what a ****e fault, ended up being the new heavy duty isolator switch! When testing for voltage at the starter it shows 13 volts, but obviously not letting current through as it should. Nightmare. Cheers for the reply though Discool

Please excuse if this has been asked before, can't find a thread on it. My disco has been standing outside for about 2 months, went to start it on Friday - flat battery. Charged him overnight and tested it batt ok. Back in the D1 and nothing on the dash lights up.... had a scratch about and...

Hi guys, A friend of mine in South Africa is having problems with his 2010 Freelander and would like to change it to a 4X2 as he only does road miles in the truck. Am I right in saying you remove the rear drive shafts / Prop shaft? I have heard that there is some sort of blanking plate that...

Took a year and half to build!!! Thanks mate

That's true mate, but I'll be going for IVA test with mine, as I want it road legal. Paul from tomcat motorsport has just passed one of his builds, big job mind... Some people just MOT them as the donor vehicle, ie defender or RRC and declare mods on insurance...?

Aaahhh, now I was told series 3, so this might be the issue then...? In which case I'll have to make series 2/3 tops fit by matching the pins to the door, as I can't see any series 1 door tops on flea bay....

Thanks for you're reply, the doors are standard off a series 3 I believe... Yes you're right it's pretty much a defender chassis with the bowler tomcat frame and body panels mounted on. Just busy fitting the front arches...

Photos attached, the measurements I'm on about is the door top lacking pins that slot into the door and is secured by 2x nuts on the inside. The pins are 69cm apart and the holes on the door are 70vm apart, is thus just due to a bad batch?? Cheers

I'll take some photos tonight. Tomcat is a self build comp safari truck, follow the link: http://www.tomcatmotorsport.co.uk. I'll put the pics on tonight. Cheers

Hi guys/ girls, Sorry if this has been asked before, couldn't find a thread tho... I've got series doors on my tomcat, but the door top pins don't locate in the slots on the door itself.... The distance between the centres of the locating holes is 70cm, seems all the tops are 69cm... Seems a...

Morning All, I've recently bought my 3.9 disco, and will be turning it into a trailer.... Been looking around on the internet for small upgrades to do to the engine, the disco has only done about 50k miles, so im assuming it wont need much doing to it (cam followers etc) for another 20k or so...

Ok thanks, much appreciated! :)

Hi James/Buster, you guys wouldn't know the thread or part Nr for the pipe with the different thread on the 3 bolt box, (the non interchangeable one). I have one here, but for the life of me can't get a fitting for it... Thanks Loz

Thanks mate!!

Hi guys, Sorry if this question has been asked before, but after searching the forum for the last couple of days I have found nothing that's exactly what I'm after... Where can I find a diagram of where all the different vacuum / air pipes connect to on the intake manifold (?is the intake...

Hi does anyone know where I can get hold of a wiring diagram for my 1998 disco? bought it as a cat C due to fire damage, replaced the fuse box and taped up some wires, and she's running!! :) But there's still a few wires / components burnt/missing... Another question while I'm on here is; is it...

Yep pinion oil seals passing in a big way... I have a spare diff off a d1 so had a practice run yesterday.... All manner of pullers failed, heat is the best way by the look of it! :flame: Thanks for the reply!

Morning All, Is the rear diff (24 spline) on a disco 2 td5 the same as a 300 disco 1?? And is the general consensus of getting the drive flange cap (which covers the flange nut) off, using heat? Thanks in advance
