Welcome to the wonderful world of LR ownership - luckily you've got Turoa near to keep you onj the path!!!!
Any probs or Q's just gimme a yell & I try & help out as best I can (used to have a reasonably mod'd 200tdi disco - same vintage)

PM sent hahaha

well well well junior, a v8 disco aye....?

nice... ive been out a few times with mat when he owned it.. goes goodly, but with your mud antics, you might want to waterproof the electrics and engine a little...

so whats become of the zuk?

a guy off here traded it so he seems happy with the wee zook and for what he wants to do it suits him....and for what i want to do with the disco it suits me ......yea thats on the list of things to do

2 late i already answered

Just to show a couple of the mods I did - Winch bar was fab'd out of a piece of 5mm steel plate folded to make a cradle & 5mm plate sides welded in place giving a good possie for front tow hooks, the "wire hole" was gas-axed out & fairlead bolted to front - original bumper cut & welded back on to each side of the cradle.


I got rid of the normal winch control & hard wired instead. The battery cut off switch stopped anybody f*cking with it. There was a simple in/out toggle switch on the grill, & inside I used the volume up & down buttons (i'd already replaced the stereo with a CD player so they were redundant anyway.
Rear tow hook - Bolted thru the chassis rail next to the fuel tank - prick of a place to drill

Hey mr O, there will be no stopping you now!! Well done!!
