Thread: What did you do with or to your Disco today

Checked and adjusted my tappets (only 2 required adjustment ) and tightened a couple of exhaust manifold nuts chasing a suspected leak.

Another day of maintainance.
Found the scraping noise in front end (2 actually ) ,
brake mudshield was bent and rubbing on disc and anti squeal shim from brake pad came loose and rubbing on hub.
Hub was also loose .

Spewing, over 4 hrs just to change the drivers side exhaust manifold gaskets,
With most of the gas conversion pipes and hoses in the way and the tin type lock tabs a pain in the butt too... Lots of praying as in " don't snap don't snap" finally got it off
..putting it back together Ive never had bolts try to cross thread as this did. finally got it back together. I've never heard an exhaust leak sound so much like a crook lifter. Glad it wasn't, well apart from my arms rubbed raw and back crook, all good. It's never ran so quiet.

I was so surprised how much the exhaust leak sounded like a lifter also. I didn't have any dramas swapping my manifold or down pipe gaskets though, guess I got lucky.

Mine needs doing too....😕

Took the Disco for her first foray into the sand. With my old Cub. Yep, got bogged too😅😅😅😅

If it's a V8 you can get to the manifold 2 bottom front bolts with a long extension bar from either side of the shockie tower in the wheel well, if that makes sense, or if you don't have gas it's probably very easy.

dont understand how people get bogged on sand. discos are more than capable. ive never had a bog bad enough that i couldnt get myself out of in less than a few minutes.
