Morph is making his usual protest, just been adjusting the brakes and
noticed the tail pipe has rotted all the way through. I may be able to bodge
a new end on but no doubt it's now on borrowed time.

Who's replaced and with what? What sort of money and is it any good or would
you steer clear in future.

We may well be doing the unofficial in the Disco which mean no froadin for
us :-(

The silencer is in stock - if you have a part number I can get the
tail pipe.

I got the Rimmer large bore SS sports jobbbies. Sounds the business
and has a lifetime warranty - not that I guess that is worth owt in

I fitted a rimmer "lifetime warranty" system to my 110 V8 some years ago and
had 2 centre boxes replaced under their warranty due to internal baffle
failures. The cynic in me thinks the internals are made of considerably
lesser quality materials than the outer skins...... A friend has had 3
replaced now, for the same thing.
One point worthy of note, the flanges (that aren't removeable from the
flared ends of the pipes) are made of mild steel and not covered by the
warranty, so eventually it all comes apart due to them corroding away and
isn't covered! To be honest though, it still works out cheaper than
replacing a mild steel aftermarket exhaust every 2 years, or a genuine parts
one every 4 or 5.
My disco II (2000, 4.0V8) will be due an exhaust soon, the original is
starting to look decidedly dog-eared, but then it's been there for 6 years!
I'm just praying that "Double S" get their corporate finger out and start
making a suitable stainless replacement soon!

A friend of mine also had about five centre boxes replaced (baffles
coming loose) on a Rimmer Bros system fitted to a V8 90 then got fed up and
had me fitting a standard genuine parts full system. The Rimmer pipes
weren't that good either (cheap grade stainless) but didn't give any
trouble.
Until I read your last paragraph I was going to suggest Double S for a
replacement.

Yeah, the double-s stuff seems to be of a higher quality. I'm not replacing
the 110's system with one of theirs however - I'm going to buy the separate
boxes, bends etc from powerflo and tig up my own system as I want twin pipes
front to rear with a balance pipe and a nice soft muted burble that turns
into a rasp as I floor it! (well, what's the point of having a 4.7 if it
can't announce its presence now and again, teehee.) It's the Disco series 2
that I really want double-s to start making a system for, before mine
disintegrates!

Some people have more money than sense, I wouldn't take my 7 day old D3 off
road (even if I could afford one). ;-)

I object to that, I don't have more money than sense (although I wish I did
). The Discovery 3 is fantastically capable off-road, I have enough
experience not to do anything silly that may damage it but I want to put it
through its paces. It was designed for off-road use, why pay for all that
ability if it's just to be used for the school run. Don't we berate those
folk in their 'Chelsea tractors'???

Well, you do need to find the limit of its capabilities, but I just couldn't
run it through all that mud and cr*p at the tender age of 7 days, makes me
want to cry.

Not allowed to comment there, one of my young 'uns lives in Central London
and drives one of those, but at least it's an LR 90.

And although technically the Laguna is Mrs_D's runabout and the Disco
mine... somehow possesion being 9/10th and all that would mean Mrs_D would
be looking for blood if I start to wrap the LPG tanks around owt given she
somehow always elects to take the Disco keys on her way out of the door.
I've no problem rolling in the dirt with the local Gypsie bare knuckle
boxers but know when I'm beat. ;-)

I've still not given up hope on the 101, just got back in from work and
ransacked the garage, loads of 2 inch pipe and stuff , I may , but only
_may_ be able to cobble a extension on to the tail pipe such that it'll do
for the trip. I don't want however to have a silencer bounce in to the front
of our caravan so it all depends how bad it is once I start to explore
further.

Nope, thats the LHD one, Morph is RHD in which case it's

Blimey. Sorry mush but I doubt it would beat a series 1 off-road!
Especially if you turn up in low-profile road tyres (or "all terrains"
as they're sometimes known).

i bought the rimmer std one for mine since i couldlt afford the sports
one (grumbles does sound good!)

my only hassle with it was that it didnt come with any new clamps or
fittings which were a hassle to get hold of. Youd have thought that
for the price of it they could have included them!

I think you would be very surprised, the only thing it would lose on is
breakover and departure angles.

Oh and mine is fitted with Goodyear MTR's

For a super-expensive truck, I wouldn't take it off-road with
disadvantages like that. I've seen the Disco II in road trim get
stuck in stupid places because of the trim around the edges, the
wheelbase and then once it's stuck, the lack of proper recovery
points. Another issue with the D3 is the weight.

Basically you're going to have to be careful where you take it or
it'll get stuck, scratched, dented etc etc.

I agree to a point but the D3 is far superior to the D2 in terms of angles
etc, the air suspension gives 2" of standard lift with another 4" available
if needed (extended and super extended modes), the recovery points are over
engineered and will withstand serious recovery if need be.

At the end of the day it is often down to the driver and his or her
experience that will determine damage and whether or not you get stuck
