    car transporter trailer recomendations?

    Ifor Williams every time, they use leaf spring suspension, much cheaper if you hit a pot hole and break one to replace. Other tend to use indespension units which cost a lot more to replace. I have towed a if or Williams horse trailer thousands of miles with no issues whatsoever. They have a...

    Water in my line of sight!

    I have been enjoying driving by disco I around for the past 5 months, especially splashing through the puddles in South Devon today! But I keep wondering why it's not possible to stop water from puddles landing on the windscreen? I am sure it's to do with tyre width, ride height and the wheel...

    The Devonshire Disco!

    Yes the first pick looked a little deep! Where in Devon is that? It looks like Teign Grace? I live in Newton Abbot. Interestingly our numbers plates are only a few numbers apart. Mine is R150 CCX!

    a little guidance on price please

    I am relatively new here but my initial thought is no. Too much. Maybe half that?

    Help a numpty find a defender...please!

    I have a discovery 1 300 tdi 3 door, I can get 11 bales of shavings (wife has horses, and has a horse lorry so I have the discovery for the same reasons as you) in the back and use it for getting about in the mud and water in the lanes and doing equine type jobs other than towing a horse...

    Parts Suppliers

    I've always got my LR parts from Brookwell supplies in Bovey Tracey in South Devon. They seem to have everything in stock and their knowledge is fantastic. Their website for spares is very good too. http://www.brookwell.co.uk I hope you find what you are looking for.

    Going on a trip which one!

    I've just bought a set of roof bars, they seem very sturdy and their 'delta' shape should keep them quiet on the roof. I am fitting them tomorrow so I will let you know the results! http://www.rhinoroofracks.com/discovery-1-and-2 These were the best value bars I could find, without...

    300 v td5

    I've gone for a D1 300tdi, driven 3000 miles since November and not had a single problem (famous last words) I drive it everywhere, motorways, A roads and lanes - no problem! My vote is buy a £1500 mint D1 300tdi and spend the remaining £1000 on mods or save it for another day!

    Discovery 1 wading depth

    Did not go alone, my Dad came with with his 90, so it was all good. The ford was way to big to go through and the local farmer had banked up the side of the ford with gravel to prevent flooding, so it was a no go on two accounts! thanks for the replies.................

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    I've replaced the rear shocks (managed to sheer off the top bolt so had to buy a new bracket as well!), whilst the wheels were off, the rear disk pads were replaced and after closer inspection so were the front disk pads. It was good to start getting to know my new Land Rover, I enjoyed...

    Why did you buy a disco!!

    Just bought my first discovery 1 300 tdi. Had a subaru legacy, a couple of fourtraks, a freelander, series 3 swb diesel and a shogun in the past for towing my wife's horses around. She has lorry now, but we missed the 4x4. I bought the discovery because my Dad's not ready to sell me his 90...

    Discovery 1 wading depth

    Dear all, Having just checked out a couple of local green lanes (more like un-metalled) roads really, so I can take some of the family out on Boxing Day (new experiences and all that) as I was driving through a ford, I wondered what the official un modified discovery max wading depth was? The...
