    Disco 1 OEM Radio Buttons

    My radio is fully functioning but a few of the buttons have fallen off. I am keeping as original as possible, so does anyone know whether the front detaches (if I can get a non-functioning radio), or whether I can get buttons anywhere? It is a 22 DC710/61B. Thanks G

    Disco History - Anyone with knowledge?

The sunroof tray torx screws were rusted and leaking, so replaced with stainless and sealed with butyl sealant. Just checked. No leaks...

    Minimal attention is an exaggeration! I wondered whether it could have been a "phone up for MOT" one....

    Hi everyone. Just joined

    Thank you. I did not mention the MOT was done AFTER I agreed to buy it; the exhaust back box almost fell off on the way home; the petrol tank leaked as soon as I filled it; fog lamp lens nearly fell off... I'm sure it will "drive lovely" once the steering and suspension is sorted!!! But I still...

    How South West are you?

    Bishops Cleeve. North of Cheltenham and any norther would be Midlands! Can't really say it's South West but officially it is. Closer to Brum than Bristol...

    Hi everyone. Just joined

    Thanks for the welcome. Luckily my Disco had all its life in London which should mean less salt exposure - and low miles helps too. Low miles with less than 12k in last 12 years too, but virtually no maintenance for that time - only absolute minimun for MOT. Love V motors. Didn't want a diesel...

    Hi everyone. Just joined

    Hi all. Long time since I had a Landy but at last I am the owner of a Discovery 1 v8. In excellent conditon too. My last Landy was a Series 3 Station Wagon 2.25 back in the late '80's but I'm glad I've got this one - not much rust but will need some welding. Mechanically it has not been looked...
