Hi

My Discovery I needs a paint job on the hood and the roof part ( usual story some little rusty places)

Does anyone know any good garage for the job ?

Thanks

I know my disco is ugly. I love it this way but there is one thing I want to change; HEadlights, Original ones are just boring.

I searched for a bullbar to change the look but could not find it in Sharja .

So is it possible to fit disco 2 headlights to a disco 1 ?

Thanks

Thanks for the information.

I have done my main maintenance and they changed all the liquids so I'll try diesel oil on next one.

Car seems to be running fine so I'm planning my first desert trip within a week

lets see what happens

All four same pressure, no problem. Slight difference mention in Owners Manual is because of load variation. And i bet it can have difference of 10 psi.

Usually it mention difference of 2 -3 psi (32 - 35). Which in real life people square it off.

I was using 26-34 and after stucking in the sand for half an hour I had to deflate my tires

and then I inflated them to 30-34 it seems far better than 26-34 setup

Well if its not original one, change to new one. Cost only 100 dhs from satwa or naif market. Plenty of car accessories shops there.

really

I did not know that thanks alot

One more question after a few days my remote for locking doors stopped working , remote battery seems ok( possible a cabling problem)

its not LR original remote so anyone recommend me a place to check and fix the problem

Would agree with nut bolt there, found 12 psi best in the sand with a Disco, but I run 35 around town in the summer and drop to 30 in the winter due to the tyres being harder

whar about front and back , do you use same pressure or lower the front as it says in manual

I think recommended values are front 26 rear 36

Congrats on ur new ride.

Parts you can source from sharjah from gulf star. Cheapest than all and about 50% discounted price than Al Tayer.

If you need to put lot of pressure on braking, that doesnt sound quite right. Its one of the weakest part of disoc and MOST expensive to repair. I am 90% sure its not pad its not rotor. Its the master cylinder or caliper piston is weak. Both are expensive.

You might not find any trustworthy garage, so its better to do check on 3 people and get the job done from one who sounds educated and talk logic. I havent find one trusted garage in 7 years. As first time every garage wants to be good with you to make u regular and after 1st or 2nd visit they rip u off completely.

engine oil, Shell helix is good and valvoline is good. Never heard of diesel oil in disco. Is ur discovery diesel engine?

Thanks for the info its petrol 3.9 V8 but I've heard people mentioning 20-50 diesel oils because of ZDDP levels

About the brakes when you say expense you know approx how much it should cost?

Hi everyone,

I bought a Series I discovery last week and started my journey

It seems to be running ok and fun but there are things need to be checked.

So could you please recommend me a good mechanic I can trust and a garage for parts

Only immediate issue I have is with the breaks I need to put a lot of pressure for car to stop so I will make them checked and probably replace the pads

I'm also planning to check all fluids and replace oils , by the way what type of engine oild do you use , I read all the stuff related to ZDDP diesel oils etc, what do we have in Dubai?

What about tyre pressure ? do you go with factory defaults or increase them as most people recommends ?

I'll be driving my kid to the school so I do not want to stop because of overheating so I'll make them check the cooling system overall (the fan , radiator, coolant etc)

Any other ideas , what should I be checking at first?

Thanks a lot
