I have the commercial version which came out of the factory with no rails .. dont know why being a commercial you'd think they'd come in handy .... Anyway all depends on what else you have done to the disco to balance up the lack of bars.

To remove the horizontal bars is simple there is a spring catch. To remove the rails you need to take out the interior headliner and unbolt them from inside ! Not a pleasant or quick job to do ! TPK

Thats one nice looking disco http://www.islandrover.is/islandrover/uplo...mot_2004/89.jpg

Thanks Tonk .. thats great info ... those pneumatic components will do for joining my existing breathers to longer lengths too !

Really ? cool, never heard of this ... just drill and tap all these to fit a banjo is it ?

Fair comment ... Actually i have some spare bits of the new pipe from the axle lengths so i'll get some joiners and make it easy Anyone have any comments on fitting the timing cover breather ? I have heard some for and some against the idea ?

X2 on the seat tilting That commercial dog guard is well noisy. Just removed mine for the same reasons. Makes it feel like you got alot more space.

If you want silicon call Allisport .. thats where i got mine ..

I take it this is the preffered method ? Its just the new kit i have has got new banjo connections etc ... Is it too much of a PITA to replace the whole pipe then ? Thanks, TPK

Hi All, Got a new wading kit for my 1996 D1 Manual box .... Anyone got any tips on the best way to access the breather pipes for gear and transfer box ? Also where are they ? Thanks in advance TPK

Hi all, I have been offered this kenlowe fan real cheap from a 96' Clio Diesel. Its a 15" Fan. Will this be ok for a 96' Disco 300TDI ? I know i'll have to fix it in somehow but wondered whether the fan motor was up to the job ? Cheers TPK

I believe its STC4379 ... This is the kit with oil seals etc .. all you need to swap the flange Its well worth doing ... apparently the non serviceable UJ's in the DC joint dont last long but i am gonna wear these out and replace with heavy duties cos at the mo they seem sound. TPK

Sorted it .. just need a helping foot on the brake and a scaffold tube on the breaker bar ! Now running TD5 DC prop and no vibes !!! feels like new again

White90 - Thanks for the comp info, I'll keep an eye out for this southwest challenge scene. Need to sort out the truck first then i'll be looking to enter later in the year. Andy - Thanks for the breaker bar and jack tip, this should do the trick. TPK241

Thanks White90, I am up in Frome. A bit far from exmoor i think. Very kind of you to offer though. I think you replied to my post on the D44 site too Do you do comp's or challenges in somerset at all ? TPK241

Hi All, Happy new year to start with .... then Any ideas how to get the Transfer Box Front output Flange Bolt off without buying the tool for 70quid ? Any tips would be apprieciated .. Thx TPK

Hi All. Just fitted new door seals to my disco 1 and now the drivers door has to be leant on in order to get the handle to open the door ! Anyone have any experience of dealing with this ? THX TPK

Anyone give me any advice on what to paint my axels with ? Want a gloss finish thats easy to clean ... Cheers TPK

Thanks very helpful indeed .. TPK

Sorry basic question guys .. but where are the lock stops to adjust steering lock .... after the lift my P-side tyre is rubbing and its now getting on my wick THX TPK

Aye thats the one Andy !!! I think rivets is gonna be the way to go .. I've got one of the h-fords landy touch up kits so that'll disguise the .. THX TPK

Thanks .. have you got any pics ? THX TPK

I have chopped out my arches to fit flares to the old disco ... What i have found now is they are weak as hell and after doing a day on the plains with lots of underwater action the drivers wing is now flapping all over the shop !!! Basically the panel has seperated from the upright that bolts in front of the door, could i use liquid metal or something to bond this back onto the wing panel ? I want to avoid pop rivets all down the wing really ! Lastly does anyone have any ideas or experience is strengthening them up or adding additional mounting points ? THX TPK

I got GKN / Spicer UJ's for my double cardon overhaul ... They were the HD ones with grease nipples ... paid about 14quid each for them. I'll try and dig out a part# TPK

Thanks for letting me know .. I'll wait and see .. but will probably turn up for a gander regardless .. Cheers TPK
