All three
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

To be honest mate I would keep the disco because of the money you have already spent on it. ( you won't get that money back if you sell it )
Now we have sorted the springs at the front take the front propshaft off to see if that makes any difference to the transmission. I still think you need a wide angle front propshaft.
We could still do a couple of spanner party's to sort out your frontera.


EDIT by the way I drove the green one today and the clutch is still really light. Once I've done the timing belt and tensioner you can borrow the green one for a couple of days to see how you feel about it before you make the decision on fixing yours.

with the stage your at and the money youve spent id keep the disco and use it as a daily driver/laning and could always get the fronty sorted if you fancied a toy.

My thinking too Stretch....

Keep the disco, get the shorty sorted over time (when its warmer and nice to be outside!)....then re-evaluate when the shorty is all done.

You shouldn't need wide yoke props on a 2" lifted Disco
Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one :-(

Your right you shouldn't need a wide prop BUT after we sorted the lift out the uj on the front prop to the transfer end looks like it's sitting at the wrong angle on flat ground.
