How many hours do you spend fixing your disco

Hi how many hours do you spend roughly a week fixing modifying your discovery
There is some great examples on here. I've only owned mine about three weeks and think I've put about 25hrs in to it so I dread to think how much time some of you put in

Owned mine for 5 weeks and put maybe 30 hours into it and only spent £40

Yeah it's class how cheap the genuine landrover parts are

Put a few hours into mine but mostly because I can't find the fault

Less time than I spend on this forum at least lol

Nearly every waking hour! If I'm not in work, sleeping or sh*tting then I'm either underneath her or got my head buried under the bonnet!

As above all my spare time is given to trying to keep up with the sucesion of faults and problems.

1 hour this weekend but about 20 hours + if I manage to fit all the new parts stored in my garage along with the needs doing soon list.

Fixing - not a lot. Fiddling - loads. 2-3 hours on a slow week. 40 hours plus in the school holidays!!

I've worked out that a bare minimum average of 5 hours per week throughout my ownership means 2000 hours in total. I'd reckon 4000 is closer!!

I used a hilty 22v battery gun and cracked a few bolts on some other stuff.....what a tool, shame i gota give it back....lol

Time each week? but maybe 4 hours average over the year with servicing , I replaced the brake fluid this year, last year I had to replace the water pump (surprise as the bearing failed) and then engine oil change as I had nothing better to.

My disco usually gets washed every week for around 2 hours, will that count?

It is exactly proportional to the amount of abuse I give mine, no abuse no maintenance, plenty of abuse plenty of maintenance. As a rule of thumb I would say 8 hours of Off Road play equals 4 hours of repair, so a 2:1 ratio. In Road mode I would say 1 hour a month so about 30:0.043 ratio there. Mods on the other hand, well how long is a piece of string?
