Kev I remember you were saying the standard disco diffs are pony. What happens when you break one and you are in some gorge or muddy load of shite???

[Kevin Sharp]

Mr Orange
cool i will have a look

Lee..in a case like that all thats i can say is the lord can get me outa dis mud..but he,s pretty sure your fucked

na if someone breaks a diff or something there are usually enough of us around to recover the motor with winches etc, all the lads i go out with have uprated diffs half shafts and cv joints so theres never realy much brakages

[smitsturbo]

me & a mate are away to look at an old rangerover vogue tonight to get us started, i'll keep you posted

Rangerovers a a great Cheap way to have fun
But i think they dont have a Diff lock only High and Low stick But mine went alot of places in Low range as the diff lock on mine was siezed (the stick end)
Not 100% sure how the rangerover works without it having 4wd diff lock

[Kevin Sharp]

alan..your not going to tow 2 tons of discovery on an unbraked a frame with a xantia are you? ..and you call me mad i,ll look out for you on police camera action

if the range rover doesent have "lock" on the high low lever it will have a viscous centre diff in the transfer box so works fine off road

Dont worry it runs and i will be in it using the brakes
Mined i'll tow any thing if you give me a chance

It maybe behind my m8s Suzuki but then again i may just use my Xantia I have only got to go down the road 1mile ish to the farm my uncle works at so i can change the box in a Barn rather then the road i live on

[Alan s1]

Also i perfer to use the A Frame ove a rope

I was wondering how the ragerover work as they always do well offroad

it was ok but i dont think i could live with an automatic, plus i think it bring the value of the house down with an ugly thing like that parked outside so a discovery it is

LOL fuzzy sod

Auto is fine i got mine in Auto as it was about £1000 cheaper then a Manual @ the time And it was fine untill there was a BIG CLUNK and i lost Revers and had GRINDING TEETH

[smitsturbo]

Yes but the Visous is so fucking noise Just removed mine and its so much quieter

TBH you dont need most of it but it will make things abit easy @ times

[Taz]

Take one long steep slippy muddy hill in Scotland.



Than take a stop at the bottom (notice the green poking up)



Now you can see what is hiding at the bottom



Oh by the way there was a 30ft drop over the edge and a Disco headed its way



One kind of sorry Disco looking a bit worse for wear. Good thing it was someone elses motor!!!!!!



Theres no point pointing at it now you been down it....lol. Notice the marks above his hand three quarters the way up the hill but dont quite make it to the top. He got most of the way up and then went sledging back down.

[Taz]

double post oops

[Alan s1]

Opps and theres me thinking i had a bad wkend last wk putting my new gearbox in and braking the oil pump and having no drive


Or tho the Snorkel is still good and light bar

[lawnsy]

Well after reading this post i have been today and bought a 200tdi discovery......

after looking for the last 2 weeks and many miles looking at disco's with no inner wings and boot floors i found one cheap as chips right next to me as it only has drive when in diff lock......and guess what.... it is solid as a rock just one little hole in the o/s inner wing.....boot floor and rear chassis is solid....

Think it has a knackered half shaft as there is a clunk from the o/s/f wheel...

[Kevin Sharp]

har har ...was a great day today...get the rest of the pics up taz....and thanks for being my winch bitch today awesome job chap

that disco only needs a wing and some action with a hammer/portapower/trolley jack and it will be back in action

That little hole in the o/s inner wing sounds like mine well untill i removed the platic linner and poked around abit And the same with the boot floor But easy repair tbh
