Ukraine 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Commercial XS Auto Corris GreyDiscovery 4

Been collecting a few bits and finally got round to fitting some over the weekend and today, tree sliders, expedition rack, rear ladder and RAI (once the missing bits arrived).






 I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Where did you get the ladder, looks oem.

Fitted my Terrafirma ladder (copy of oem) yesterday after receiving an exchange, as the first one was all wrong and didn’t mate up at all (unless I used a hammer & anvil).
The replacement wasn’t too bad, but not ideal, so would’ve preferred an oem if it were available.

Terraform stuff is ok, but they do need to up the QC.
Had a struggle with their RAI last time with the bracket for the top pillar not engineered correctly.
At least I could bend, wriggle & file it on the bench vice.

Yep, genuine LR one, will be taking it off again soon to get it stripped and recoated (the paint on the step has started bubbling) but everything else is in really good nick (other than the RAI which I bought from a forum member) which wasn't complete despite being advertised as such (and overcharged for the postage Sad ).

I'm not sure about keeping the Expedition rack as I need to put ladders on the car and it's not possible with this rack (much easier with just cross bars)...

Had a set of Duratracs fitted. The place I took it to advised against them because, “these tyres are meant for use off-road. They’ll make far too much noise on the motorway. “


I had to sign a waver to say I understood

Scotland 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Manual Java BlackDiscovery 3

Had a squeak and hot disc/hub/wheel after my MOT passing rebuild….

NSR wheel off, calliper off, disc off, cleaned and checked shoes (slim but ok) and disc, cleaned up pad clips and sliders, reassembled, readjusted shoes a full 8 clicks (must have missed a click last week…), finished reassembly, short 2 miles there and back listening for squeaks, all clear!

Just over an hour, 0 brews, 0 swears! Time to trim hedges before the birds take nest, this’ll fill the swear jar up no bother Laughing

Ukraine 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Commercial XS Auto Corris GreyDiscovery 4

Well collected the sump guard that I bought off ebay about a month ago (guys were very understanding knowing that I was trying to time it with ferry bookings), fitted that and took the opportunity to clean up and paint the front towing eye a nice bright colour so I can find it in the dark Laughing

And no, I wasn't working under the car using those ramps ! Whistle

Scotland 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

Started it up and let it move forward and back to free up the brakes.

It’s finally realised it’s got a park brake fault… not applied it for 18 months as it was dodgy before thanks to new cables being fitted but not adjusted…

Also got a stability flashing warning so the suspension won’t rise.

Really wish I hadn’t sold my iid tool now.

Just adding them to the short novel that is its restoration list.

Replaced the alternator after the old one started showing signs of being on the way out a week or so ago. Finally got round to replacing the worn out tailgate struts and a blown indicator bulb.
