I meant to say, come on 'fess up, who was bidding on it and hoping not to meet the reserve???:hysterically_laughi

PMSL:D it wasn't landys tho, thats the problem! we had in no particular order, a chevy camaro that hadn't run for 4 years and so had basically rusted away to crap.(i let him move it from mansfield to poole with us, but he still didn't fix it)..couldn't even open the bonnet at the end, so...

does the fact it's on a disco 1 make a difference? i started another thread last week, so know how to get the bonnet up........

Hit a fiat, that according to police computer doesn't exist. :eek: that'd be why she ****ed off then without exchanging details:D:rolleyes: wil add pulling dent out of bumper to list for tomorrow, as i'm going to tackle the dreaded bonnet release cable.......

But of course! only in an offroading capacity tho:D Dean went out in his disco, first time laning and playing in his, with the intention and desire if doing damage. apart from losing his CB aerial, having roofrack removed by a tree and losing his boot (in deep peat whilst helping to rescue an...

We have also run to name but a few, VW Phaeton and Eos (both their books said don't do it, but said f**k it and they go ok) Citroen berlingo, Merc Sprinters, Ford Mondeo, Escort and Ranger, Peugeot 306, and can't remeber what else. I'm not saying do it or don't just giving advice on something...

:D:D:D Don't get me wrong, I'm not a quiet retiring type eitther, that idiot just caught me off guard.....not like the dickhead driving a vw caddy the other day who decided to get horny with me for giving way at some giveway lines..... he got a right filthy look, abuse and sign language so much...

i get a few looks, and generally friendly responses, smiles etc. i love doing the school run in a car coated in mud....all the little lads going 'cool!' 'look at that car' etc generally smile if they smile etc, am on waving/nodding terms with a few blokeswith discos that i see regularly...

:welcome2: Disco mad family here. it's a great site.

meant to say, that was of course AFTER wheel balancing, changing and checking all the bearings, disbelieving looks from FIL as i tried to explain it......:rolleyes: i keep finding problems with my disco that as an ex raf mechanic he's never heard of, andd therefore don't exist until we find a...

have you tried steering damper? replaced sally's and that stopped her vibrating.

:hysterically_laughi i just love the brushed on paint work on landys......some numpty half painted dean's green disco matt black with a brush....every time it gets washed more washes off!lol

erm, i'm guessing they mean the grab handle on the dash??? therefore no, there's not one on the drivers side, that'll be where your speedo and steering wheel is............;) i'd defo go sleep if i was you..

hello:)

That's why we've got a disco each. although i do get 'what have you broke?' when i'e driven his, even if it's just to the shops!lol it is so much easier chucking kids in and out of a higher car (we've got 3 kids). so much so i hijacked the first disco Dean bought and got rid of my mondeo! it...

I guess stupid people do stupid things,it's just not what I'm used to. Dean is a transport manager, so is responsible for maintaining the company's fleet of vehicles, and i give him a hand if he's on his own at the unit as I'd sooner delay what I'm doing than him end up squashed under...

i guess starting my driving life with an ancient austin metro i used to regularly have to put back together, i am just used to getting my hands dirty and fixing things, or doing what needs to be done to prevent further problems.... and you have to look after a car so it does keep going whatever...

i'm sure you blokes only get married so you've always got someone to blame for everything that goes wrong!:D

:hysterically_laughi i bloody love the way the threads deviate on here! don't think L4NDY is that good tbh as from the back it just look crap... at least AXA kinda looks like 4X4....

_Sorry. i kinda take servicing and changing oil, filters etc as a given to owning any car, same as putting fuel in it.......:confused: i thought that was what everyone does as a general thing? also plugs, leads, pads etc as and when people don't seriously think you can buy a car and just keep...
