No we have a 1995 disco--8.5 liters per 100Kilometers, 2 1/2 inch body lift, aluminium racks, Detroit locker, and we do not bounce our brains or our sore backs with its great ride. And it cost us only $4000--. Pictures of it are on AULRO under posts by previous owner.

However we did blow out the plastic plug on to of the thermostat and it overheated. that cost $3000 to be fixed by a Land Rover mechanic--we cold have purchased a second hand motor cheaper but decided to get this one rebuilt.

But if you replace all the Radiator/heater hoses, and put in brass plugs this will not happen. Or put in a low water alarm--we are going to put one in, and they should not give a problem. If you buy a 300TDI do be sure it has less than 320 thousand though-- these have bearings go at around 350,000 KM, but apparently are an easy rebuild if not damaged. Oh, and timing belt needs to be done at around every 50,000, so check if it has been done. V8s are very cheap but are also very thirsty.

We changed our disco bumper. Looks solid enough. The bumper ends had been removed by the previous owner due to the 2 1/2 inch body lift-- we put these back on. One forum member is selling his bumper at $75, so they are not too dear. I am happy enough with the series one disco bumper, and it has a built in step for when we put stuff on the roof rack. However the series 2 bumper is plastic and I am not keen on that--guess one could put a series one bumper on a series 2 disco.

We did not use the new [2nd hand] disco bumper that we bought, as the old one had metal cut away to go with the body lift.

Nice job Banjo.

So isn't there a wheel carrier that will mount to the standard bumper on a D1 like mine?

Trying to push Micayla in that direction as she is so good at drawing & prooving to be EXCELENT on the tattoo machines..
Most tattoo shops now charge a minumin of $60, Good tattooists can get anywhere from $60 to $250 an hour..
Fred just doesnt have the drive to do anything she just sits on the lounge with her phone on the home net or in her room on the poota..
And its a real shame cause she so good , she could of got an apprentaship at our local tattoo shop at the end of last year as they had 2 on offer but she just couldnt be bothered..

Anyway while she will still do us at home we will let her as she is learning all the differant skin types to tattoo & where you have to go deep with a needle & not so i dont mind being the ginipig cause she just keeps getting so much better every time she picks up a machine..

Karen sees one of the guys from the tattoo shop at the gym he is the body piercer but does some tattoos & he cant beleive how good she is..(Karen showed him the pics on her phone). He just couldnt believe it ..she is so good..

Went to the engine shop this arvo to see how things where going with my parts But mainly to see if they could machine my flywheel & he said yeah i can do that so dropped it off there & all the parts & flywheel should be ready monday arvo....He is just waiting to get the new rod bolts so he can do it all..
