Show us your Disco

[Redback]

Just thought for my first post i'd do this, so come on show off your Disco:D

I love this car, it's had it's issues, but only minor, it has taken us everywhere we wanted to go without any problems and towing a heavy camper, from the Simpson to the High Country it's never missed a beat:BigThumb:

[MickG]

Here's my pride and joy which I love to death. Takes me and the family places I would never have dreamed I could get to only a few years ago:D
'99 Manual TD5, MD lockers front and rear, 4.11 diff gears, 33" Silverstone MT1177 Sports, Custom rear bar, Modified ARB winch bar, etc etc etc:D

[Chucaro]

Very nice rig Mike, which kind of modifications you done in the bull bar?

[MickG]

Very nice rig Mike, which kind of modifications you done in the bull bar?

I have added some eyes on the front in line with the chassis rails and had some plate steel welded around those for added strength. The same eyes are fitted to my rear bar and all are painted red.

Have spent so much money on the thing but I just can;t help myself. She goes places in comfort and always gets me home again:D Long list of mods which is only getting longer.

Aye, Mick

[stevo68]

Did you need to put a lift kit on that to clear the 33"s?

[MickG]

Did you need to put a lift kit on that to clear the 33"s?

Yes, currently have a 40mm King spring lift. Bilsteins on the front and extended pedders on the rear. I get some slight rubbing at full compression and with the steering lock on but nothing too worry about really. Guard chop will hapen eventually when I have time.

1997 V8i

I bought it in September after always wanting one. Stock standard except for dual fuel.

It is the most comfortable, driveable car I have ever owned and I love it.

It is the first car I have owned in 15 years not fitted with a roo bar and, Sod's Law being what it is, I hit the first kangaroo in my life two weeks ago.

Finished repairing this today and tomorrow a hefty ARB bull bar is to be fitted.

The colour is that very dark blue - is this called Oslo Blue?

How to post that photo:
First have two windows of web browser open or tabs in firefox.... one with your AULRO message writing pane, the other with the website with your photo.

1. Find out what the photos URL etc address is.
2. To do this - R click (in windoz machine) the photo from your website where your photo resides (in properties)
3. From the little window that comes up after R click of photo Find URL of photo and copy that using mouse drag/swipe.
4. Paste into the little message editing box with the litle square and someting that loks like a mountain silouette in the AULRO message window.
5. preview post.

voila...

Noticed your a WA boy fleabag keep an eye out for trips out as we get out n about on the different tracks around the place and its allways family friendly and its allways good to have another Disco in the ranks

Go the Disco :D

[29dinosaur]

the person who owned the disco prior to myself must have removed the nice "land Rover" decal off the bonnet..... now how just boring blue nose to bonnet. Disappointing not to to be flashing the words about as I drive. But then again I bought it as a work horse and not to be posey...

Thanks for that, Pedro. I will attempt to post a pic that way.with the new bull bar on later today.

Was it removed or did some models not have the decal. My D1 never had the Land Rover decal on the bonnet either (post #27 in this thread) - I was told at the time that there were some that came out without. Everything else about that vehicle seemed to be original, even the decals on the sides.

I have a small liking for Discovery's of the Diesel variety...

Love there versatility, there styling & there superior "Command Driving Position". Just all in all a great vehicle.
All 3 of the Discos had/have over 200k km's, All reliable as long as u maintain them.
Have a good one all.

[Chucaro]

Nice Discos mate, of the three I have a soft spot for the Tdi300. Cheers

[sniegy]

Thanks Chucaro,
Seeing i work on them every day, i too like the 300, just for its sheer simplicity...ah those were the days!
I have 2 young daughters & the small amount of extra room in the TD5 was perfect, My wife also loves the TD5, which is also a good thing;)

I wanted a Disco since 1995 when a mate's parents bought a Tdi and they let me drive it - such a lucky bugger. She was manual and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So 12 years later, I finally got mine, purchased first week of Feb '07:

Built Nov '00, first registered in April I think 2001. Td5, 5 seater, no ACE or SLS. Currently has 189K kms on the clock. I'm the 3rd owner but the 2nd owner bought it from Lance Dixon LR for their round Australia Trip but had a massive heart attack and died only 2 months after purchase. She sat in the garge for 12 months till I bought her.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/02/521.jpg (http://www.aulro.com/app/showphoto.php/photo/8948)

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/02/522.jpg (http://www.aulro.com/app/showphoto.php/photo/8949)

Since purchase I've taken off the factory steps and sold for a pretty penny on ebay, fitted an ARB Winch Bullbar, GME TX3400 UHF and Motorola GM950Plus VHF Radios, installed an old aftermarket Pioneer stereo with 12 stacker, 12" sub and amp. I've also made up a rear work/camp light which is telescopic; will post pics when I have one.

As she is at the moment (less the mud usually :p)

Adam, you have a nice rig there, from were you got the snorkel ?
I was about to order one from overseas because I do not like the plastic ones available here.

Mine is a 200tdi so it has a air box like the V8's not like the 300 take a look at the pics below

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2008/10/921.jpg

Its made from 316 3" stainless tube and using 3" intercooler pipe from ebay and I got the snorkal top from a tractor supplyer from Victoria all up it costs arount $150 and took about 2 hours to do

mate looks brill. gives me an idea to make a similar one but installed through the panel, mantek style rather than through the panel.

cheers

[Chucaro]

Yes I was thinking in importing the ones form Southdown 4x4, you can see them in this link:
Southdown 4 x 4 Raised Air intakes, Snorkels (http://www.southdown4x4.co.uk/RaisedAirIntake.htm)

[agrojnr]

Chucaro I like them ones also but with the 200tdi I would have needed a really tight bend at the air box

Also when the tube is behind the panel I don't think a 3" OD will fit?


Adam

[Chucaro]

I think of them for my Tdi300. I have to investigate further

Yes I was thinking in importing the ones form Southdown 4x4, you can see them in this link:
Southdown 4 x 4 Raised Air intakes, Snorkels (http://www.southdown4x4.co.uk/RaisedAirIntake.htm)

if you could get hold of the base and the top you could get the pipe for a lot less im sure!, to cut down the cost :D

Adam
yeah mate cut em myself there is a bit to it as you have to seal the gap in the iner and outer door skin but if you take your time it isnt that hard

if you by the fiberglass flares the kit comes with every thing you need but i lengthened my wheelbas by 2 inches and fitted gq diffs so the fiberglass flare would not fit my truck

Heres my 96 disco, just put some MT's on her and a new exhaust, other than that stock.
Planning on 2" lift, window tint, stereo upgrade, Front bar and maybe a rear locker to start with.:D

New exhaust sounds awesome, definatly bit more grunt down low and with the 75 series tryes, gets along quit nicely. Thirsty lil bugger though:o Everyone knows when im home................:D

Arrived in Adelaide on a Friday, walked down the road to a couple of car sales yards on Saturday. One yard had 2 Disco's a V8 auto with 220K and a Tdi 300 manual with 300K's 96 and 95 respectively $10 990 and $6 990 respectively, so I got the cheep one cheaper. Spent 2K at TRS the following week, I’m happy, that was 3 weeks ago. We have yet to discover (pun intended) where we can go and can not go, furthest we have been is gumeracha to pat a wallaby ( Minnie me did the patting and screaming he’s 20 months)

sorry should have been a bit more clear, full service history, untill 280Ks. i spent $2K on a new wind screen, couple of oil leakes, and just in case, cam belt/ all belts, all fluids, new disks pads,and a good general huck though.

as to where to go, i just doint know the area, i doint know what is private land etc or where the tracks are, good camping spots etc, but that will come with time.

Not a great pic, but the only one I have at present...

Would like to get him to look a little more "rock", but time and money, well...

Should have gone for a 4" lift (have decided the police are too busy doing other things than worry about a moderate lift :) ), roof rack and one of those trick rear bars for the D2

My 1998 3 door 4.6Efi Disco with dual sill tanks, Wolf rims, ARB front end, Ramsey RIP8000, Dobinsons front and rear,Twin Optimas, back seats removed and a bunch of other stuff.

[2 rocks]

Hey Streaky
Nice rig! BTW...who, what, how etc - those wheel arch flares? I want me some of those...:twisted:

Nice looking Jeep in the background too!

Cheers
Mike

[Fleabag]

I didn't know the three-door models continued to be built alongside the five-door models as late as this.

[streaky]

I got the flares from a chap on Ebay in UK. They were around 150 pounds for four which looking back was quite expensive.
To be honest I wouldn't buy them again either...these ones are fibre glass which can be quite brittle. There's a flexible plastic version out now which are the same price and are much more suitable for off roading. They advertise in the Rover mags...sorry I really can't remember the name of the company. When I find it I'll post it up somewhere.

My Disco was one of 900 built specificaly for the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Interior. Built in 1998 with a basic spec of 3.9efi (I changed mine to 4.6 a few years later), LHD, manual R380 box, electric windows, central locking, steel rims and they were all in white colour.

When the Saudi's received them they rejeced the whole consignment because they thought they were getting the new Disco II. The local dealer had already paid the import duty on them and had to flog them off fast to make way for the new delivery....me and my mates bought 7 of them for less than half the showroom tag price!
They come up in the Landy amgs quite often these days....I still love mine...it's taken me all around the middle east and has only let me down a few times in the desert.
First time was a busted rear diff and the second was a blown head gasket 800km away from home in the desert of Oman. I fixed it on the spot with assistance of a satellite phone and a mini bus who bought the gasket set up from the nearest town that was 600km away.

The J33p belongs to a hairdresser mate of mine:angel:

[Ken]

well Ive tried 5 times to upload pics know how to do it but its not playing the game

[2 rocks]

Cool! I'll have to start looking for those flexi ones then! :)
Awww, don't be like that, Streaky! A lot Jeep folk respect Landy's and vice versa...and I don't own a single pair of sharp scissors, lololol! :D

Cheers
Mike

[2 rocks]

Ken you really are just teasing aren't you?

[stuee]

Hopefully attached are pics of my disco. Apart from std height replacement springs, some 245/70 BFG's and some rock sliders its standard. I'm pretty sure I've taken this car to its limits and then some (bent steering arm and busted steering damper, probably 10L less capacity in the fuel tank:D and other misc items).

While I'm at uni I'm paying just to keep it on the road. Graduating at the end of this year and then I'll get to drop some coin on it:twisted:. Mild to start with - 2" lift, 33's, cut arches and depending on time available custom bars to suite a 2" body lift :D.

[stuee]

wow , I was just about to ask him the same q , what timing Barjop?:eek:

They are by a bloke called Michael Samootin who runs 4x4 Design and Engineering. Dunno if hes still about.

They are excellent sliders. Tricky to install (lots of fiddling to get them to fit) but so worth it. When we first started 4wding we busted the sidesteps good on a rock so I got some rock sliders:D. Used them a few times too:cool:

Very strong construction but wasn't to impressed with the powder coating. Don't think they were cleaned properly first and the rust has started coming through (Not an issue yet as their very thick walled). When I do the guard chop they will have to come off and get shortened so I will fix it all up then.

Shes in need of a mud bath I recon

I have to catch up to you blokes with all the lockers and new bits n peices on your cars mate :p

Im afraid to say though Im retiring the old girl from serious duty(Tourer now)
and am in the process of aquiring a new toy to punt in the scrub (still a V8 though) Something a little older :twisted:

Here is an updated one I took of mine today.

Nice Siska

What size tyres are they?

[Siska]

Nice Siska

What size tyres are they?

They are 285/75R16 Overall dimension of 840mm which i guess makes them around 33inch?

And as you can see I need to trim the panels up a little more. I tried to do the minimum hoping I would get away with it, but unfortunately we didn't. So if anybody has some pix of how to trim the guards nicely and some nice 'cheap' flares I could put on then I would greatly appreciate it.

[PeterM]

Are they mounted on the stock rims? I thought they would've needed 8" wide with a 25mm offset to run those.

[Siska]

Are they mounted on the stock rims? I thought they would've needed 8" wide with a 25mm offset to run those.

Yep stock rims. At first the fronts used to catch a little on the protection arm at full lock. But a small adjustment and they are fine now.

at coles crossing near mt compass today. track was good fun for me. there were better sections but only got pics at the beginning. from my reading of this traack, i thought it'd be really boring and quite flat. it's quite fun though. i can see it'd be tough when wet. the water crossing was only about 40cm deep today.

how do i embed small vids from photobucket?

Mt D2 V8, standard except for the Mondial wheels fitted when new. I've fitted a Scangauge II and the OE console cupholders. Planning to fit a CDL linkage, maybe 18in A/Ts or a set of 16in wheels with A/Ts. No hard core off-roading in this one, just some interstate highway trips, a few camper trailer trips with the family and a bit of work stuff.

[Basil135]

Thanks guys.

I love the leather, but that steering wheel gives me the shudders everytime I look at it.

When we were doing the deal for the car, I tried to get the dealer to have it dyed black... Seems as thou he "wasn't able to find anyone" :mad:

But that aside, I am very happy with it, and with the dealer. They have gone out of their way to help, including pulling the dash out to find an annoying squeak behind there. Still looking for that one.

[simonr23]

i have an annoying rattle from what seems under the rubber mat area on the trans tunnel. i'm ready to grow claws and start digging! your car looks beautiful though, inside and out. i'm with you about the 2-tone steering wheel.

Funny you should mention the rattle.

Over the past couple of days, I have heard a noise that the best way to describe it would be a marble in the ashtray. It is only there when I take off from a total stop, but not there when I brake.

I have pulled everything out of the glove box, removed the ash tray & coin holder, taken everything out of the centre cubby box, and still cant find it.

I am about to go an have a look under the seats with a torch, and just see...

A $2 coin had landed on the seat slider track. Everytime I moved off, it slid back & tapped the seat base..:confused:

Pretty plain. Has 2" lift. Soon to have new tyres. Recently acquired a 2nd set of rims, so I can have a set with mud and a set with road tyres....:D:D. Have side steps coming soon. Hoping for bull bar and front recovery points (maybe get a bullbar with rated point on it).

I'm sure the more driving I do....the list will keep growing.:D:angel:

[georgesadlik]

Treads cheers mate, the roof lights are Cibie '35 Airport'. They are a 55w driving beam giving a really good spread. I think that they tuck in nicely on the ARB rack and mixed with the bar lamps which have ARB 55wHIR globes, daylight on a dark night is just a flick of the switch away.

Discofever, that was an awesome trip. All my friends piked at the last moment so I went by myself and spent five days out there. Got all four seasons that weekend. I was swiming in the Murray on the Friday and playing in the snow on Sunday and Monday.

That's a great place to go driving etc.

G'day Mate, that was on the Anzac weekend. It would have to be one of my favourite places to go. I used to go fishing up there 30 years ago with my dad when I was only 5. I caught my first trout up there on the Murray. Every trip there is a new experience and brings back so many good memories.

I'll get some decent pics of my car up soon.
