    crazy vibration from rear passenger wheel?

    If its knocking under breaking, I would assume something is loose. Ive had loose discs, wheel bearings and wheels on various cars I've driven which will all give a similar feel to the car. Wheels tend to fall off though and that is more noticeable. Go back through everything, haynes manuals...

    Another ebay problem

    RST have always been spot on for parts whether I've ordered them via ebay or gone into their shop too. Just give richard a call if there are any problems Im sure he'll sort something. Given the tiny size of the place it seems unlikely for any parcel or item to be lost or mislayed there and they...

    Fitting Rear Benches

    The only bench seats Ive seen are the defender/series type which bolt down to the wheel arch and have brackets holding them to the sides of the tub. I cant think of any way of these fitting well in a disco as there arent any arches to attach them too really, as they need to be securely mounted...

    Hi from essex

    hello! personally i prefer 109s standard, maybe some nice old looking bits added, anything new and shiney doesnt seem to look right on a 109 imo.

    My daughter wants to buy a Landy...

    With any luck it might not be related to landrovers enough to put her off! We can only hope so :p a picture while freefalling would have been cooler than in the plane though? Must admit it sounds fun but i tend to be in overalls under the car than falling towards them!

    What to do!

    I think the full canvas looks awesome, go for it! Finding parts may be tricky and heck it might get a bit cold but its only afternoons work to change the roof over isnt it.

    Bumper sticker competition

    Ha the yanks on that base do a lot of daft stuff, their bases are basically full american towns, drive on the wrong side, everything from clothes to food to cars is imported for them too, so i wouldnt expect much more really lol. Theres a nice place to shoot not far from one of their gates...

    Ahh shame wont be any more landies at the range any time soon then. I only shoot clay pigeon at the moment with colchester garison clay club in fingeringhoe, but still a good way to spend a sunday.

    My daughter wants to buy a Landy...

    Haha how did i know someone would say that before i'd even scrolled down. I haven't been on the forum long, but clearly long enough to expect where the conversation ends up! On another note... Get the tools out and find a project! Im not far if any help is needed. Spent today under a friends...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    I swapped the 6x16 extra tractions on the series 3 to 7.50x16 general super all grips. The wheels are huge in comparison, and the truck looks much cooler.

    My Discovery build....

    Your project is looking more and more awesome! Are you doing anything from the shelf upwards inside? I assume so, it is probably a very daft question!
