Worth trying a caravan forum???😁

Very nice! 😎. That would make a great rolling project, not that much needs doing. I’d be in some turouble if I bought another though!🙄. Good luck with the sale, it’s a great looking Landy.

Nothing like learning on the job, so to speak. A decent selection of tools, some workshop manuals and you tube are very useful.lots of good help and advice on here too.

Welcome back!

Hi and welcome!

Hi and welcome! Yes, they all do that… and they leak, are draughty and use more fuel than boring cars. But you smile whenever you drive one and other Landy drivers wave at you. You don’t get that in a VW, BMW or Ford etc…

Or that the earth lead has come loose and the battery is earthing through the handbrake cable?

Osram nightbreaker bulbs are a good upgrade for Defender headlights.

Hi and welcome! Tidy looking disco. Keep us updated with your upgrades.

As mentioned, a poor repair which was likely covered in underseal. The rust will also be worse than what you can see as the chassis will be rusting from the inside. There might be space to negotiate on price given the cost of repair but unless you can weld, it won’t be cheap and the rot will be...

Hi and welcome! To begin with, I wondered why a picture of some scaffolding had been posted until I scrolled down further! Nice looking disco. That’s quite a list of preventative maintenance done there too.

The BFG AT’s on my disco 1 were the best tyres I’ve had. They had excellent wear and Road holding for a Land Rover. I’ve currently got Cooper ATR’s on my 90 and they are all terrain but with a slightly more Road-biased pattern and again last well and have good road manners.

Looks very smart. Don’t worry about the non-original engine, all landies are different!

One of the rear hubs developed a slight weep. 🙄

Hi and welcome! Selling the kidney will probably be to pay the ULEZ. But until then, we need pics of the new Landy. We like pics… 😁

Hi and welcome! Very nice looking Landy! A local registration number too. Make sure you also invest in some decent security measures. Landies are popular with thieves.

Have you cleaned the earths? I had similar symptoms on my Tdi recently which were sorted by new battery earths to the body and chassis. My previous Td5 disco had difficulty starting due to a leak from the fuel pipes from the fuel pump too which also let air into the system so worth checking these.

Hi and welcome! If you are handy with spanners, you’ll save yourself a lot of money. There’s lots of help and advice here when you need it. And as mentioned, don’t forget to add some pictures of the new Landy!

Hi and welcome! Lots of good advice and help here! Don’t forget some pictures of your landies! We like pictures!

Wolf rims fitted!😁😁
