    200 tdi Discovery sills

    I reckon on the next mot the sills will need replacing on my Disco, looking a bit ropey i noticed yesterday, so how hard or easy are they to replace. getting new ones welded on aint a problem, just wondering how difficult?

    daft question and easy , but i do need to know..

    Yes all discoverys are permanent 4 wheel drive. As are freelanders and range rovers i think. Trust me, stick a caravan on the back and you will notice the difference between permanent and non permanent 4 wheel drive. Especially going round bends.

    Couple of questions?

    Ok, got a couple of jobs to do on my disco to get her up to scratch, mainly through lack of use i think. So an help or opinions would be appreciated: 1. Wipers. They are really really slow, is this a common problem with motor/assembly needing lubricating or should i just change the motor? They...

    So why did you buy a Landy? (Christmas thread)

    Because after 18 months i really really missed my first one. Frontera was ok, when bits stopped falling off. Shogun was, well, a shogun. I wanted to go back to a disco, a bit of character, and you know, you just know if it ever hits the fan the disco will do what you want it too, when you want...

    newbie asking questions.

    To be fair the shogun drove more like a car than a 4x4, but you know its also a lot bigger vehicle, or if feels it. 2.5 TD was really really sluggish, and thats how they are. But you just dont seem to see many with high mileage on them, they cant take it. If you look round whats about the discos...

    Ive got it!!!!!

    Im pretty pleased with it. Started looking round for a few things im after, side steps deffo ,possibly an A bar but the sponge ones. And the front, i really dont know what to do, if i should invest in a full conversion on the headlights, or try and find a grill with the 2 built in for the...

    Ive got it!!!!!

    It was serviced 2 weeks ago :D As i drove off the guy stood in the middle of the road and watched me go and go. I swear he had a tear in his eye, seriously.

    Ive got it!!!!!

    Its actually a 1990. The guy has had it as a weekend project for years, and now his missus is sick of it and they bought a motorhome, so she wants to toodle round country instead of him playing with the car. Its got 87k on the clock,full interior dash upgrade and you can see the condition. It...

    Disco far too FAST!!!!

    Seriously, my previous Disco had 127k on when i sold it, and was a good solid reliable plodder. My frontera 2.5 was quick-ish. The F&%**&^&ing shogun was slower than a dead snail, again 2.5. But.........this Disco ive just bought absolutely flew when i drove it home. Top end i dont know, got to...

    Which workshop manual

    Is the Haynes manual any different than the ones you see for sale on Ebay on CD? If so,which is better? Is there more info on the CD or in the book? I know if i buy the cd i can just browse the pages i want and print them off etc etc etc as and when, but when im away in the caravan i can read...

    Interior upgrade, good or bad?

    Thanks for the opinion, mucho gratsias. The guy has spent well on the disco, so i reckon its a proper jobby. Im gonna see if i can buy it later.

    Interior upgrade, good or bad?

    Anyone???? Got to make my decision on this today.
  14. Lenny

    newbie asking questions.

    Im also a newbie on this site/forum, but not to cars or 4x4's. I made the silly mistake of selling a disco and buying a frontera, then a shogun. I do all my own work on my cars, and treat them like my children (cost less as well). You will get problems with any vehicle, but the one factor that...

    door lock

    Rather than pay £50 for one solenoid, you can get a full set of universals which will fit, £24 off ebay brand new.

    Interior upgrade, good or bad?

    Im after a discovery 200 tdi, and the guy who owns it has upgraded the whole interior to a 300 tdi spec. Dash, seats, door trims everyhting. Now is there anything i should be concerned about with this upgrade, any difference in heating or ventilation i should check, is dash a correct fit from...

    Headlight conversion?

    Thanks guys.
  18. Lenny

    Headlight conversion?

    Im on the hunt for a Disco, and ive found a series 1 200 tdi with 75k on the clock, absolutely mint. Anyway, is it easy to do a conversion from the 200 lights and grill to a 300 lights and grill? I like the front of the 300's better and if i go for this 200 i wanna upgrade the lights. Ta in advance.

    Firstly an apology :(

    I apologise unreservedly for any Disco owners out there for my change of heart and selling my Disco in favour of a frontera. Then i sold that, as it fell to bits, and bought a Shogun, which has just blew up 2 days ago on the grand total mileage of 94,000.:eek: Sorry sorry sorry, why oh why...
