 :D it's not the best but am happy it's 200tdi k Reg alrady got 2 inch lift on new bearmark( I think that's it) shocks an springs  like sum big bullbar with spotlights on it and the old bumper removed . Steel wheels with affroad tyres,diff guard and full set of poly Bushes came with it got the lot for £750.

Needs things doing tho no interior lights work the central lockin plays up a bit . The buttons drop like a milameter then the doors don't open. Needs cd player . The front spot lights on the bar need wiring in. Bonnet won't close and stay closed sumtimes 

But the thing that is bothering me is the lean it has to the offside I know they do have a lean but myn seems way to much .
Any help would be great

Don't all comment at once haha

disco2 td5:
nice one sounds a good buy the off road stuff on it is a nice bonus too

Disco Matt:
You might want to sort that bonnet latch first - if it manages to unlock itself while driving it won't be fun. It's usually a case of the locking mechanism needing a squirt of 3-in-1 or similar, just spray some in and work the release handle until it springs back freely.

Check your springs for the lean, I had a similar problem with a set of Britpart HD rears one of which sagged within six months of fitting causing distressing handling and a lean. Now have OEM HD springs on the back and will be reverting to standard on the front if the Britpart give any trouble.

Chris Putt:
All discos seem to have a bit of a lean, but on this forum there seem to be a few people who have had problems with britpart springs (they are cheap for a reason....) I would just bin the bonnet latch and put a set of bonnet pins on, my latch was a pain in the arse when i stioll had my disco....
