I'll try and get some pics later. I'm in the middle of doing loads of tiny little jobs on her at the moment. Covering the sink unit for the boot, sorting a saggy sun visor etc, sorting out my tool kit. On the whole it looks very similar to the safari one. I do have a pre-cleaner type top to...

Well I finished putting it on the disco, it looks great and does the job. All in all, I would rather have this one, and all the trouble that went with it, than spend three times the price on a genuine safari one. I will list all the deviations from the instructions, and problems I had with...

I am massively impressed by this thread. You certainly don't fcuk around do you.

Hi all Just bought myself a cheap tablet. Given that it's one of the unknown cheapo makes it will probably break in about 6 months, or knowing my luck, 6 minutes. Nonetheless, I bought it because I don't like to take my laptop when going camping etc. because it's vulnerable to getting...

The price was 99 quid I think (for the non ABS model). I saw it on the landyparts website for £75 not including VAT, but ordered it from their ebay shop for £99 (inc. VAT) with free 1 day delivery.

Just found this from Pikey on a different thread: I have hit the exact same problem as he did, and I echo his sentiment.

Hi all, Got myself a copy of the safari snorkel from LR parts recently. I'm aware that being a cheap copy it would probably require some fetling to fit, and certainly won't be as hard wearing and sturdy as the more expensive products. Started fitting it today, and the template was quite out...

I've been wondering the same thing myself mate. I want to change my 300tdi steering wheel to an old 200tdi one. Luckily mine doesn't have an airbag so thats one problem solved for me, but something I thought of is that the horn on the 200tdi discos if I'm not mistaken was on the stick...

For a GOOD disco I'd expect to pay anywhere from 1500 to 2500. I paid 2300 for my first which was an XS model, smart as a carrot, and had some factory extras, but found to be quite rusty. Sold a year later for 2400. I paid around 2000 for my current disco. A standard no extras model, and while...

yes.

A bit of an anorak question but what's your preferred steering wheel on a landy? I know the old series landys had the very thin steering wheel which is quite quaint, defender drivers like to swap for a smaller wheel for more room, and the modern discos & RRs etc have big thick chunky wheels...

I remember reading about yours actually Paul D. IIRC with a few old tables from a school. That would have been the ideal plan because I quite wanted to keep the single 2nd row seat to keep it a 3 seater, but with the other half and dogs with me some of the time when I'm using this, it needed to...

A few more pics.

Hi all, This may be quite a longwinded post so if you don't fancy reading all my drivvle, then just scroll on down and I've attached a few pics to explain the design better. I've always liked the idea of a landrover camper, especially the old carawagons. That mix of a go-anywhere vehicle, with...

Apart from the fact that they come in very handy when half the countries roads end up closed due to a foot of water, what are the benefits of having a snorkel? From as far as I can work out: -You can drive through deeper water -The engine can breathe better in dusty/ desert conditions -You feel...

I think Landrover's do this to all of us who are smitten by them. They all pretty much have a quite specific niche in the 4x4 market but they are all so good at both on road and off road, that it leaves you struggling to choose. My first LR was a disco 300tdi, I felt like it was boring to...

It was infact that very picture which inspired this thread. The platform I am building will be a very similar height to the platform in this photo. and having a net in the headlining is a good way of storing things like a thin matress, coats, etc. So far on my sleeping platform build I've...

I think for longer trips where I need more stuff, or if I had my other half with me aswell then I will have to take some on the roof. My disco doesn't have the factory fitted roof bars and and I'm not taken on spending the £350+ on a huge roofrack so that I have to think twice every time I go...

Hi all, I'm turning my disco into a semi-permanant camper. I'm not going all out, but in a nutshell, I'm going to remove the 2nd row seats, build a storage/ sleeping platform, and install a cooker and maybe a water feed system from jerry cans. The idea is that my recovery stuff, tools, and...
