Thanks all. Fluids/filters are a given. The thing I like about the TWS kit is that it highlights some of the well-known weak links in the D2 - wipers, drive shafts, etc. Obviously if these things are good on your truck, don't replace them. But I guess I was trying to query the hivemind for...

I am going to pick up a "new to me" Disco 1, and while it's been seemingly well-cared-for, there's always something. TWS has a "new to you" kit for the Disco 2, which looks pretty cool but some parts of it are irrelevant to the Disco 1. Curious - if you were building a "new to you" kit for a...

This is a very cool project, and tracks with the recent trend in Defenders. Last summer Rovers magazine did a feature story on engine-swapping Defenders with an Ecoboost - it might be worth reaching out to them or the company building the kit to see if there's any plans to do this to D1s...

That's pretty cool! It will definitely get sent to the crusher, though, that paperwork is missing for a reason lol.

Good point, the few converted 300tdi trucks I've seen here aren't cheap. Luckily, Spain and Italy are left-hand drive, dry-climate countries, so in this hypothetical scenario, I'd probably just import from there. I was under the impression that TD5 got closer to Rover V8 levels of power...

Thanks. I have a 200tdi Defender, and really love it. There's just something about the manual transmission+diesel combo that makes it really fun to take offroad. I'd love to recreate that experience in a Discovery (though I say that without owning one). Since I live ~2h on highway from most...

I know diesel Discoveries aren't super common around here, but I'm curious if anyone has/has seen a TD5 Disco.. In the rest-of-world Defender market we're starting to see them (and people seem generally pretty happy with them), so I wonder if any similarly-equipped Discos have washed up on...

Hi @dfilsinger, did you ever get the photos taken? I'm in Boston, so not too far away.
