- It's been a hot minute since the last video on my 1998 Land Rover Discovery 1 300Tdi - but it's alive and running well! It took me a good six months to sort all of it's issues and get it running well. This is what needed to be done.

The Disco takes its air from 3 slots on the lhs between the wing and door. Was designed that way to reduce dust intake. There should be a small plastic elbow pointing backwards between the inner and outer wing that feeds the airbox. Spend the money on sound deadening mats. They will also keep it a little cooler.
I love these old Discos and actually teach 4x4 in one here in the UK.
For reasonable offroading they are almost a cheat code. I spent quite some time recently driving/teaching in new Hilux, Ranger and Isuzu pickups. While they are good, once the track gets a bit more iffy they are harder work than the Disco floating along. Definitely can feel the pain from hard anti-roll (sway) bars in the modern stuff. Rough track feels like being punched in the shoulder all the time 😂
Older 4w4 are just more fun!
They're definitely cool rigs. Reliabilty comes from what kind of life theyve had. You jist need to tune into what goes wrong. Same as with any brand really :)
Enjoy!
Very good point! Guess the same with any old car eh
Nice mate 👍
Thinking of getting a V8 one for a project here. Have Fortuner too. The Series 1 fit big tyres and go well offroad. Mate has had his around 1000 dollar track a couple of times, goes well twin locked, heaps wheel travel.
They’re great fun! They’re all defo projects these days, worth it though. Twin locked would make them unstoppable - I’m amazed how well even a basic setup flexes. I struggle to recommend anyone buy one - but I do love mine
They probably are the most affordable good 4wd in NZ atm, Good articulation and a shortish wheelbase
Have to agree there! Never realised how cheap there were/stayed till I started looking around last year. Only spot I’ve found it doesn’t like is soft sand - doesn’t have quite enough grunt
@@OverlandNZTV That jump in tyre size wont be helping you in that respect. Those motors are pretty bullet proof and a dyno tune might be a good idea
Defo doesn’t - noticed it when I fitted them, fully expected it. Being an EDC engine there’s not a heap you can do with the ECU to get anymore power, be better to chuck a manual pump on… but then $$$
@@OverlandNZTV Was piggy back plugins for them iirc back in the day, the auto's already had more hp from the factory than the manuals
Manual pump won't be too horrific to find and slap on. I had a 200tdi and it was mint with a wee bit more fuel and removed centre muffler.
Was a manual so you just had to be a bit onto it in sand and deep mud where you might need some instant power. High power Commonrail diesels have spoilt us ha
I like your stuff man, its good to see this stuff in NZ, but you need to slow down your speech when presenting so it's easier to understand.
Got the Land Rover bug.😂 . Got disco 4 myself
Sure have 😅 oh nice! I keep (semi) seriously looking at them - amazing cars. How do you rate it?
@@OverlandNZTV love it. Few things planned. Done couple of trips with wellington cvcc and surprised me. Can’t wait too he’d over devils gate, if it opens again
Looks great we'll done!
What camping spot is that?
Cheers! Out at Stonewall - next video will be the trip I was actually doing when I shot this 👍
Looks good. Are getting a winch? Or maxtrax are enough?
Cheers! Maxtrax are generally enough for the stuff I do - but yeah, going to do a winch at some stage
I’m kinda of the opinion that once something has high mileage like 250k plus - then it’s probably ok. It hasn’t blown up before then, then it’s probably not going to.
I’m almost with you there - in terms of core engine. You do have turbos, injectors, diesel pumps and in this case, dodgy British electrics to compete with as they get older though 😅
Hi mate is the battery tied down?
It wasn’t on this trip - was wedged in. Not ideal, I know, but was a temporary thing. Need to figure out a better plan for it
Niceeee! No engine upgrades?
Cheers! Na not at this stage - goes well enough for what it is, just going to leave it alone for now
