    Greenlaning nr Guildford?

    I'd be very interested in exploring the lanes around Dorking, if they're in good enough condition and it's dry enough. But agreed, if it's too much for them, there's tons of good ones at the Punchbowl that are worth a trip :-)

    Disco 1 New intercooler, 200tdi?

    Hey guys As part of my repairs/preventative maintenance i've been going around my 200tdi Disco 1 replacing things etc. I just fitted a new radiator, which has solved my cooling problem, the last was full of clay that would not budge! So now i'm thinking I should probably replace my...

    Advice?! Walton motors - Cranleigh

    To follow up from earlier, a real shame as looking at their current portfolio they have some really nice machines, good specs, and some of them sound like they've been well maintained e.g. Galvanised chassis etc. Just nervous to let my 'I should buy another one' instinct get involved!

    Advice?! Walton motors - Cranleigh

    This is an unfortunate eye opener - I nearly bought a Defender 90 300 CSW from them a few months back. They seem to stock some really nice vehicles but unfortunately too many bad reviews so I passed on it. I think they buy from auction and flog at the highest price they can without servicing the...

    200TDI Disco

    There are a few on ebay - just search 'Discovery 200tdi' in the cars category. For example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LANDROVER-DISCOVERY-200-TDI-2-4-1990-/281950696798?hash=item41a592355e:g:9dYAAOSwx-9WzxbI Hopefully that helps

    Tyres, what is the most agressive

    Special Tracks - I keep thinking of doing these as a cheap option that are of course great off road - but I see a lot of them looking cracked, chunks missing, etc, which puts me off. Are they remotely suitable for a green laning vehicle that of course picks up fair road miles going back and...

    Disco 1 200tdi light reflector

    Ebay is definitely your friend... Companies on there have pairs for around £60 new or used I also believe Euro car parts can supply them. A 300 headlight update is a ball ache and a bit difficult If you fancy a change look at RDX 200 alternatives on eBay

    Disco 1 Clutch damper bypass

    Thats very much what I was hoping to hear! I will rip off the piping that is there and try and and rebuild something workable. If not maybe one of the local motor factors, or LR specialist can sort me something. Im assuming a Defender 200tdi standard hose kit would work as that would be for the...

    Disco 1 Clutch damper bypass

    Hey guys, Disco 1 200tdi Lt77 After unexpectendly losing my clutch this evening I have traced the fault to an empty reservoir and a leaking damper. I understand that you can just bypass the damper (the Def 200tdi Lt77 doesnt even have on in the first place) but just wondering if anyone know...

    Disco 1 Steering box - wobble of death?!

    Absolutely - they'll be getting a call first thing tomorrow. Only been on the vehicle for around 200 miles, most of which is road miles

    Disco 1 Steering box - wobble of death?!

    I appreciate that this image isn't that useful for the pan hard, but the trailing arm bushes were done as part of the same job and you can see the side which I believe is black

    Believe they are black... not that theres anything really left in there.

    Disco 1 Steering box - wobble of death?!

    Right - i've had a diagnose. I was thinking most likely steering box, of which I have checked and indeed has some slight play in the UJ. Not much through. The real shock was actually checking the pan hard rod. This is something that has just had new bushings installed as part of quite a large...

    Disco 1 Steering box - wobble of death?!

    Hey guys Just been for a brief country jaunt combined with checking out a few lanes locally that I haven't done yet. I have been aware that my steering has become a little bit vague over the last week - feels fine, but basically I have to move the wheel further than normal in each direction to...

    Paddocks?

    ordered a few bits from Paddocks this morning, they tried to call me soon after and now I can't get through to them at all on any of their numbers! Very weird, first order with them.
