Hello all,

Bought myself a 300TDi Disco just before Christmas and have been impressed so far, apart from the overheating problems that is (see post in the Disco thread). I've taken it over wet and frozen fields to the cider orchard where I've been working with no slippage, even with the no-treat road tyres that it came with!

Looking forward to picking your brains about tyres, suspension upgrades, etc. And hopefully not radiators, water pumps and head gaskets!

All the best,

Dominic

I'm in north Dorset, near Sturminster Newton. Now if I could just sort out this overheating problem...
