    Discovery 300tdi tyres

    Hi all, I haven't been off-roading all that long, it's brilliant when the truck isn't breaking things but that's another story lol, I currently have 265/75/16 tyres on modula wheels on the truck at the moment but I'm wanted a more aggressive mud tyre so was looking at something like 285/75/16...

    Using off roader as a daily

    Yeah I know they're fairly tough and as a mechanic I check for anything mechanically wrong with it, I know it has its niggles but it's pretty solid, has all the diff and front steering guards, another question, will leaving it in diff lock for a whole off roading session cause excessive strain...

    Using off roader as a daily

    This is what I think I'll do, keep the disco stored until I fancy doing some Greenlaning and pay and plays, only thing I worry about is getting back from these places if the truck sustains damage along the way, but I always make sure it's ship shape and ready for an off roading session to give...

    Using off roader as a daily

    Yeah I wouldn't go using the disco as my only vehicle as I know it will break now and then, I just wanted to get some more use out of it, I need to sort the steering out on it at some point before I go doing more road miles as it wanders a lot and there's a fair bit of play in the steering, the...

    Using off roader as a daily

    hi all, I fairly recently got my 300tdi disco as an off reader, it was already setup, and by no means perfect, I've already replaced the turbo cartridge, and done front crank seal and timing belt. I love the truck I must say and love how easy they are to work on. Does anyone use their off-roader...

    New to off-roading, in Essex

    Hi all I've recently bought a disco 300tdi, all set up and off-road ready. I've had a few weekend out at some local byways in Essex and enjoying it so far, dunmow seems to have a few decent parts? Any tips from anyone for what they tend to carry in their truck when they head out to the byways or...
