I remember back in the 90's, knocking on the door of a house in Oxford, just on the northern ring road. There was a S3 SWB safari top being swallowed by a hedge in the garden. The old boy opens the door and I asked if he would consider selling...

I’m sure some sellers have unrealistic expectations of what things are worth.

It’s bizarre isn’t it? I’m not desperate for one but if I could drag it out of that state and put it back on the road without financially crippling me then I’d like to.

Sorry mate, I didn’t make that clear at all did I? The bloke in Middleham. I googled Middleham garages and by chance that garage popped up. Called them and it belongs to the bloke who rents the garage to the business. He said it’s for sale. He’s...

The bloke wants between £8-10k for it. Reckons he’s had loads of offers!

Judging by the other tractors in the hedge, his attitude is not confined to just the Landy.

Outrageous mindset with some of them!

Due to the price of full lenghth ones, I bought two half ones and cut one down to make a full one. Also gives the potion to use only half if needed. .

Have you searched the usual?? Kev

Yes, nothing on FB marketplace and eBay just new shops these days. 🤷‍♂️

Afternoon all. Does anybody know of a D2 TD5 roof rack for sale? Full length if possible. Thanks in advance.

I keep all his plumbing, heating and gas working so we’ve become friends over the years. He’s genuinely looked after me with this one. Landrover specialist came down and serviced it as well as changed a few bits over like the injector loom and...

That's a good question all I can tell you is they're dark coloured I'll endeavour to look & take pictures tomorrow.

Hi, Nr. Royston Herts.

You’re a couple of hours away from me then, no problem. What colour are the seats?

No I haven’t yet managed to get any. Thats a really kind offer, thanks. Where exactly are you?

Hi, have you sorted out any seats yet ? I pretty sure I've got two from my son's old D2 kicking about (free to collect),let me know.

In that case why not just put one seat in the very back? You are aware that 7 seaters had air supension of course as you already had one. But one kid and a dog won't matter on that front, don't suppose. But seats are amazingly heavy! As we...

We’ve got 4 kids and a dog. Eldest is staying in Uk house sitting for us this year. If we put one kid in the back (3rd row) with the dog then more room in middle and no (less) arguments. I’m putting third row seats in before we go. Our last Disco...

We were looking at Portsmouth - Santander but it’s really expensive and a long trip. The kids can’t do more than 7 hours driving in a day. We’ll just end up driving the whole way as usual. We’d fly but to rent a seven seater for 5 weeks is €3k!!

Can quite understand it, but the ferry to Spain is still flipping expensive. Ah now wondering if you mean the ferry to Spain, or just the overnight to Caen. We do the drive from Caen/Ouistreham to our place overnight in one fell swoop. 24 hours...

Otívar is smack bang in the middle of the South Coast in Costa Tropical. Just North of the town of Almuñécar. We try and do three 7 hour days driving. Tempted to take the ferry from Portsmouth this year to save the drive.

OK, so you cross France north East to south west? Well we are far nearer to Perpignan, being 45 mins north of Carcassonne. So nowhere near your route. Sadly. But if you ever vary youur route...;) I will now have to see where Otivar is, never...

Careful as we WILL pop in! 😂 We usually go, Eurotunnel - Poitiers- Burgos- Madrid - Otívar (Home). Poitiers hotel shutdown during COVID so need an alternative route/stopover now.

Last thing you want, is a load of weird Landy types turning up and drawling over the beast 😁

Many thanks! 👍
