Disco 1 Cornwall

Just got a disco mk1 5 door 3.5 v8. Want to take it off road, any advise on mods for it

Good solid towing points fore and aft

Yeah. None (or maybe some better tyres, depending on whats on there).

Where are ya?

and another landy to go with
and some good strong ropes & shackles
and some half decent tyres.

anything else is bling.

Just make sure you empty the Disco before you cross the Tamar. We don't accept coloured beads, glass and baubles as currency in Devon anymore.

How about a night with someone else's sister

Oh no, hang on, princetown...yer not gunna be interested are ya??

:d:d:d

Cool. Got steering guard and heavy duty tow hitch with good recovery points, also have inter turbo tyres. Was thinking more of protection and lift kits. I'm in the Falmouth area.

DO NOT FIT A LIFT KIT!
You don't need it and it will lead to a world of pain and expense.

Diff guards can be useful but can also trap muck and water, leading to premature rust failure of the diff pan.

if your really concerned then a couple of diff guards can be had pretty cheaply but make sure you take them off and clean after use otherwise like trewy says they will trap crap and rust your diff pans.

wouldnt bother with a lift unless you really need it.

why not just find someone to go out with and im sure you will be surprised what a standard disco can do with a decent set of rubber

:welcome:

Just make sure it has some decent all terrain tyres on it (Or mud terrains if you don't plan on doing much normal road driving) and take it along some green lanes, get a feel for both the car, and your capabilities. Once you've got that, you will have more idea of what you want in order to cater for your needs. Otherwise, you risk wasting money on things you may never need.

:welcome2:what ^^^^^^everyone else says^^^^^^

Cheers all. Am going to try and get sill protectors and wheel spacers first.

Do you enjoy replacing wheel bearings?

Tyres are rubbing on full lock. Spacers are cheaper than wheels

go for spacers then a lift kit then 35" tyres,,sorted

dont listen to others there just sore cos there landys fell to bits when they done mods.

who told you that? spacers are around £180 and a new set of wellers/modulars would cost around £120 and put less stress on your bearings.

tbh just try adjusting the lock stops

Dunt listen to em - it's a myth - spacers will have no noticeable bearing on your bearings ( ) and why should they? Go for it. It's just the anti mob at it! They are a bit bling and will make yer motor look a bit meaner but why the hell not!

Oh...if the wheels project beyond the wheel arches it will fail an MOT though.
