    buying a disco 3

    We got three Disco 3's in 2008 at our place. They are all kicking the arse of 200k miles with minimal fuss, and still one of the best vehicles for work and long distance. As someone already said, if they are serviced correctly I think it makes a massive difference. Mine regularly carries...

    I'm looking for 5 mud tyres to fit standard defender steel rims, I'd prefer new or nearly new if possible.

    HELP...Touch Screen Knackered

    The touch screen in my Disco 3 stopped working a few weeks back and today was the first chance I got to bring her into LR and let them have a look. They tried a hard reset, which had no effect, and they have suggested it needs a new screen/pc. Checked the price on this with the lad at parts, and...

    How do you tweak a defender 200tdi fuel pump

    I havent had a chance to check yet, but is it the same process for a manual gearbox 200tdi Defender.....most of those threads seem to relate to the auto box in discos running a 200tdi?

    130 or 110?

    Is the turning circle much worse than the 110, I was told adjusting the stoppers and some wheel spacers can help the 110!

    130 or 110?

    Been thinking about changing my Disco 3 recently as it has been fairly problematic over the last few months, and work has got heavier. I am having to get the loan of a van to carry 1500kgs as the Disco is at her limit at about half that.......so it set me thinking. The 130hcpu is capable, but...

    Headlamp Problem!

    My fault.......must have picked the wrong tab at the start, it's a Disco 3, warranty up in May last year! :doh:

    Headlamp Problem!

    i'll get it pulled out and see what is involved. LR guys were adamant it was a new unit but if it's a shutter/solenoid it looks like it just needs freeing up. Was hoping there may be someone specialising in that already, given the price of the units I'm sure it has been an issue before...

    Name that roof rack!!!

    No, I looked at that one but its not the same. It dosnt look custom, its really neat and has a bar curving around the top of the back door. I'll try and get a pic as I see the 90 parked around the town from time to time.

    Name that roof rack!!!

    just seen a guy with a super roof rack on a 90! The rack is similar to the LR one with lamps mounted on the front, but it has what can only be described as an integral roll cage. The cage comes down the front posts, the sides and the back onto the rounded profile below the cappings where it...

    Headlamp Problem!

    having a problem with my nearside headlamp, and the local dealer has said its knackered, buy a new one!! the issue is occasionaly the full beam sticks on, and apparently the dip is done via a shutter in the unit, and not a bulb shutting off. The lamp eventually dips with a bump on the road...

    New seats for defender 90

    Has anyone tried the re-trim kits from exmoor, as I am actually thinking of going for the xs kit instead if replacing the seats. £200-odd retrims the front two seats in half leather, and there is a matching kit for the centre. The main reason is the wee girl likes the centre seat, and with...

    New suspension + rubber advice.

    dont know whether this is progress............but the latest pic has the rear suspension in and the fron in progress. The springs must have been knackered because I reckon the lift is closer to 6" than 2".

    New suspension + rubber advice.

    Hey Duncydoo, No that pic was taken a while back, just after I stuck the wheels on. The suspension kit is just being put in at the moment, one corner per night :rolleyes: I have went for the medium terrafirma kit as I dont want it too hard but strong enough to do my towing work, and carry a...
