So what did you do to your Disco today?

Fish, I bought the back seat covers ($30+ship) from a parted out D1 to use as patch material. Generally speaking, the back seats on these trucks are just fine but the fronts are a mess.
I also bought the severely over-price seat foam replacements.
I am surely overpaying because that is the way it is in NYC (damn landlords!). When done I'll be into the job for a fair percent of what the truck is worth, but it is a one-owner (me), no rust, incredibly well maintained truck (by me) and has been amazingly reliable. And the seats were the most run-down part.
All that said, there is no way in hell to justify the expense other than to say it is the cost of being married.
I will post pics when done.

Drats, I was hoping for a cheap fix.
I live in the greater Chicago area and end up paying through the nose for stuff too.
I may end up just getting some racing seats or used sports car seats if the cost starts getting up there.

- new front ABS sensors installed. Found them on ebay. Fingers crossed. So far so good.
- New front turn signals. The originals were getting tired looking so I replaced with some cheap units sourced on ebay. Britpart brand (notoriously shoddy). Not the best quality but not a critical item either so I'm satisfied. Shiny is better than foggy.

Today...
Removed center console and discovered (pun intended) why these tend to spontaneously catch fire. Previous owner had lost small pieces of paper right behind the seat heater and window panel.
Major cleaning, replaced both boots and replaced the shifter "ribbon".
There is a deterioration of the 2 panels where the PRD321 is that lets light through. I am blocking out the letters, outlining the ovals and re-blacking those 2 panels. Anyone else done that yet?
lastly removed and tried penetrating oil on fan clutch center hoping to free it up and get quieter. and replaced a door seal.
