29th Oct,2012? Remember spotting this one when I was looking,pretty sure it sold? Did look to be a very reasonable example

Thanks Lads,food for thought there. Was gonna hold onto the Simex anyhow for when I eventually ruin the set on the Disco seeing as they're pretty hard to get your hands on these days! Will have to keep my eye open for something a little 'softer' for the 80. I'd imagine they tear the drivetrain...

Haha,If you came to me a few weeks ago,Id be all over that but now you'd have to pry the keys from my cold dead fingers! Better the devil you know and all that? Interestingly I've got a 'spare' set of 35" Simex et's that I wouldn't mind mounting up on another set of rims,will they go on as the...

I understand where you're coming from Chris. Thought you might appreciate some pics Must admit,I was semi hoping for a silver one, but the blue is cool! The glass goes well as do the wheels. Don't usually like dark wheels on dark cars but it looks ok,tbh it wasn't a very good job,did...

Long term strategy,well hard to say really. Think it will be with me for the duration though! For many years Ive been using heavily modded Discoveries as daily hack/work service van/tow barge/challenge truck/laner,obviously this would take its toll on any truck,let alone poor old disco's! I have...

Thanks Karl! Will still be in need of some bits,prioritising funds at the min though! Did you manage to find a CDL switch? Im a little reluctant to use low range for shunting trailers about as the o/s CV is clicking pretty bad,but on the other hand the clutch isnt really up to it in high,bit of...

Bit of an update in order I figured.Inspired by Caron's thread!? Im still in love,wavered a bit with the wiring fault I had though:wtf: So,I'm about 2k miles into ownership,clutch is still holding on in there,although the end is near! I have added a few bits and bobs,some for practability,others...

What a tit! He Deserves more than abusive phone calls

Looks and sounds the part going by the advert. The money it's on at the moment,yes its definately worth a bid. Ideally you need to go and have a look/test drive if you're serious,but then,saying that I didn't!

Sounds about right Michael,I spent many hours reading through old threads and the alternator seems to be the trouble 90% of the time. My truck had a new one on it when I bought itI had it of twice when trying to find my problem and checked by two different auto electricians. Glad you got sorted!

Then you're lost!

Glad I bought when I did! My truck has intergalactic miles,absolutely no history and has obviously been 'used'. There is/was some niggly problems to sort but overall I'm chuffed to bits! As Chris said,look more at the truck rather than the paperwork. Happy hunting!

Welcome! I also used some of that invisible ink! They're a lot friendlier bunch over here:icon-wink:

I know that feeling Micheal,did a fair bit of that myself! Its not bad once you get going! Hope you find the problem within the first piece you look to save stripping it all out as I did

Mine's fixed! :clap::dance::icon-biggrin: Had to do something as I came out this morning,jumped in and it wouldnt start! No power at IGN fuse,shouted/screamed/messed about a bit,flicked ignition on and off and it came to life. Turned out to be a combination of things but I think mainly due to a...

Once again Jon,a very big Thankyou. Will see what happens :pray:

Right,so the bulbs in the clockset are good.The wiring diagram shows a charge relay,anyone know where this is and what it looks like please?

Jon,you're a gentleman,thankyou! I'm not quite so in the dark now. I've had another quick look this morning,swopped around the relays in the drivers footwell and pulled the engine bay fusebox up to get a better look at the damaged wires/connections. I've obviously disturbed something as it is...

Thanks again Jon,I assume the IGN fuse is the third one down,RH row,on the fusebox below the steering wheel? I don't have the cover for this fusebox so have no idea which does what. If this fuse ws blown,the engine wouldn't run?

Thanks Jon,much appreciated! Checked and then replaced all fuses to be sure first thing. I really need to buy a manual with wiring diagrams don't I!:doh: There is no power on the charge fuse without engine running and 14.2v with the engine running,so in theory without the engine running or even...

Also worth mentioning is that the charge fuse in the engine bay now has power on it,if I pull the fuse and test both sides one side has battery voltage,which I assume is the feed and the other side has 6 volts on it. Also on the way to work this morning the radio died and abs light came on for a...

Right,so Ive had another poke around tonight looking for more random earths,checking continuity etc. had both fuse boxes out but cannot see anything amiss.Ive chopped out some non standard wiring which I assume was an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser and a phone kit. I then noticed that the 7.5A...

All of our paint at work comes from a place up at Bugle,south west auto paints or something like that. Can lay my hands on their phone no. If of any use?

Thanks Frank,I've read your thread and although I haven't been inside the tailgate to check,the rear wash wipe works as it should so I'm working on the assumption its ok. We all know what assumption promotes though don't we!? Lol. Will have another go at it after work this evening,was a little...

Hi all, my '95 24v is giving me a headache! I have a number of dash warning lights(battery charge,timing belt,turbo,brake warning,oil level,fuel filter) on all of the time whilst engine is running,I've done a search and had alternator off checked/replaced regulator and checked/cleaned the earths...

^^Haha Love it!^^ we all thought it,someone needed to say it.

What are they worth?:icon-confused:

No they dont

As per title,grey leather rear seats for an 80 in very good order,probably never used. A very small mark on the front of the base of the n/s one. Thought Id offer them here before Ebay. Not really sure what they're worth as I've seen some make good money,and other peanuts so open to offers. Pics...

Looks like that's 6 of us in the hunt!:clap:

As per title,one really needed but will take a pair:shifty:

That is a lot of failure for very little action! Did bits of the cv end up in with the diff,or do you think the recoil when cv let go did the diff?

Chris, did you drag the Evoke out in reverse then? Or are they just crap CV's?

Ah,just the man! There's a few bits Im gonna need,nothing too tearing though. Mostly trim and some lights. Figure I may as well come to you with a more definitive list than you having to run to and fro the post office every other day!

Thanks Chas,I did have that thought. Im trying to get a list of bits together to go to Karl with!

Thanks Jon,I just left it out. On the hunt for a CDL switch now.Are they available new? mental money I assume if they are?
