Hi , Have had landies since 1963 when I purchased a series1 for £45. Last was a disco 300, 25 years old and Sent to razor blade factory. Was hoping to buy a disco3 but so many horror stories decided against. Unfortunetely once a land owner always a landy at heart. At 82 thinking of looking for...

I have one but NO no disco to go with it. Problem it is somewhere in the house but WHERE! Shall have a search.

Forgot to mention, awarded MBE for services rendered, possibly long time landy ownership.:)

My time of life hair gone teeth gone attraction to fairer sex gone, car very comfortable, underneath NO CORROSION (rust). Me fitted pace maker, severed Achilles - medic cannot believe .no use for sticks etc, called me a stubborn B######d. Still miss Green oval.

If I am about in 23 yrs I'll be a sprightly 103. Don't need to tow 3.5 tons, my tractor will manage the boat ok. As I mentioned would have gone for a d3 or d4 but too many acquaintances of mine have stated electronics seem to be not up to the mark. From my first landy (series 1) through series...

After a lifetime of land rover ownership in particular discovery 1 ownership and relationship with Mr rust I have defected to a Nissan X Trail. I investigated possible owning a disco 3 or 4, but, after discussing with owners of disco 3/4 and being advised extreme cost because of the amount of...

Thanks for the help, In the end I drilled a hole in the top of the tank and pumped out some fuel, in the end gave it up as a lost cause. Sadly the end of an era covering ownership of land rovers since 1963 to present day. Having looked at the possibilities of buying a disco 3/4 I took the...

I have a previous thread relating to this 300tdi. which was headed my disco has died due to Mr rust in chassis. I am hoping that someone would want the running gear especially the engine and the new cylinder head and radiator , starter motor and clutch, starter and clutch not done 500 miles...

The running gear (engine tremendous as is gear box - new clutch & starter, with less tha 1000 miles since fitted) and most other components for a disco 300 TDI (in fact everything works as it should) for sale including the chassis and body. T he package comes as a whole, still some MOT on...

Following on from previous;- Spent a few days looking for a disco 3 or 4. Every garage selling land rovers, mainly freelanders could not offer me any of the mentioned 3 / 4. All I was getting was Too unreliable to put onto the forecourt, most had a fairly good stock of freelanders. Another...

After 25 years, 15 of which in my ownership the disco is no longer fit for service due to Mr RUST. Have renwewd the inner body, boot, sills, arched, front inner wings but chassis is in need of renewing. Certainly not for me to do, too old. So the excellent running gear is up for sale. I am...

At last due for 2nd shot tomorrow, longest trip for disco to supermarket, less than 1000 miles since last July. Lock down finished in Wales, disco running ok, looking for open road, hopefully do some fishing. Still hankering after a disco 3/4. A neighbour has 3 plus a range rover disco hybrid...

Forgot to mention the back door decided to stay shut, preparing to dismantle the inner to get at the lock and I tkought Give the door latch a good rattle. After a few rattles the lock releases and door opens. I do believe land rover locks were invented by a sadistic sod. Hve given the lock a...

Have not been on the forum for some time, lock down and isolation and the fact that travelling is frowned on so I have got to know every corner in the house and on first name terns with every spider. Did find some work needing to be done to the disco, some welding on the main chassis, beats me...

At last disco returned after fitting clutch and slave cylinder. Wallet extremely bruised the clutch kit was £90, fitting including vat £540. Had made my mind up previously, that if an expensive job was in the offing then disco be sent to the razor blade factory. Unfortunately was on holiday...

Valeo considerably cheaper, it seemed that vat was being attached again.

Worst news, fork gave up the ghost so complete clutch, wallet said "OUCH". Ordered clutch kit from foundry 4, Friday morning delivered Saturday unfortunately the garage in the middle of no where (Gower) closed, so parcel force has deposited kit in an unknown place. Hope to find out tomorrow...

Have rec'd a message from garage that the slave cylinder collapsed into bits, waiting new cylinder, no idea of cost so far.

Disco 300tdi 1996 vintage, 172k miles. Travelling at 30mph last night suddenly felt the disco jerk and the feeling was that something wrong with the drive train, also at same time clutch pedal dropped a couple of inches. Kept driving as normal, coming to a hill with traffic lights at the top of...

The door is opening as I mentioned a sharp jiggle of the handle and the mechanism moved, thr problem I have now is that the lock barrel is loose and has moved about 5mm out of line, cannot find the cause without stripping the card from the door and removing the lock handle mech from inside.
