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.
-
Well done, =D> =D> \:D/ piccys please.
-
yes love to see
-
I'll take a few piccy's tomorrow when its light :wink:
-
Stanley Knife is just as good! As long as the Blade is New!!! :lol: 8)

Welcome to Disco ownership.
Cheque books ready, GO!!
:lol:

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:

If this works, heres a few pictures I took this morning in the fog. As you can see its completely standard.

well done

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:
-
Snap!!!!!!!!
-
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:

but if you dont have a tank guard it acts as a reminder that your close to the ground :wink:

Yes, it's good for protection, but you're not that near when it hits :wink:

haha you are when you cut half of it off :shock: to stop it hitting quite so much

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
-
Eventually I'll put a tank guard on, my list is getting longer :lol:
Thanks clips, very interested. What do you want for them?
-
I know of someone selling a southdown tankguard with a detachable tow bar

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

:? the 12 hour road stint home with rattling cooker and window guards dented the enthusiasm! Still loving the 90, cannt help but smile when driving it, (kind of like that chewing gum ad on telle at the moment!!) Just have a weekness for modified discos.

Better get used to it or get a loud stereo, mine gives me wierd lugs when i do a proper day behind the wheel, everything rattles and the transfer whine at motorway speeds is a real character builder! I love it regardless :lol:
