Just testing if I have found out how to load pictures to the forum.

Disco lifted from home and taken off to have its auto box and torque converter replaced. About a week to have the job done and dusted.

Although they do clothing like the freelander boys would like. @Hippo and @GrumpyGel would kill for landyzone versions of these:D

At those prices, you can stuff it. Can get the same tat down k-Mart for much less.

I don't get notifications from this section so don't hang out in here. I see its still full of normal activity - yet another Disco has broken down big time. Dunno why the feck you guys bother with em. I gave up years ago for a decent vehicle from the Land Rover stable.

Yer would look good in that top when yer in yer Ka. Colour suits yer. I trust the new motor has impressed yer to the extent yer considering selling yer disco to the same chicken farmer who bought the rr?

I did nearly buy a freelander but who would have thought that they sell for more than twenty quid on ebay so I was outbid at the last minute. The discovery is a keeper I think cos I wouldn't know what to replace it with.

Have a look at the introduction section and you'll see no end of hippo drivers asking for advice on their tat. You'd think after all this time someone would've put up a YouTube video on where to plug your curling tonges into :p

The model ones sell fer that. Real ones are much more eggspensive. Yer ka is an ideal replacement fer yer disco. Ka's are top dogging wagons. Eggspecially the rag top.

Eye, now that would be a useful video, I have wires going all round the cabin, would be good to tidy it up.

I do have to question whether Discovery is a great off road 4x4 though. Admittedly they do regularly go off road, but usually, like this one, only by about 2 or 3 feet.

I have indisputable photographic evidence that my Freelander is just as capable off tarmac...

Admittedly it is a bit of a "soft roader" though because that only cost £9 and took 30 minutes to fix.

My discovery has never during my ownership seen the back of a recovery truck but it has seen quite a few green lanes and river crossings.
