Yep, it's a stump we stick a plank of wood against It got to the top with no drama, so I was happy







The crude yet effective way to stop the coil from falling out

its nice to see some one get as carried away with modifying a disco as i do, tell me, where is it that you can drive on the beach , ? i have been alover the net trying to find a place and there is nothing listed. btw what size did you stuff under the wheel well ? i put 31s on mine, it dosent seem to rub at all with a 2 inch lift. and btw, the ramp should meet australian standerds so long as it is used in australia.

Hi Mate,

Awsome thread..... great price on the 300 Tdi, I paid 7500 for my 200Tdi. Love it.

Two things I hope help.

1. I find I get 800+ K's per tank on and off road, that includes beach work, I have found I need less and less rev's to get the job done. Though I have a manual. Enjoy that...... the missus will.

2. I had a BLACK expansion tank on mine, original. I had from two seperate sources both Land Rover specialist (one a long time mate of mine) the BLACK tanks have a habit of spliting with age. I now have a white one.

Both guys are the senior mech's were they work, both were amazed the Black tank has lasted as long as it had. Having said that since then I have had to keep an eye on the coolant. Seems to have settled down now though.

Great thread.... very encouraging to those newer to major mechanics.

I doubt I would get my ramp through customs any way

Getting carried away............... Yes well after almost 12 years of playing with various Land Rovers, my wife doesn't really think it is Playing any more

I got 33" tyres under there Bit of cutting with the grinder I have -1" off set rims & 2.5" (although it is sitting up around 3" at the moment) suspension lift.

Where we drive on the beach is near Bundaberg Qld. Only about 20 minutes from home, is a beautiful spot We take it for granted to much A quick Link to a quick Boys weekend trip down there


I haven't got much done of late, had it out for a few runs, looks like I got to get a new front diff housing & strengthen it I put a big dint in my existing one, I am unsure how the dint is missing the crown wheel

Am thinking I may source some new springs to lower it an inch or so Just for ease of use
