    Disco 2 Front bumper cracked

    I had colour coded gaffer tape on mine for years until a minor bump, shatered it, not worth repairing as it was so brittle, so I opted for a 5mm steel one, if yours did the same its just years of sun damage, well Ivery happy with this one

    Gear grind after 1/2 chassis

    the Brake pipes replacement have nothing to do with the clutch, bleeding the clutch can be difficult, so when you press the peddle were does it bite, if at the very bottom I would say in needs bleeding as you may have air in it, did they remove the gear box and TC box to fit the new 1/2 chassis...
