing resin, rather than through the usual plastic fire fed into something like a hotmelt glue gun. quick video explaining the technologies and the difference for...

    Disco 1 300TDI No Start

    Have you checked you're getting fuel from the lift pump to the injection pump? The lift pump is on the side of the block, about half way along it, three bolts and two pipes iirc, but if it's not lifting fuel to the injection pump you're going to get nowhere with this. On another topic, what's...

    Wanted D2 bits

    Yes, I did, got my first prints done, not 100% in love with them, got a few bits of the process to work on, and I think the design I have needs a tweak, but I'll post pics of where I am at with them tomorrow.

    Disco 2 Variable Vain Turbo anyone?

    Just read this admittedly old but resurrected thread, and was wondering what was the outcome? How did you sort the sluggish performance?

    Disco 2 Discovery 2 Suspension Guide

    On my BMW, my insurance went up when I declared the brake upgrade, after that, every subsequent mod, which have been power additions like upgraded intercooler, have been shrugged off with an attitude of basically "whatevz, but thanks for letting us know 👍".

    Disco 2 Brake light problem - third light only & taillights go off when braking

    Someone pointed out to me that my taillights completely switch off when I brake, and only the third brake light on the tailgate screen is illuminated, indicators are unaffected. I'm used to earth problems causing other lights to dim when another one illuminates, say tail lights dimming when the...

    Disco 2 tuned td5 0-60 times?

    Sorry, I should have stated, I'm thinking mainly of manuals, as A: mine is a manual, and B: I am aware the autobox adds an extra layer of lethargy to the disco. I'm not looking for sportscar quick, but I'm curious how much improvement we can achieve to acceleration. I live in a fairly rural...

    Disco 2 tuned td5 0-60 times?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could share a list of their mods, and the resultant 0-60 times?

    Buy an old discovery or not !

    I love the attention to detail you're showing with your disco, and glad you're enjoying the process of going through it all. I'm currently quite deep in to a similarly thorough rebuild of my BMW's suspension, but like you I'm being thorough. I've had some of the suspension components powder...

    Buy an old discovery or not !

    Thanks for the feedback - however I have to confess that I had misspelt the word deities - meant to say deities as in plural of gods diety, ended up using a d before eighties, as in the decade, almost like I was giving my age away by dropping hints about being an eighties child. Coaxial...
