Also another interesting issue is when I put on my indicator it ticks quick like I have a dead bulb, all bulbs are good. When I put on the hazards it ticks normally but the trailer light flashes, there is no trailer connected and so I am not sure why it thinks there is. How do I fix that?

The battery lost charge one night, charged it up the next day and it started on the first turn of the key no thoughts about it. Must be getting the old fuel out of the system by now too.

That was what my thoughts were, when locking it did seem lazy and unlocking it didn't want to do but key in the door solves that. I'd say once the car is in daily use it may improve.

Yeah so I have had a look under neath the car prior to purchasing and also since purchasing I have been spending most of my free time with it, doing things to it, and making it not a biohazard, All arches bar the front right are good, both sills need doing inner and outer (500 without labour)...

And fit the new exhaust, bumper, sills, and lower tailgate hinge.

Yeah the money pit has begun but it isn't too far away from being on the road. I have driven it in my friend's field since my original post and the car runs and drives brilliantly, the gearbox and clutch are A1. All electrics work bar the radio which I do have the code for thankfully. First...

Thanks will have a look at it, checked the boot floor the other day, some surface rust but solid all round thankfully. Definitely need to do all the seals as the carpet is wet. My friend and I are discussing turning his garage full of stuff into a workshop for both of our Land Rovers (He has 2...

Thanks for the bit of history, I've seen somewhere online say there was only 150 made. I have 2 keys and 2 fobs for the car, only one locks the car neither unlock it, unlocking it with the key works fine bar the back left door which as you suggest could be that. I'd say its an issue with the fobs

Simplest fix of them all, thank you

Thanks Mick, will get that for myself

All photos are the worst of the rust on the car (bar b pillar and inside the rear right door). If anyone who's dealt with Rusty Disco 1s can tell me whether I'll need a new half chassis and how extensive the work is on the sills (ie. new sills) it would be much appreciated. Thanks Billy

Hi all, My first post here, I am the proud owner of a slightly rusty two tone Red and Grey Disco 1 with Discovery 150 running along the side of it as of about 4 days ago. What I am looking for is advice on how to solve some issues with the car. First issue is that the car takes a while to...
