Recently they came back on mine whilst my D2 was on loan to some one , then once my D2 returned home, they never appeared again.

As for your amigo Jose, I know where he went, he works for the courier company that does my inward deliveries, I'll say Holas to him for you next week.

Mine are becoming more frequent. They clear once car is shut down. Methinks it may be time to order a SVS, Mario

Fitted the A pillar trim that was broken clean off while at the smash repairs.

Why am I fixing it?
Because I don't trust the p***s to do it properly, and they reckoned they couldn't source it?
One phone call and I had a genuine part yesterday.
At least TJM appear to have fitted the bull bar properly, although I haven't looked at it closely yet!

I was phoned on Wednesday and told the car was complete and ready to pick up.
Cool!
Yes, a new bull bar was fitted.
Hmm, no new grill.
Hey guys, what's with the missing A pillar trim?
"Was it on when delivered the car to us?"
Yes, and you have photo evidence of it, as do I.
BTW, the bonnet still has a bow on it, all you've done is adjust the alignment.
"Oh"

Someone had grabbed it to either swing into the car or pushed it from the A pillar and snapped it off.
Bits of broken plastic on the fasteners told a story.

Received a phone call yesterday "we've been able to source a genuine grill, A pillar and scuttle panel, bring it on Wednesday and we'll fit everything and sort the bonnet.

I didn't say much when I picked the car up, but one of the blokes I work with is an MMA fighter and Paul reckons I have a look when I'm ****ed off that would drop anyone!

Anyway, the bullbar looks good!

And yes Pedro, this is a useless post without pics

I'll put one up later today, on my way to the coast atm, totally over the cold......

Fitted the brake master cylinder kit: o-rings, fluid reservoir, etc and got some of the new stainless hoses fitted will finish off and bleed it tomorrow.

Picked up a trailer load of gear from Healesville, from a wrecked 1999 D2 V8 that fell off a cliff!
now to comb through spares for my Disco - 8 hours round trip!
lucky I got a great deal on the spares LOL
M@

Pulled soggy carpets out of car at last!

Hi-Ho left me needing a tow today
Started running rough all of a sudden and stopped. Managed to get to within 10k of home but too risky to get across highway (didn't want to get stuck in middle of road) this is what I found

So a good clean out and all put back together started fist go but only running on what sounds like 4 cylinders.
Sooo

Will get new loom in the morning and try again (fingers legs and everything else crossed)

At least it was clean oil looking at the cylinder head.

Yep the previous owner maintained it extremely well he would probably freak if could see where I've taken lately.
