The Disco has not been the best for Off Roading.... a few trips Green Laning, , a couple of Ploughed fields, and a couple of Off Road courses , have shown the D3's weakness's.. not in its ability it does it all with grace and ease.... But the Build Quality/strength... the list as follows

New Rear Callipers... apparently prone to sezzing when used off road/mud
New Rear Discs/Hub/Pads/shoes... mud gets in parking break and sezzies them up
New Alternator and battery... Alternator had loads of grit in.. that went into fault mode and shorted battery out
Height Sensor Connector Mod... Connectors are not up to the Job as standard.... get water and mud in...
Two sets of front swinging arms due to bush wear....dirt and weight of front end encourages wear...
one broken tail gate light.... Opps... dam thing is bonded on....

Over £2000 work of Labour/parts all since May

Just made an offer on a 200tdi Defender... so will be back off roading on a regular basis... but keeping the Posh one for road work...

Youre braver than me! You have to have them as separate cars IMO. A daily off roader doesnt work!
Glad youre still about fella, and look forward to seeing you again! Most of the action goes on the FB page so come on over there.....

There will be a weekend of led laning at the LandyZone 12 gathering. Not exactly Essex I know but a good opportunity to get out and about with lots of helpful experienced folk on hand.

Drizz · Mar 2, 2016

Apologies Zaky31 I didnt get any updates. Get yourself along to our monthly meets and chat to our guys and go from there. TBH we havent been laning for a while but we do organise pay & play days at a private site that you are welcome to come along to!
