Thread: Considering wrecking Disco 1 - How would you go about it?

So my wrecking is underway, my query is it easier to remove transmission first then engine or vice versa? Not much fun out in the heat though.

It's dead easy, remove the drive shafts, the exhaust and at least one of the engine mounting brackets off the transfer case. Cut the bonnet latch panel out (making it like the original RRCs where they unbolt) and the whole lot comes out quite easily.
