Matts Td5 disco daily workhorse. Modifications & maintenance ahoy!

[Matt-Rallye]

Feel like i should update this somewhat!

Been reliable as sin and covered 10k miles in it now since purchase last autumn. Only major jobs i have had to do is front axle upper & lower balljoints and replace the fuel pressure regulator as it was leaking diesel (been like it since i bought it and my god hasnt it improved the fuel economy now!)

Only jobs left to do now is to replace the intercooler as its bowed and leaking (replacement purchased for £30) and to replace the watts linkage bushes under the back end as its started knocking over rough terrain recently.

Things i have done since this was last updated!

Fitted a snorkel and a much nicer set of alloys i had been after for a while, managed to pick them up cheap with a nearly brand new set of insa turbo dakar mud terrain tyres





Finally took the plunge and fitted my tubular steel winch bumper, mostly because I have also purchased a 5.5t winch to mount in it.





Need to have a slightly smaller plate made so it can be mounted on the bumper neatly rather than cable tied to the grill, also need to retro fit a mk1 discovery washer bottle in the engine bay to get rid of the standard d2 one hanging out below the bumper. Although checking the screenwash level has never been easier

It has been used for some greenlaning and has proved incredibly versatile! I lead a party of fellow local landy enthusiasts around some good local greenlanes one sunday and even encountered some snow!







And recently i have swapped the standard horn that was full of muddy brown water for a hella sharptone, great difference!



And lastly i finally fitted my spotlight bar & CB aerial mount, Have since purchased a 42 inch LED bar to mount instead of the rusty old spotlights.



few more updates to come soon i expect, have booked my trailer test for end of this month and am saving for an Ifor williams so i can then tow the cars to trackdays etc etc
