    Arternoon all!

    Well, to cut a long story short, I never did get round to buying either, ended up getting a Fiat (don't ask!) but now I'm back in the market and may be getting a Disco TDi that needs some fettling, so expect some Qs if it turns up. Oh and also moved on from RT, now co run Welcome to Rovergroup...

    Wiper problem

    Don't take my word for it, I'm only going on my experiences of Rovers normal cars, but some parts are shared so it's possible. Hell could be worse, could be an 800 where the ball and socket joints fall apart and leave you with no wipers in the ****ing rain and dark:rolleyes: Heath Robinson...

    Wiper problem

    If it's anything like Rover cars, it's probably the motor gone, intermittent just flaps about the screen where it feels like it, and they refuse to self park when turned off, replacement motors usually worked out cheaper and easier than trying to get the old one apart.

    Front end

    Probably been asked loads, but is it possible to update the front end of an early Disco same as to this? I've read the guide that was posted here, but that was done on a later model, but is it same principal or do you have to start changing wings etc? Thanks

    Green lanes East Dorset and The New Forest HELP !

    Typical of it down here, always seems to have buggerall in Dorset! When I finally sort a car out I'd happily tag along on a jolly, been a while since I "borrowed" my mates Landie for some fun.

    Fosse Way Status?

    Buried in my stash of old magazines (not THAT type before the comments start!!!:p) Autocar took a then new (E reg) Rangie along the complete route of the Fosse starting in Devon and working up to Lincoln, and it's something I've wanted to do ever since. As I've never done anything like that...

    Well I'm still looking for one, but I'm having no joy shifting this coupe :( There's an L reg Disco at a local-ish dealer L reg for £1 wonder if I can talk him into a swap:rolleyes:

    Arternoon all!

    Greetings! Looking into getting a Disco or a Rangie to replace my Rover Coupe, as that's absolutely no use at all for towing! Been a Rover owner for years so it's a logical progression in a way, forum admin over on Welcome to Rovertech.net so look forward to spending time on here too once I...

    Best for towing?

    Greetings from a n00b, been into Rover cars for yonks, but I'm now looking into getting a good towcar for running up and down the country with a car trailer on the back. I've borrowed a mates Rangie several times and it's great bar watching the fuel gauge drop!! I've been looking around, and...
