Seals.
1) Get a good set of D2 door seals from Junkyard
2) Rip out D1 seals.
3) Install D2 seals.
4) Enjoy less wind noise inside the cabin.

 

Swapped out LCD clock for an Analog out of a '95 RRC.

 

Made some brackets to mount my led lights. brackets bolt to existing studs located on the bottom of the bumper were the original fog light brackets bolted to. Turned out pretty well. I will post some pics on my build thread later.

 

Dropped it off at a local shop for the anticipated post buy inspection and service. Fingers crossed it passes with flying colors.

 

Installed new clutch after buying my discovery last summer for $500. Clutch was the only thing keeping me off the road!

 

Over the last two weeks: new airtex fuel pump, new Bosch brake pads, panhard bushings, passenger side complete swivel pin and bottom bearing rebuild. My death wobble above 55 mph is completely gone and she drives so smooth now. I did the panhard bushings first, but the new bushings had no effect on my death wobble. I found the Paddock Spares Youtube videos a great help on the swivel pin rebuild. Messy job but in the end very rewarding.

BTW, the Napa part number for the submersible hose for the fuel pump rebuild is H315.

I need to spend some time on my interior (seats, headliner), especially my front seats. I haven’t seen any seats close to reasonable in the junkyard over the past 4 years, and I was quoted a complete matching reupholster with leather at $800/seat. Yikes.

I’ve seen a few members here and at other boards link to these new leather seat covers on amazon:


but no actual reviews. Anyone?

Looking good! Id love to see a few pics of your disco - are those the skinny ply tires lime the old series rovers?

 

I am about to take the plunge on these. I will report back when I get it all fitted up.

 

$300 for covers to put on rather uncomfortable seats seems crazy. Especially when you can snag a decent pair of seats from a Beamer or Acura or whatever for less and they'd actually be nice to sit on.
