    My First Disco

    New update, Other quarter panel out Boot floor out The last owner must have driven though a swamp judging by the amount of mud stuck to the chassis. Also looks like the sedimenter has been bypassed at some point, and I found out what the additional wires are for running over the boot...

    Fupped on the m25

    I'm not sure about the car, but I would be writing a letter of complaint to the AA. Not sure about the damage to your car (Not sure how a ride home can damage it), but certainly his lack of responsibility - particularly when representing the AA, is less than desired. I would have thought they...

    Side exit exhaust?

    I would imagine it would be cheaper to make your own, that's my plan anyway

    Help!

    For that money I would pay and get a proper HPI check, I think its only £20 or so, do all the usual stuff like check copies of MOT certs from mileage verification. Plus all the usual stuff like checking for tin worm, making sure there is no rot, and a good service history always helps Probably...

    Police AVCIS operation on Ebay sales of V5's/Vin plates but no chassis

    I would imagine there are a couple of reasons - New identity, passing off a LR as older than it is for the purposes of not paying road tax, and probably other reasons.

    Off roading legally or illegally, views and experiences in national parks

    The real issue is that too many idiots have been stupid, or irresponsible or disrespectful to lanes and byways - and often the other users and people who live nearby. This has then in turned caused all offroaders (Bikes and 4x4ers) to be all given the stereotype of being the same, when the vast...

    Some pics of my Disco :D

    Random non related question - did you remove your front and rear arch liners? I kinda figure they are a nice gap for rot to set in. Joel

    we buy anycar

    I wouldn't even bother with them, unless you absolutely need to shift it. I used them to get rid of my ford focus when I got a company car, they paid off the finance that was left on it, but it was worth more than that but I needed to get rid. I would imagine you could get more for parts and...

    Peaks .. Air Ambulance charity Bakewell run ...

    Sensible decision Paul, we have to be 100% squeaky clean on this given the size of the group - the bobblers will pick up on anything we miss and use it to create bad press If we are going by the book at least we can avoid any comeback later on, or any pain if we need to change plans before we...

    Sas pink

    I think your looking for desert pink paint, I think there are a few suppliers out there - can't imagine it would be cheap though, and I'm faily sure it was a Matt paint, so could be difficult to keep clean

    Northern Laning Trip... Ideas Please

    Sounds like a good idea, I particularly like the idea of promoting the group as a positive to greenlaning. We are in such a time that local authorities would rather shut lanes to motorised vehicles that being able to show the positives, and that we are actively working to make sure we and...

    I'll put myself down also, provided the rot box is erm, well less rotty. Joel

    My First Disco

    Aye, I have a load of off cuts from work to practice on, plus the advice of a couple of our welders at work. We make commercial catering equipment, so the welds in stainless have to be perfect - taken some tips from those guys. Joel

    My First Disco

    Just dropped 500 notes on new welding gear from weldequip :eek: Going to order the panels from YRM next week, provided I don't get bankrupted by the sharks in our upcoming house purchase. Luckily I have a good supply of Zintec from offcuts at work for the rest of the patches required, I did...
