Well... for not being used at all for 15 years, the heater is working quite well in both seats and gets very warm.
Stop hating... lol

 

I put the bumper on today, it went on easy enough. It did however require quite a lot of trimming. My grill actually broke while I was cutting on it, so I ended up removing entirely too much. I'm going to find a new grill and take my time with it. But I dig the look and more so the new approach angle. I would definitely recommend this bumper to anyone.

 

 

I got off of work early today and went to a junk yard with the Disco to get more servicible Disco parts.
I got 2 SAI pumps, 3x window switches panel with heated seats, 3x windscreen nozzles, 1 complete fuse/relay assembly from the engine bay, the plastic curled brake line protectors and clamps, and 2 amber side turn signals. All going on eBay to support my future Land Rover parts purchases. 😎

I learned the the hard way that the air filter cover for the '03 & '04 Disco doesn't fit for an '01 Disco. It's a slightly larger diameter connection going to the MAF air flow connector.

 

there is a D2 grill for sale over on DiscoWeb. not mine and it is Kent Green, so may not work for you unless you want to paint it.

 

Is that a britpart bumper?

 

Yes it is, free shipping on eBay!

 

Replaced a badly frozen aux fan, hopefully that is the only reason the fuse was blowing, took my time. Only took an hour.

And that is with half the mounting bolts breaking from rust. if i had smaller hands the top bolt would not of take 15 minutes to put back in.

Hopefully a simple, inexpensive fix, knock on wood.

Doing a front hub tomorrow or Monday. Planning for the worst.

 

Progress on my dual battery setup

Made panels out of 1/4" starboard for the side and rear of the tray. Then ghetto-fabbed an aluminum plate and starboard spacers for the ACR on top.

 

You might want to buy a 4' breaker bar. I had to buy a 1" drive 4' bar to get my nut loose. I actually had to jump on the bar several times to get it to crack. I weigh 190 lbs for reference on how tight it is. I believe the torque value is something like 285 lb ft. Goodluck!
