    Disco 1 1995- to invest or not?

    What I'm trying to get at in the thread is will the discoverys ever attain immortality (if they are looked after) like our old friend the defender? Surely there's a few people who want to create that rival icon within the discovery? What long term failures will the discovery pick up that...

    Disco 1 1995- to invest or not?

    Yes I agree. I suppose what I'm thinking is why are older defenders invested in long term but not the older discoverys?

    Disco 1 1995- to invest or not?

    Sills are looking a bit ratty, and general bits here and there. Nothing major-yet... Just passed an MOT so can't be that bad.....

    Disco 1 1995- to invest or not?

    Evening all, I've just bought a 1995 m reg disco. So far, so good two weeks in. A great drive with alot of boot space. The point of the thread is that I'm unsure whether to heavily invest in it or not..... I'm not very mechanically minded and should I be pouring money into it as its...

    Disco 1 window sizes the same as disco 2?

    Can anybody verify that this is the case? It's just that rear door window looks so much bigger on the 1 than the 2??? Any other experts know?

    Disco 1 window sizes the same as disco 2?

    Hi all, I've just bought a 300tdi, and want to make her private in the back as I occasionally will be carrying tools in her. They sell pre cut window shade kits on flea bay- disco 1 aren't for sale anymore but disco 2 are. Does anyone know if the windows are all the same? Cheers

    Disco 1 - rear seat belt not long enough for baby seat

    Yes it's a big silver cross baby seat for Poppy our 7 month old. Think that the supermarket idea is a good one, may be we can buy then take it straight back if not right. Good food for thought. Love your name too ;)

    Disco 1 - rear seat belt not long enough for baby seat

    There is not an actual baby seat fitted, it's that the silver cross portable seat, when I try to fit it, the seat belt doesn't wrap around. Has anybody else experienced the fact that its a short seat belt??

    I've studied personality disorders, narcissistic and borderline types, and you fall somewhere between the two. I came here as other members have pointed out to you, not to show off a "funny pic", but for some advice on how to fix it, which I thought was the point of this forum. Instead you...

    You are possibly the most arrogant, deluded idiot I've ever seen posting on the Internet for that last paragraph. Who the hell are you to accuse me of playing the system? I find it utterly reprehensible for a forum member to make such a comment. :ban: Typical bitch trying to be a...
