disco 200 tdi

yep i got another one but this one is my on road off road toy.
its only a 200tdi but its not needing as much as the raingie which is getting binned
this should only take a few weeks to sort out.
i dont mind sorting every one elses for a living but not having my own toy ready sucks
not doing much to it new police speck springs {nice and soft but +2"} shocks second hand pro comp as we have a few lying around in good condiction.a set of kumo muds and my old snorkil off my fonty.

Bloody hell thought you were abducted by aliens or something its been that long

It will be good for you to get an offroader again so you can get a good mud fix

You don't see many 3 door disco or have I just led a sheltered life?

Their not as popular as the 5 door that is for sure

just been very busy at work mate and playing with my old mercedes at weekends but you are dead right i do need a mud fix
hear is my old merc

My 3 door 200tdi is nearly completed and will be put in for its mot later this week. fingers crossed!

Dicky, that looks like my old one reincarnated!!

Good luck with the MOT Andy, fingers crossed!

it has been reincarnated its taken me ages but hopefully will be worth it.
Its not a gleaming example but she is solid now and mechanically spot on.

got some old rrc wheels which got the minimum amount of elbow grease and a spray

Hope she goes through the MOT ok dicky and its good to here from you mate.

She is a tidy enough looking disco ando

steve she flattered to deceive, but i hope i have sorted all the problems now.

looking forward to driving her again.

mot is not a problem for me all i do is mots all day and i get to build this one at work and not at home in the drive so never getting rained off i also i am a key holder for the garage so i can work at nights and weekends.
i am so glad i went back on the tools and working at a land rover specialist helps

Makes work so much easier when you can get the use of the workshop and all the goodies

things are looking up i got my winch today and a new front bumper.i am making a start at the weekend replacing my sills with new jackabil units and cutting my front arches back so i have clearance for my muds. i was going to fit kumos kh71 as i get them at cost but when i was running insa turbo special tracks on my other trucks they never let me down getting me under, over. thure any thing a tryed so i might just fit a new set at around £67 each it works out cheeper as well i dont now if i should fit a cage in this one as i am planning on going out with tazz and he usaly ends up on his roof. going to strip all of the inside and only having two seats and harnesses

What winch did you buy Dicky ?

One easy way to do the sills is the ando227 and my self did use box section I used 120x60 then welded 50x50 to make rock slider it works

the sills are very easy to do {i am a quaifyed welder fabricator} and that helps lots plus i have a plasma cutter and a new invertor mig at my disposal {yes i no lucky boy }
my winch is a superwinch 12000 with the screwgear drive its slow but very reliabilwith loads of grunt to get me out of the deepest mud

oh yeah baby, my old disco passed her test! All the work and long hours spent on her have been worth it! Its good to have her back!

Nice one mate im pleaced for you so when are you going to get her dirty ?

well done now go get some mud and have a play

got my sills deliverd today bring on the week end and yes its official i have caught LANDROVER desease

where did you get your sills from mate and how much ?

hoping that the new place near inverness will be open soon. she is not modded for extreme stuff and the tyres are standard michelin square bock so won't be much use in clarty mud.
when pennies allow i will get some tyres for the steel wheels for off road, probably will be remould m/t as they will only get limited use.

hi steve i got them made from a coach builders next to my work £20.

any chance of a piccy mate wouldn't mind seeing them.

I hope it wont be long either untill it opens we can all get a meet on the go then too maybe even tempt Dicky up the road
