Hello everybody, my name's Donald, I'm 27 and currently live in the Belgian Ardennes. I've been a LR fan since I was a kid. My grandfather had 1953 Series 1, and as far as I can remember, it's the first car I drove, from the laps of my dad.
We still have the Series 1, but it requires a complete restauration job... Chassis and bulkhead are completely rotten. Has a Peugeot 404 diesel converion as well.
I was first looking for a Defender (200 or 300 Tdi) but couldn't find a decent one in my price range (£ 5000 max), but that's not gonna stop me from getting my first LR! So I went on to search after a Disco II TD5. Nice car, but all those electronics will, sooner or later, be an issue. So, quite naturally, I decided to look after a Disco 1, 200 or 300 Tdi. Heard those engines were basically bulletproof, and as I'm already a little into cars (big fan of the Mk1 and Mk2 VW Polos, currently own one of each), I think I could be able to solve most minor issues by myself. I'm at least willing to learn and certainly don't mind getting dirty.
So, that's about it on me... Hope I'll meet as many people here as I did on Polo forums!
