Aibast - 1996 Land Rover Discovery1 Tdi 4x4


Recommended Posts

Got to do the front to. Not a lot of pics, as I was outside and started to rain. Didn't want my phone to get water and oil damage.

Changed the old cracked and rusted oilsump to new used one. Also new heavyy duty springs and shocks to with poly pushes. 

And got trough the annual inspection with good results. Everything was OK for the car to be safe and used on the road.

Well, a bit off topic, but one old guy in here, offered me his old Datsun 720 or D21 don't know what it is, but for a real good price with 3.0 diesel engine. Got to go and take a look :)

Managed to get all my cars on one picture. Renault Master is a new addition. Wanted something with more space. It's a 9 seater minibus with 2.8L turbo diesel. Uses less fuel than my 4x4. The Land Rover will be on sale soon. Just need to fix some minor problems. Like leaking exhaust sticky handbrake and leaking front crank seal.

 

Behing the 4x4 is a Peuget Boxer van also 2.8L turbo diesel.

well, my van sprung a coolant leak.

Had to tear it down a bit to check what is wrong.

First removed the bumper. Broke all the bolts that held it in place. They where all rusted up real bad.

Next of with everything else that was stuck on the front part holdin in the radiator and the intercooler.

The van failed on me again, this time the fuel filter heater element leaked air in the fuellines and the pump went empty, so no start. It took me a whole week to find out what caused the airleak. But it had a good side to it. I got to drive my Disco in 30cm of sluchy snow = fun fun and more fun, drifting around.

Went for a little drive in my Disco. First to my summerhouse (100km or 1h drive). What I found was that the old oak tree had loosed a limb and it just missed the house when falling down.

On a good side - all my bees are a live and well. Only 3 more months to go for them to get forraging again.

 

Then went to my small pach of land to get a spruce for "xmas". The road wasn't that bad, a little mud and a lot of water. Didn't risk the water as I have no winch on the Disco. Been stuck in dry times there and didn't want t get stuch when wet and cold. So parked the car on solid ground and hiked from there.

well, my vans muffler broke today. Some A hole had some time welded in a new cat and damn I know I can't weld but damn these where some bad welds. As I had nothing else to support the thing under the car I used one of the cargo straps I had in the van.

exhaust is now fixed.. This is why it failed. Damn there are some not so smart people around large_29768557_qPk6.jpg

The exhaust was velded together by a clamp. That was it nothing else. I cut that off and velded on a new connection and properly clamped that thing together again. Works fine now.
