Where's this lane in pricethorpe? I'm new to all this and would like to start on something easy, done a couple of easy ones and fords, but on my own which I know is bait of a no no. I'm in rugby, are you local?

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!
 
Sure does Andy, I liked that drop off onto the main road on one of the lanes there. Cracking!
 
Let's get it sorted then! Need some buying advice aswell, disco or defender? Doris doesn't want me ruining the range rover so as soon as I sell me BMW il be buying something to play properly in. I'm good any week end
 
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
