Wired brushed the frame and got rid of that old flaky por15
spray painted with black rust paint.
I was bored and live in Canada where snow I’ve and salt will destroy the frame if you don’t look after it.
My neighbour says. Never seen anyone do they , His Chevy is falling apart lol
Replaced my fan clutch the new certainly locks up, but on 1st startup the plastic bleeder screw cracked fine mist of AF everywhere. I have a container of spares grabbed off BMW's, replaced the dead one down to 1 left now.
But getting rid to that is another reason to do the inline thermostat mod.
Let the Disco get up to 186 with A/C at idle brought the RPM up to 1880 ish dropped to 179.1 in about 30 seconds that is an improvement, still needs a road test to close this off.
Road tested the Disco back to normal temps 186-194 depending on speed and rpm generally 188.6 ar 70KPH/45 MPH and 2100 rpm 194 floating behind dump trucks at around 1350-1400 55 KPH/ 35 MPH in 4th gear
Pulled the transmission bezel, the **** came up easy, to clean my mode switch. The electrical connections were pretty ugly and I need a new bezel mine has all of one hold down left.
Installed British Atlantic’s trailer wiring kit. Literally plug and play, took 5 minutes, couldn’t be easier. Don’t have anything to tow at the minute, but it’s nice to know that I could.
Hey Rich... my old military "attention to detail" spidey senses noticed the corrosion on those solder joints for the LED shifter lights.
I apologize for being a worry wart. lol
@JUKE179r yea there was more than bit, it took a bit a cleaning to get them look good. But my mode switch seems happy again. Finding a new Bezel is going to be a pain though
Are you able to switch the bolts around, so threaded end is up. If you start banging up those threads on rocks and stuff...you'll have one heck of a time removing.

Easy day, oil change and lube on the 03, check A/C status, added a half pound...good to go. 04 needs new compressor, have one off my 01, doing the swap...but wife beckoned...so swap came to a stall.
Side note...checked A/C system on Defender...vents open as needed...lol.
