    Disco Diff Locks

    Hey hey, I bought a discovery! Decided to abandon my pickiness and just bought something cheap that I won't mind throwing around a field. Ended up with a 1995 Disco 300TDi with 153k on the clock. No mods (except for the stupid bubbled DIY privacy glass that only acts to constrict visability!)...

    Mud Tyres

    Hey hey, Me again. (The guy who is still looking for a Disco 1!) Just want to get your guys' opinion on mud tyres - I'd really like to be able to do some off-roadin', but the car will also be my day-to-day car. My Dad assures me that I'll need a good set of tyres if I'm going to do anything...

    Auto vs Manual

    Hey guys - just a quick question... Looking into buying a Disco (prob 300TDi) - On the road I prefer an auto, but I just wondered for off-roading - how does an auto box effect the off-road ability and enjoyability? My understanding is that it is much harder to "rock free" with an auto box...

    Thanks for the info. It may actually be a Disco 1 I'm looking at. Not sure of the codes. Before the TD5 engines/facelift came in.

    Buying tips - Discovery 2

    Hey hey, I registered an account on here a month or so ago when I was looking into buying a Range Rover P38. My financial situation doesn't really allow the £3-4k I was planning on spending anymore, but one user on the Range Rover forum suggested getting a Disco 2. Which is exactly what I plan...

    Buying a P38

    Hey guys, Thanks for all of the quick replies. They do have a bit of a reputation for being unreliable which is why I wanted to get a feel for what you guys were saying before I ran out to buy one. I've taken a punt on some older luxury cars in the past and have generally been very lucky -...

    Buying a P38

    Hi everyone, I've always wanted a Range Rover, and they've finally dropped enough in price that a few of them are in my range so I'm having a look around (and I just moved to a farm so can finally justify having one!). Rather than rushing into buying one blind I'd rather get some advice and...
