Yay great news, I opened the ECU and measured each of the capacitors that I could find and one was leaking despite not being swollen or bulging.......$0.80 later from Jaycar it fired right up. Super happy to hand this back to a friend on a farm at Mapiu for his wife to use a farm truck. Thanks for ...

Yer auto, i wiggled the lever just in case there is a bad connection.

Hey thanks for that info...............I forgot to add that I even changed the ignition switch over from a running Zuk haha oh man this thing is driving me nuts. Time for a carb..................................

Gents, I’m at the end of my knowledge and Google results.........G16A 16v. I’m trying to help a farmer fiend get his Zuni running after he turned it off one day and the next time it just cranked and does not fire up. Currently there is a fat spark as one starts the crank, then zero during the crank a ...

Well gents, I flicked my 98 TDi 300 and have an 03 Disco 2 now so dont have any use for the spare Disco 1 face lift i bought 18 months for possible spares. I am keeping the trusted running gear and lightweight chassis chassis for my bobtail mud truck if and when I meet its match maker in the bush ...

Cheers thanks, will take a look soon!

Hi, this may have been hammered over time but are fitting HIP kits to one's truck ok for WOF as long as the defraction angle to the left on low beam is pronounced enough? Or would any HID change over fail other than factory fitted ones?

They priced up $260 excl per shock and can get plus 5.5' for $280 a pair including freight from the UK. So will be here end of next week.

Awesome thanks.

Long shot but would any one have a rear pair of shocks to suit my Disco 1 Bobtail. Measured from centre of eye to bottom of body where the lower bolt starts is 670mm extended and 410mm compressed. So after an eye top and pin bottom and the truck is a full off road mud truck and not for road uses so ...

I just bought some off Alixpress, $79 for 30m. As soon as there is a 4x4 label attached to it the p[rice triples. Yes they are also used in the marine industry and are priced differently.

Bloody Hell...200 amp. That would be like a second hand brake on the 3.9....................haha.

I've got a Disco with RUNVA 9500-Q winch (upgraded cables) running off 2 x 650CCA batteries and standard 120A alternator. Battery earth cables run to a common point with the winch earth so not relying on the chassis for earth. Entered in Clubman Class and done all 4 rounds so far in the Mainland ...

Yer, the starter is next on the list of things to disconnect. I have done the alternator and nothing changed. I also unplugged my LED light bar relay, reverse LED switch, radio and still the same draw/ voltage loss. I will pop the power cable off the starter tonight as I don't use the old banger on ...

Yer, I have a trickle charger for my bike which I could use but really want to find the reason. One small solar charger from Super cheap makes the battery last about 5/6 days then it will not start. With the solar panel is gets 4/5 days and sits on 11.6 volt approx. I'm measuring the voltage every ...

Hi guys, ok so sorted one Disco out with new winch cables and second battery so now for my TD300. I have had battery drain for about a year now and can't find it. I disconnected the pos and bridged the amp meter across the terminals and get 0.21 amps draw. I have removed one fuse at a time and haven ...

Well I have all the winch cables remade and will be doing the factory earch as well as a new chassis to engine to complete the "tidy up" Was really well priced from The Cable Shop in Hamilton. Trevor the owner did a hell deal and the speed of service was crazy. Less than 24 hours! All crimped ...

Ok, thanks guys. Holy crap, 2 770 batteries and super fat cables. I did think the standard cable looked like shit but thought so many others use the same and seemed to get away with it................. I actually just yesterday thought I would remove the cables and get them redone in bigger gauge at ...

yer, great trip and I'm going again this year. Gonna be snowy with the weather forecast looking to be real mean. Get the cameras, blankets and food ready!!!

Yer, that's definitely one of the worse plonkers all in one trip..............clueless.

Ah ok, thanks. This does all make sense. The battery is 10 months old but doesn't mean any thing I know. I have the exact same battery in my road TD300 so will swap these over for next weekends run and see. I was also at The Cable Shop in Hammy today and they have real good prices for various wire ...

They are great value for money and very capable vehicles. Not the best economy on the open road but then when one buys a V8 one is not theoretically thinking of economy. The Lexus conversion in the Disco have tons more power and also run approx. 8lt/ 100km less than the normal 16-18lt/ 100km ...

Excellent, done and dusted. Thanks so much!

Is any one running one battery with their V8 Disco? If so what size? I have a 10 month old 730amp Century battery in my truck which I fitted when installing my new Ridgeryder winch but hardly ever use it and last weekend a 12m winch up a hill drained the battery to the point the truck spluttered due ...

Hi, my rusty eye balls cant find the tab/ location where I can change my password? Can you point me in the right direction please? Thanks!

Yer, its great fun. Every thing from rough shiney tracks to super extreme slippery hill climbs and long and deep bog holes. Only thing is the damn black berry, rips you undies off every you get out...............no matter much "weed control" we do during the year. We are getting a digger in there ...

Quick vid knocked together last night of our club run 2 weekends ago. The Rodney club was there as well doing their own thing with some really nice trucks. Never seen our park so full which was great and we didn't cross paths once due to us having so many tracks available. The Ngaroma road was also ...

Well done guys, love the new look. Very refreshing and easy to navigate.

Yr, good point. It was the easier way out for me at the time fitting it as I didn't want to go buy a tap for a one off hole so just took the plate in. As I have just moved house and so its a bit full on at the moment but will revisit the mounting of it again and maybe drive it to some to do on site ...
