Welcome back to the channel guys, and Happy Easter to you all!
In today’s episode I’m going to try to convince you all that a 3 door Discovery 1 is worth saving from the scrap yard!
We’ll start with something simple like getting it up and running with a modern powertrain, who knows where we’ll engine up…

Amazing boys. Different and professional with high standards as the norm in the process. What a wonderful use of a D1 and keeping it alive being such a good donor. Brilliant and excited wondering how this turns out. Keep up the great work boys.
Coniston green with an LED light conversion with frames from Bolt on Bits please.
Would like to see you or/and team show the dos and don'ts in buying a discovery 1 or 2 etc when we decide to look in buying a potential vehicle (where to look on the vehicle for what and tear, rust, damaged signs etc)
I love disco 1’s. I’m on my third now. Would love to see more discovery 1 builds!
I far prefer the look of the original 2 door Discovery , I;ve had both 2 and 4 door classics in the past , my 1972 2 door was my favourite , unfortunately the chassis fell apart or I;d still have it
This makes me really miss my old disco probably one of the rarest versions 2l mpi 3door in Epsom green, I’d love to have another early disco but finding one now that hasn’t been molested by the green laning mob, beaten to death by a farmer or totally rotted out is near impossible
I had a 1996 Discovery 300 that was in Rioja Red which is a beautiful deep metallic colour and they look really nice in that colour. To put the car back to that original condition would be super regardless of whatever colour you choose. I think keep the front end as it is, or it may look a bit Frankenstein and the headlights and front wings would also need to be changed.
I thought at the time that the face lifted Dis1 looked much better than the original, still do. The Camel Trophy vehicles often ran standard LR (Defender) rims and tyres, that would be my choice however I am probably dated.
Other matter: in the shed is a reversible plough, is it a Lemkin or a Ransomes? Does it still get used?
Love to see you guys giving discoveries some love!! Refreshing.
Yes something different , yes longer episodes , yes subscription
I’m a Landrover dealer I’ve got 2 3doors in my own collection one manual one automatic it’s really nice seeing it being saved
I’ve owned 3 D1s, both 200 and 300tdi, and they are the most useful Land Rover you can own.
All mine worked as the school bus, family vehicle, works van, shopping car, holiday expedition vehicle. Sainsburys today, the Serengeti tomorrow!
td5 looks right at home in there! good choice!
Great series on the Disco 1 engine conversion. The Td5 is my favourite LR motor and also their last one. My last Defender was a 2008 Puma TDi but the Td5 sounds better and is torquier? I live in NZ, age 69 and have owned most variants since '83. I had a V8 Disco 1 which I liked alot but a bit thirsty. I would love to know what you think of the non LR Grenadier by Eneos which I think is the vehicle that all Defender enthusiasts wanted to see as the successor to the last Defender.
What is the weight difference between the 300tdi vs. the TD5?
The OG in Discovery the rest are just Chelsea Tractors
Was hoping for the Beemer engine plus 8 spd auto
What is the beautiful intro music?
Great to see a D1! They can be turned into great vehicles.
Wouldn’t it look good if it was painted in keswick green? Together with some nice classic steel wheels and the 200tdi grill and headlights.
Fortune favours the bold! Love the way you acted on instinct, taking chances with whether it would all marry up. Great to see the donor of my engine getting a ground-breaking project to itself – all power to you, Juice!❤
Best series so far!
