    What's this prop off?

    Think I have found the answer...... .....it's for a disco or defender with a Salisbury axle due to the diff nose being longer, the propshaft needs to be shorter.

    What's this prop off?

    Picture now added, any other suggestions. Are the disco 2 props different between manual and auto?

    What's this prop off?

    Just bought a double cardan front prop for my d1 off eBay and have just realised it's too short. It measures about 555mm closed and 600mm extended. Any idea what it will fit onto so I can put it back on eBay listed properly. It has the same fittings to fit onto the d1 using the d2 transfer box...

    Wide angle front prop or td5 cardan double jointed?

    Cooper stt 285 75 16, it had 35x12.5 inch creepy crawlers when I got it. It already had the lift when I got it with quite a lot spent on it, so don't really want to lower it, I would rather replace the uj's regular than lower it.

    Wide angle front prop or td5 cardan double jointed?

    Yes front radius arms have been upgraded, it's actually a 4 inch lift not a 5 inch. Have you a link to the prop you bought please?

    Wide angle front prop or td5 cardan double jointed?

    Because I do a lot of shooting and lamping across muddy fields as well as needing to get down muddy tracks to feed the pheasants during the winter, I know it would make sense to have 2 cars but my wife doesn't drive and it would just be an extra expense keeping them on the road and then the...

    Wide angle front prop or td5 cardan double jointed?

    I have a disco 1, 300dti commercial that's been lifted about 5 inches. I do a lot of road miles and a bit of driving down tracks and feilds but not any hardcore off-roading. I am sick of replacing uj's in the props, front and rear. The front prop was only replaced a few months ago and it's...

    300tdistu your inbox is full

    Hi mate, not sure if you remember but earlier this year we had a lengthy conversation about a winch anchor that you could make that may store on my spare wheel carrier on my disco 1. You were going to get back to me or I was going to get back to you, can't remember. Anyway its that time of year...

    Recommend a rear work light for disco!

    I've got led torches and they tend to be quite focused even on the widest spread, that's one reason I asked on here for recomendations from people who have them, the manufacturers/sellers don't seem to advertise the degree of spread.

    Recommend a rear work light for disco!

    Sorry, I should of been more clear. It will mainly be used so I can see behind me when reversing. I do a lot of shooting on farms and revering in/out of gate holes and and turning round in amongst buildings, it's simply so I can see where I am going and so I have a light behind me when...

    Recommend a rear work light for disco!

    I am looking for a work light for the back of my disco commercial, with it being a van it must light up the areas I can see in my mirrors. It must have a wide spread and light up the area at the back of both sides of the car so I can see out of both mirrors for reversing and not stick up any...

    Is my clutch going/gone?

    Quick update, checked clutch fluid and it was empty, topped it up and bled the clutch, the biting point is further up and the pedal springs back up like it should do. I will have to keep my eye on it to see if it's leaking and find out where its leaking from.

    Is my clutch going/gone?

    As I was dropping the wife off at work this morning something wasn't right with my clutch. It seems to have hardly any resistance for 3 quarters of the pedal travel and after pushing the pedal all the way down it only lifts back up about a quarter of the way back before it struggles to push...

    My new bus, just had new tyre and winch fit

    The bumper was on it when I got it, it has channels on the corners to winch to the side, it's designed for a warn 8274 but I have managed to fit a different 13000lbs winch in it.

    What tyres would you prefer?

    I use my disco for shooting and feeding up, a simular situation to you, I don't do pay and play or any serious off roading however I have just fit a winch as a plan 'b' to get me out if I get stuck without having to bother farmers for there tractor. I have just put cooper stt 285/75/16 on mine...

    I was lucky, I found one straight away, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of em about.

    Ground anchors?

    Does it have some sort of bracket/loop to get a rope through towards the spade end to aid pulling it back out?
