Hi, new to this forum and off roading for that matter! I've always fancied a land rover and have some cash to splash! Just wanted to know views on which has the best off road ability, discovery 1 or range rover classic?
Whichever i get i will be fitting suspension upgrades etc... thanks :D
 
Thanks chaps, i had read somewhere they use the same chassis, just got the impression more people used discoverys. As for a defender, i've only got 1800 quid and figured i'd get more for my money with a disco or range.
 
Aye go for a disco less electrickery on em. watch out for rotten floors, sills and crossmembers though.
 
I prefer the looks of the range rover but dont like electrical crap! would be happy with manual windows etc... theres a few discos for sale near me so may check them out. Also a 1990 range rover with a 300tdi motor for £1750 i might check out. Cant decide :confused:
I work on old vw's for a living so not afraid of a bit of welding. Are the sills,crossmembers and so on easy to get hold of?
 
oh aye cheap as chips if you can weld you'll have no problems sorting it out. A full replacement floor panel is only £45
 
make yer own footwells yer can get an 8' x 4' sheet of 2mm steel for about £40.
 
cant go wrong with either of them motors.Just get yerself a goodun,




........................... or a defender
 
Theres a bloke who comes round work who sells us steel pretty cheap,does sheet and angle. Looks like i'l have to go on a landy hunt at the weekend! :D Thanks for the help folks.
