disco-dad

just insured my disco with Academy,saved £63 .Scott and Matt very helpfull.They do like modified cars and they say that they also insure ex military, Q plates,imports and left hand drive. Scott and Matt both attend a lot of the 4x4 shows and were keen to know what i had done to my vehicle . call them free on 0800 316 6266

just got my renewal from frank pickles,same insurer as past 2 years and £55 dearer than last year,may still try academy though and see what they quote.cant understand why they are cancelling other peoples policies though.going to phone them tomorrow.

paddocks sell calipers with a 12mm mounting hole,when i changed my non vented discs to vented from a rrc the caliper didnt fit but the new ones with the bigger hole went straight on

Hi everyone, as the title says,has any one fitted a 300 intercooler into a 200 tdi discovery,the only reason i'm asking is that my standard intercooler is shot and i can get a 300 alisport one from someone i know. I know the outlets are in different positions and was wondering if there is a lot of work involved in the pipe mods any help appreciated Martin

thanks for the links, very helpful l

Think i'll just use the old one.if i hadn't taken it off i would have been none the wiser about the crack.Couldn't believe that price!!! ps just gone onto the site,they do a pattern part for £50 +vat but unsure whether to get it or continue to use what i've got.the crack is quite long but i dont know how long it has been in there,may be worrying for nothing and not sure what would happen if it got worse and failed

hi everyone,whilst doing my cambelt i noticed that the crankshaft damper behind the crankshaft pulley has a crack in the main part next to the woodruff key slot.i would like to change this part as there is also a groove in the shaft where the oil seal has worn away.does anyone know where i can get one of these. also whilst i'm on,would aftermarket gaskets and front cover oil seal be ok or should i try to get genuine,oil seal i can get but gaskets all seem to be aftermarket ones. thanks Martin

very nice

3rd vote for ctek.excellent product that not only charges but reconditions tired batteries.

another vote for the numax from tayna,got two in my disco,fires up straight away even on the coldest day

got two in my disco,impressed with them. Also got them from Tayna .excellent delivery,can even be next day.Check out the reviews on their website

missus bought me a hi-lift jack,base and cover,son got me some parts for the onboard air set up. nice

another vote for goldfish,especially with a bow 2 fitted

bought mine yesterday,sons also got one and his mate.really long beam of light and really bright.excellent value

Liking that,a lot of work has gone into that by the look of it .

some one bought our camper for £10,000 in cash.we both went to my bank and they counted it out and checked all the notes were genuine.The buyer suggested that we do this for peace of mind for both parties.

285/75/16 fedima sirocco.similar to simex pattern excellent off road.measure 33.5 inches

looking good,not far to go now.Got to admire your patience

cheers nige.i'm thinking of changing them for something bigger anyway,33's or maybe even 35"s.just cant make up my mind which brand to go for.i mainly go to pay and play days with my son (ricky tango) but he thinks that i should go for something with an aggresive tread pattern only running standard diffs,no lockers etc. most of the aggresive ones have a low speed rating,so i'm not sure whether bfg km2's for eg would pull me through the mud as well as say insa turbo's it's ok for him with all of the gadgets in the axles Martin

hi mate, how's it going.did you get the mot!!!!

hi mate ,any more done to the disco lately

hi everyone.just wondering what the legalities are of running offroad tyres on the road.tyres in question are fedimma sirrooco's.the speed rating for these is J or 62 mph.any input welcomed. p.s tyres are 31x10.5x15 on mods.fitted to a modified disco with 2" lift

cant wait to see this finished,excellent thread

you seem to know your stuff.fantastic quality fabrication.my disco 200 was no where near that bad.keep up the good work

also with mr pickles, heavily modified discovery.£155 full comp
