can anyone give me a opinion on this?
particularly what is it worth and what will the engine likely cost?
an are those airbags normal???
thanks guys.

i get some really strange looks when i wave in my signwritten works van lol
-
i get waved at in my disco by defender drivers. im thinking it might be the aggressive tyres, winch, snorkel and steering guard (and dents) that acknowledge that it goes off road.

disco 1 or 2?
in the disco 1 there is a 2nd battery bay behind the other headlight.

Having had to deal with them in a previous life I've never had much of a fondness for the Rover V8.
Must admit, if I had to have a petrol-powered LR I'd go either for a blown T16 as fitted to the Rover 820 Turbo [and in non-turbo form to the Discovery MPi so all the hardware to mate it to the gearbox-of-your-preference already exists] or the 2.8 straight-six M52 BMW [again used by Land-Rover in South Aftica so the hard-parts are already in existence].
The M52 is a lovely engine which just loves to rev - unlike the LR V8 offerings...!
t16? really?
i have a disco mpi and whilst on paper it is nearly as powerful as a tdi, it has NO torque at low end (not something that would change with a turbo/supercharger) and drinks fuel. i mean 8mpg whilst towing less than 1ton behind it. i get more from a fully freighted 7.5tonner! (and easily beaten by a rv8)

i feel i should stick my nose in from one who has receltly tried to do the take a standard disco offroad thing.
the first time i went to a pay and play day with my totally standard truck(with a winch bolted on, of course, stupid not to) i had a lot of fun but broke a few things.... like my front steering arm for instance. that prompted me to buy decent tyres and a steering guard
that's all folks. ive not since broken anything bar one window sliding into a tree (got a bit ambitious on a punch hunt lol) the disco is very capable but the mods i have done i would consider essential if you want to be able to drive it home at the end of the day..
tyres because high speed road tyres have 0 grip
steering guard because you are not always going to see that lump of granite or tree stump
winch because you are new at this and it would be nice to be able to drag yourself out of the **** you just got yourself in....

Can dig out details if required, but away from home at present and only armed with a phone.
Google motorbike speedo correction.
Might be a little device someone real clever like Mr Wabbit could knock up without variable settings for a lot less than I paid.
I use Cruise Control every day and on long journeys like popping to the Alps it's almost essential in my view.
I used the very helpful ratio calculator on the Ashcroft site to total up the overall change with taller tyres and Over Drive and adjusted the pulses down by the same percentage.
The Speedo feeds the ECU so fitting after the speedo means the input from the transfer box transducer isn't affected and therefore doesn't change the speedo reading.
i think you're talking about the speedo-healer....
these guys make it
-
i want one.

i used this stuff on my snorkle. flexible and tough, but cheaper than silicone.
perfect for my application. and available in different diameters.
-
thought for the day.
if a hill looks slippery and you know you'll need to be able to stop at the bottom, then just dont..
oops.
slid it sideways into a tree....

they cant do anything, its fully legal.

The trouble is that I'm running out of space in the double garage - panels take up a lot of room, and though the wings and trim are going up in the rafters, the bonnet, doors, tail gate and roof can't. I have no idea where I'll store the seats...
just do what i did and put them in the dining room

any manufaturers 'DIY' range are carp. they wont put up with normal use, never mind the abuse i expect my tools to put up with. (for example, undoing shock mounts with a 1" breaker bar... with a scaffold pole on the end.)
so you can be sure any tool i reccommend will be very rugged. but usually have a price tag to suit.
and on that note...

you wont do better than one of those.
however. if you dont need the runtime (and torque)...
