Nice truck. Also have a 300 tdi Disco. One of the last real Land Rovers.
Thank you Roy
Nice, well thought out. I did not know that D1's had Defender like suspension. Every day is a school day!
Thank you! Yes they are pretty much the same running gear as a defender just with a bit more comfort inside
This is my disco let me know if you want to see more of it! Cheers 👍
Awesome video, plenty of ideas to ponder!
Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you andres!
Thank god you said correctly, my channel, not the channel, because this is your content, your channel 👍
Haha thank you
Great walk round Dan. I've just inherited my uncles 1996 disco 1, completely stock. So I'm looking for inspiration for what I should do with it. You've given me some great ideas, thanks pal keep the videos coming 🤙
Thanks Mike! One tip I will say is make sure you tackle rust first, then concentrate on shaping to your needs they are very versatile vehicles and easily modified
Awesome video, keep at it. Lovely Rig
Thank you!
That was great! You've obviously put some thought into it and made it your own. I love the little personal touches.
Thank you, yeah I love adding my own personal touch to it, there’s still loads that I haven’t shown. Maybe in a future video
Will look forward to it
Super landrover same colour as mine a 1998.just love the look easy to work on.and look great.great video.
Thanks Patrick, I have to admit Epsom green is my favourite colour on a Land Rover
Great video mate keep up the good work
Thank you
Nice discovery
Thanks Alex
Nice Dan ... more equipped than our 1997 Discovery I ready for the north X O California
Thank you Rob! I have a few more upgrades to do. Would love to tour California in an old disco!
Brilliant, and thank you - give me ideas for when i get my disco later this year!!
Thanks Jim! Good luck 👍
Great video mate enjoyed it nice truck 👌
Thank you jack
Nice and honest vehicle! Thank you!
Thanks
Great truck mate. 👍🏻
Thank you
Love the bottle opener!
Haha thanks
Lovely 300TDI Dan
Thank you very much Stuart
Great rig mate. Wish mine looked that good.
Thank you Taylor! It does need a good wash and polish it’s been a good while
I had one and kept it for a long time. Replaced the roof lining,headlights,side window rubbers,and many many more parts like the springs but of after all the money I spent I just couldn’t stop the oil leaks. Wherever I parked there was spotting on the tarmac. Finally a young lad bought it. Good riddance. I won’t miss it. Never again. I also have a new set of beige carpets should anyone wish them
Haha they do tend to leak a bit of oil, shame you didn’t get on with it. I won’t be without mine
Nice rig mate
Thanks mate
Hello very nice rig to try and stop the oil leak from rocker cover gasket change the oil breather for the AlliSport breather
My discovery 300 tdi was leaking from the oil filler cap and rocker cover and since I have changed the oil breather no leaks so far
Thank you! I’ll check that out and get one ordered
Discovery 1 ❤
Thank you
Congratulations looks really nice!! I was wondering how did you set the child seat. Did you figure it out to have a homemade isofix?? Thanks a lot!! congrats!!
Thank you! Yes I made an isofix bracket that bolts to the floor of the Landy
What a crackin rig! Looks great cobber.
Where did you source those replacement headlamps from? Very tidy indeed.
Cheers for sharing!
Thank you! The headlights are custom made 👍
Good video Dan one thing you might want to consider if hasn’t already been said change expansion bottle to aluminium one I had one split on me and was on m25 and no break down so had to drive it off engine did not fair well sadly.
Thanks Dan! Yeah I do plan on doing that upgrade eventually but not until I’ve sorted some other bits first. Thanks for the tip and sorry to hear yours didn’t do so great
@@TheNorthernExplorer that was my second 300 the one I have now I made sure to change it lol
@@sapp873 nice one! I’ve plenty of mods planned it’s just having the funds to do them
@@TheNorthernExplorer yeah that is always one of the main ones and time I’ve found is an issue lately ha ha
Do you know if those bull bars are legal? I have a similar one on mine but concerned I’m going to have to take it off. Google isn’t giving me any clear answers.
I think they are legal on cars over a certain age. As some came from the factory with them. I have never had any issues with mine so I would say if you have a discovery 1 I wouldn’t worry
very nice car and great video! how hard was it to fit the disco 2 cupholders? because although i havent done greater distances in mine yet since i first have to get rid of a lot of rust, i already know that the stock ones will annoy me pretty soon.
Thank you Sven, the cup holders were really easy to fit just measure twice and drill once. Maybe I could do a video taking them out and showing how they go in
@@TheNorthernExplorer ok that sounds easy enough but a vid wouldn't hurt i guess. probably a great upgrad for other people too. thanks for the reply!
@@svenblessing I’ll see what I can do and if I get some free time
Very nice !!!! Are those seat covers or did you have them reupholstered?
They are a retrim kit from exmoor trim, basically reupholstered. They really transformed the interior. Thanks for watching!
Where’d you get the roof rack from the discovery 2? What’s the rack called?
I’m not sure what it’s called it was originally a d2 half rack but I have modified it a bit
Have you replaced the o ring on the cyclone breather through the side of the head, this could be your oil leak problem?
Hi David, yes I’ve tried everything but replacing the filter, I will try a new gasket and filter and see if that fixes it
@@TheNorthernExplorer If you mean the breather as I was talking about buy genuine as I did in Australia for $140 two years ago. I bought a Britpart and another non genuine prior to that which both leaked internally and externally.
Good luck.
@@davidforbes6250 thank you, I have seen a few genuine and unrated ones which I might try
@@TheNorthernExplorer Oky doky
What have you done to sort any rust?
A lot! Haha I will post another video showing past work. There are also some old pictures on my Instagram
Where did you get the headlights?
Custom made, there will be a video on these out soon
Where can I get an egt gauge an sensor?
Fourby.co.uk do the sensors and mounts etc
Hi, tell me pleas what size tyre is this?
265/75/16
Thanks for content
Lift and tire size ? Thanks
Thank you, Landy has 2 inch lift with 265/75/16’s
Nice! What about a coolant level sensor?
Thanks Nuno! To be honest I’ve never really thought about it, I look after the coolant system, it’s had new radiator, water pump and expansion tank so should be okay, I always watch the temp gauge and never let it get hot. To be fair here in England the engine runs pretty cold anyway and never gets past halfway on the gauge
But you may have a coolant leak, for example on the heat radiator and when you notice it may bee too late. A coolant level sensor gives us peace of mind. :)
@@NunoMartins_01 very true but I do check it regularly. Maybe in the future I’ll look into it
Is the radiator standard or performance?
The radiator is a brand new standard, the 300tdi is quite a cool engine and especially in the uk where we don’t get hot temps. If the engine was highly tuned I’d maybe think about an upgrade but a standard is good enough
how much would you charge to do that to my 99 3.9 ?
What do you want doing?
Bro, is it a confiable engine? I'm a bit ignorant but I love that model
Thank you Franco, the 300tdi is a very reliable engine, very little to go wrong on it and can be repaired very cheap and easily.
I see you said that you stand on the roof rack ,how are the roof guttering handling that . Did you know that where the rook rack brackets connect to the gutters they will break the roof gutter seal and and water will get in and the rest is history. I had a 1991 Nissan safari absolutely mint then I put a roof rack on and fixed it to the gutters. Yeap it cranked the sealant and the entire roof rusted out 😢. I had to sell it , it would cost $4 to 5000 bucks to repair and there was no guarantee that the rust was down in to the door pillars .
The roof is strong enough to take a good bit of weight, I get what you mean but the roof rack holds a roof tent and 2 adults with no problems. I have checked the seals and no cracking so far, the rack has been on a good few years
@@TheNorthernExplorerGood luck
@@gregreed402 I’ll let you know when it cracks 😂
Why on earth are you using standard steering arms still?
Because I’ve never had a problem with the standard arms, I take good care of the vehicle and use greasable track rods which are always sorted. I will be upgrading eventually though for strength and peace of mind with having bigger tyres etc
@@TheNorthernExplorer Definitely worth it. You always run the risk of bending them more easily with bigger tyres and it's not fun when one is pointing in the wrong direction. Your disco looks very nice btw👍
@@philb1378 thanks, yeah it’s definitely something I’ll upgrade just time and money
I didn't see a refrigerator 👀
😂 that’s in the caravan 😉
