    Classic Insurance

    I can recommend Evergreen Insurance Services https://evergreeninsuranceservices.co.uk/, although I've not needed to insure a classic, they blew everyone out the water, even my renewal price, no one could get close to. Customer service is second to none. Another one to try might be Classicline...

    MT TYRES 265 70 16 WHAT PRESSURE ON STOCK DISCO

    Pressure stated on the tyre is usually maximum pressure, and is more for fitting purposes. Trust me, don't ever run at that pressure!! For a starter, the tyre isn't designed to run at that pressure. If you don't have a user manual, pressures are usually on a sticker/plate on the drivers door...

    2 inich lift kit

    Welcome to LZ, Worth posting in the relevant area, either Discovery or Defender really. Some people will just slap some lifting blocks or springs, but it'll only lead to issues in the long run. Best to do it properly, extended brake lines, axles breathers, shocks etc. I've not lifted mine yet...

    Help with tyres.

    If you're having trouble finding AT tyres in your size, you could opt for a 205/80R16. When I was looking at Freelanders, one thing i wanted to do was fit all terrain tyres (if not mud terrain), and found some people went for this size. More of a selection of tyre patterns available to you, and...

    Disco 2 New Battery

    Have to admit, the speed with which my battery was shipped and arrived, if their customer service is half as good, they'd have my business on my vehicles.

    Now gone please remove.

    Would be a shame if you end up scrapping it. If it weren't for us expecting another baby in August, I'd have been VERY tempted by this. Could be a great opportunity for someone with a bit of spare time on their hands.

    Disco 2 New Battery

    Awesome. If you order from the link Sierrafery posted, it may arrive early. I was given a one hour window for next day delivery, it arrived twenty minutes early. Really good battery with 120ah, and great delivery too. Not a bad price either.

    Disco 2 New Battery

    Good shout!!! I followed your recommendation, with my D2 having sat for about 5-6 months. Fitted the new battery (drained and topped up oil and other fluids as well) and seems to do the job well. so a +1 on recommendation for this battery.

    Hello all, I'm a newbie with a question

    Welcome. If you're happy getting your Landy shipped to the midlands area, I know a mechanic that's a genius with landy's, especially the Td5. I have a D2 too, and in all honesty, I won't take mine to anyone else. Plus, He's a fellow enthusiast and has a D2 and a Defender 110 and is part of a...

    Hi all best way to fit new winch

    Welcome, Best bet is to post in the Freelander section for something like this, there may be a number of options for you. I did consider switching down to a FL1 from my D2 (changed my mind though), and I found a good site for Freelander mods. Here's a link to the site, and more specifically, a...

    Green lanes staffordshire/ Shropshire

    Some great lanes around your area, especially once you're over into Shropshire. If you can, get someone else to tag along in a second vehicle, you never know what hazards or issues you may come up against, so should never go out alone. Also consider, if you did get stuck, you have no way of...

    Welcome to the mad house!! Be prepared for all the jokes about Hippo's.......er, Freelanders, but to be fair, they're a good vehicle and more capable off the tarmac than many like to give credit. Like all Land Rovers, they'll have their faults/issues, but there's a good crowd here, with a...

    Disco 2 New tyres.... lots of noise....

    Its always the trade I'm afraid. The more aggressive the tread pattern, the louder they get. Compounds can also affect the road noise, it may be the Grabber's have a higher cut resistance compared to the Geolander too. From what I'm told, the new A/T3 is a pretty good tyre.

    Disco 2 New tyres.... lots of noise....

    A lot of it will depend on what the previous patterns were. General Grabbers are made in H/T, A/T and M/T patterns. If your previous tyres were highway terrain, then it's natural fitting an all terrain tyre is going to generate more noise. Also, a new A/T tyre with around 10mm of tread will be...

    Discovery 2 Looking to swap......

    So, just testing the water at the moment, but due to various factors, I'm considering swapping the D2. I've fitted Terrafirma dif guards/tank guard/transmission guard, unbranded steering guard, Spartan 'Warrior' winch, winch bumper. Since I've had it, it had a brand new Garrett turbo, new clutch...
