Wow absolutely awesome chap, couldn't pick a single fault. Regards the arches I think they will look spot on if the bumpers are black to continue it round, and any others bits of black trim etc goes back on Well done fella

Thanks for some great advice, it's a bit of a minefield it seems with newer landies, iv never had a concern with older models including the likes of the turbo diesel, As long as I kept on top of maintainance I had little problems, but now these models are getting old and rare I'm kind of worried...

Oh cheers mate, how troublesome are the basic models I enjoy basic maintenance and tinkering but don't like being stuck on the hard shoulder because of some silly electronic gizmo!

It's a s model but unfortunately it does have sunroofs which I was hoping to avoid, what'd is ace? Air con? If so it has it

Evening chaps, I'm hopefully going to have a look at one tomorrow, it's a low spec s model like I want so hopefully less to go wrong it's had the air suspension replaced with coils, 130 000 on the clock, 2003 it looks very good so far but was after any tips or things to look for. I keep reading...

Thanks for the reply, I no what you mean mate I nearly brought a 300tdi with a galvanised chassis a while back but lately iv seen a couple of good examples td5 low miles full history and wax oiled etc which is swaying me, also depending on how much I go a may have to have some on finance and...

Evening all I'm currently using a 300tdi disco and I'm looking to upgrade to a newer defender in a month or two, I'd love the space of a 110 but 9 times out of 10 a 90 will be easier and leaves me room on the drive as a 110 would be tight, I'm thinking a county with 7 seats but I'm trying to...

That's what I was thinking but that £300 saving on fuel would cover the tax on a defender which is we're I'm struggling to decide, I can work on both and in my experiance both are reliable if maintained but I'm speaking from experiance ten years ago

Hi I'm looking at getting a old landy mainly for carting wood Round, it will only do about 2 or 3 thousand miles a year As iv got the disco. I'm looking T either a series or a defender for around £2-3000, my biggest concern is running costs so I'm wondering what's cheaper a tax free series on...

Oops sorry must of been replying at the same time

Id love disco light guards please if nobody else wants them

I think the tryre guide is dependent on tyre make as iv got 245/70/16 insa turbo mud which is same pattern as bfgr but mine needed steering lock adjusting

Looks good mate just beware of the lamp melting the plastic as they get very hot.

For the money id say no there a bargain the garage they use is in rowsley and they charge about 8 or 10 quid per tyre but when they did mine they cleaned and skimmed all the alloys aswell

On my old car that had a deep scratch i used a touch up pen then used cutting compound to take excess off and leave flush with original paintwork, worked quite well

Have a drive to paddocks at tansley mate they have most brands in stock and let you offer them upto your landy i just had some dakars off them great price and seem good so far

Thanks i used a cutting compound the stuff you use to blend in paint when you respray an area, works realy well just dont go too far through the lacquar

Ha yes mate if more people do the same maybe there will still be a disco section on the forum in another 10 years with d1's still looking good. Or they will have all been bobtailed off roaded never washed and rotten. Each to there own i suppose. Some people think a landrover should be...

Thanks mate i put 2 coats of maguirs on seems pretty good

Yes mate more than happy with how they drive. Its just a case of i like my missis to have a reliable car that dosnt need sorting out all the time i have enough of that with my own cars. I dont mind routine maintenance and the odd thing
