Hello from me as well
As soon as I get the engine back in mine and get the niggles sorted, I'll be looking to do as much laning as possible locally, it's been about 18 months!

Me too
... Doesn't the lane in Knowle sound like one of the 'tight' ones we squeezed ourselves down on the trip a few weeks back Matt?

Sure does Andy, I liked that drop off onto the main road on one of the lanes there. Cracking!

Was that the one where we were fortunate to have your own personal gate holder?
Not quite but close.

Disco for motorway cruising and comfort. Defender for a raw land rover experience and low end torque.

Good stuff. Iv already got the comfort. I can tow it down the motorway then have a full tank to play with then tow it back. Petrol or doozil? Iv been told to get a v8 if I can find one? But are the doozils better with water? I imagine they are?

200/300 tdi defender I would say, depends how much you want to spend, if not much you could get a 2.5 NA or TD and drop a 200tdi in yourself (or run as is), or if you've got a bit more to spend, a 300tdi with R380 gearbox, seem to be regarded as more reliable than TD5.... 90 over 110 as well if its just for off roading...
Hardly any electrics on a diesel, so better offroading, get any of the ignition system too wet on a petrol and you're stuck.....
If you need a hand checking one over, gimme a shout, more than happy to be a second pair of eyes....especially as you're so local (I'm on the new estate behind Lidl)

Cheers mate, I don't recon I'm going to get my car sold this year though not really sports car selling time of year, and carnt do anything till thats gone. yea I was looking at 90s, I like the power and noise of the v8 though, but know the tdi would be better for offroad, which is all it would be doing
you got yours sorted yet? I fancy a day out
