Now the proud owner of a '94 Discovery 300 tdi ES. Managed to do a straight swap for my Pajero.

One of the first things I would like to do is take off the front valance. Could shorter end caps be bought or do I have to cut them?

You'll have to cut them, a Jigsaw works wonders.

Thanks for the link Gords. I think I like the idea of getting a 200 bumper and saving mine just in case, unless you can get a 300 bumper and end caps without the valance.

I've already started spending money in my head Jake :lol:  :roll:  :lol:

Looks very nice - but I'd suggest ... lose the side steps, lose the valance, lose the tow bar :wink:

The first two will quite likely get ripped off while pay-n-playing, the tow bar makes a very loud noise when it (frequently) hits the ground :lol:

The side steps are definitly coming off! May even sell them but not sure what they're worth.
I would imagine the tow bar would be like pulling a plough  :lol:

Yep, "commonly known as..." :wink:

I used my car off road for quite a while with the towbar fitted. Most of the time it was fine, but it was always catching/banging/digging up/etc :lol:

if your interested i have a set of 4 pirelli scorpion at's with all of 800 miles on the clock. Took them off our disco when we decided to buy a 90 instead. Somehow i suspect you'll be heading for some lifting and mighty muds! :twisted:  cant help but wish we'd hung on to the comfort machine and modified it :oops: congrats on disco ownership

Considering where Big Blue was when the diff broke - I should think the only thing coming out is sandy mud :lol:
