Hello and welcome!

What a refreshing proper introduction much better than the usual "this bits bust help me fix it" on post 1 we've been getting of late, As already mentioned learn to weld or befriend a welder, buy a big box of tools (or find someone who has), some WD40 and swarfega, download the free RAVE workshop manual and keep on this site.

Thats all Ive done and its served me well for about 4/5 years

EDIT: Holy S**t Ive just visited your webpage : Kerry Newell - Wildlife Artist - Home Page and Im absolutely blown away, I dont think I have ever seem such realism in pictures before, some of those dogs WOW I bet you could do some lovely pics of my Landy (bit different from wildlife but normally covered in- I mean bugs, mud, leaves and algae etc not dead dogs/cats/bird etc lol) Discount for Landyzone members nudge nudge wink winkLOL

PS Good luck with your trip through the Amazon Go for it!

To understand the disco you need to know everything. so get it on some waste land with some hills if you can and use your low range and lock. once you get the feel of it and what she can do then you will be well hooked. Still an important part to come to grips with.

I have owned my disco for just about 9 months its a 93 200 tdi, things I have learnt ontop of what you have put are.
if its not smoking its run out of oil
as soon as you find 1 leak and plug it, it will quickly develop 2 leaks.
and if an advert says its rust free it just means they will not be charging you for the rust

Well I'm on my third disco. they are good for green laining have good comfort but and a big but the rust is a problem that most of the time will need new panels not just patching. Mechanicly though there is little to go wrong so long as you service regularly. As for leaks well there not that hard to fix or find.

"as is learning by ones mistakes. I often find myself thinking "Have I bitten off more than I can chew?" when trying something new, but one thing I'm sure of is we must always aim to move out of our comfort zone, to learn by continually challenging ourselves if we wish to improve,"

welcome, best of luck with work and the disco!
will browse more at a more sociable hour!
