Hello Landyzoners!
So, after nearly 30 years (yep that's right) of coveting Land Rovers, I finally took the plung and scooped my 1st Landy this week! I've had 'other' 4x4's and they've been the main family truck, so I've never taken it off-road, unless it's to park it!
I'm about as mechanically capable as a ribeye steak. But, I'm determined to have a go and 'try' to do some of the maintenance and 'upgrades' to my new ward. Therefore, I've bought something that appears to run well and if I break it, I won't be too distraught!
My goal is to take the truck and gradually nurse it back to full health (it's not too shabby I think) as well as give it a bit more capability and tools for some adventuring with the support of a decent specialist, I might add (Challenger 4x4 in Tongham is my specialist of choice as I'm near Guildford).
Having spent the last few weeks scowering the web for information on purchasing, typcial issues, knowledge and wisdom; Landyzone kept coming up. So, here I am, Landyzone and Land Rover virgin. I chose a Discovery because it was the least expensive way to get my fix. Of course, I may be wrong about that shortly!
I'm nervous with excitement about getting the truck confirmed as fit and beginning the projects (quite a list I'm forming - must dos, should dos and could dos) as well as enjoying the off-road abilities. And, I'm really looking forward to being part of the Landyzone community.
Right, I'm off to scour the forum for wisdom on rear wiper motors, as I feel this may be within my limited tallents and does not require me touching anything essential
The very best regards to you all,
TheWoodsmane
