Yep, mine gets me to and from deanery synod, diocesan pastoral meetings, funerals and just recently I had 11 servers (plus albs, thurible and votive lamps) in the back for a cathedral bash!

I'm having to cut back on the waving a little. I'm already grinning like an idiot every time I drive the fabulous thing. And then a return wave just makes me smile even more and by the time I've finished a run I have stretch marks on my face like a nuns knickers !;)

Well following the recent purchase of an old but fabulous 110. I decided to do things right and get a service. So in she went to West 4x4 (Hants) and Mark completed a full service and timing belt change. She drives like a different girl now ! Much smoother and no horrible clunks (due to new...

Yes not too sure what my Bishop will think ?? All mine for 5k and just driven her home. I now have a left leg the size of a house and the whole overtaking thing was novel (Oh how I do miss my disco v8!) Going to pop it into local indi to get it serviced and have the belts done and give it the...

Thank you. Yes security will be my first purchase.

Thanks for the help and replies. It has had the rear cross member done and an MOT till Nov, so one would think/hope !! That any other rotten areas would have been highlighted?? I did have a look underneath and there was some rusting to where the rear chassis legs sit but not a great deal. Time...

Hi there Hope someone maybe able to shed some light on a problem for me. Just of late my Disco (V8 auto 2001 ES) has stared to beep from the dash when moving. I've had an ACE problem before so I know its not that and there are no lights on the dash either. The beep is quite high pitched in...

Thanks very much that is really helpful. Cheers Phill

Hi all Have just got a used ACE pump off fleabay and was looking at putting it in myself. Looking for some help with the following please. 1, How easy is it to put in (anything to avoid?) Not a mechanic but can use a spanner. 2, Do I need any special kind of gasket ? Are these readily...

Hi all Any recommendations for a reasonably priced independent garage near Portsmouth. Got the MOT coming up and have a few issues (rear wiper, 3 amigos, coolant loss (yes it's a V8!!) that will need looking at. Any help gratefully received. Cheers Phill

Yep, Just petrol for me. Did a run in France this year. 7 people (3 adults & 4 Kids) fully loaded 500l top box and managed nearly 300 miles on £90 worth of fuel, which I was quite impressed with. Mind you.... crawling round town is another matter altogether:doh:

Hi all Can anyone tell me if it is possible to place any roof box on top, or are there issues with the length of the roof bars? I know LR do one but looking at cheaper models on flea-bay. Cheers Phill

Bloody hell, theologians as well as LR owners !!! Sorry can't help with the cyber-sins as I have enough to deal with in the parish (and of course the wife and kids!) As for the de-caf, isn't like sex with a condom??? Cheers Phill

Yes. Well actually my title is Priest-in-charge as I don't have the freehold of the parish due to reorganisation before I arrived. Cheers Phill

Today I am now the very proud owner of a V8 es 2001 79K. Yes I know about the fuel prices, and the electrics etc etc BUT I just can't stop smiling or looking out of the window to gaze..... (sad or what?) Been checking out the site for a while and even posted a couple of times with helpful...

Hi thanks for the replies Can I be a cheeky bugger though and come back on the price. After hacking my old motor in it is actually £5399 and whilst I accept there is a difference between diesel and a V8 I can't find much cheaper out there for miles / condition etc. The other thing I forgot to...

Hi all Just been for a test drive in a 2001 V8 es discovery (up for 6K 79,000) Looks like a dream and I followed all the checks listed on the forum and it seems straight and tidy. My problem is that although it comes with a years warranty (electrical and mechanical) when we came to swop sides...
