Hi Everyone,

Just joined, bought a Landrover Discovery 1 300tdi 2 weeks ago, havn't seen much of it as my OH keeps nicking it to test it out on Salisbury Plains. We're just getting into off-roading and have a few people showing us what to do. Its still standard at the moment, but here's a little video I put together of us testing out the different things it can do!

Hello there and welcome to the forum

Carternm31 · Mar 11, 2009

I've still got a lot to learn, we are having a snorkel fitted next week & a full service, but not sure what other extra's we are going to need.

I'm hoping the 4x4 service guy will point bits out for us.

"fancy being a SLUT or a TOSSER, Nat?" Sorry you'll have to explain

Hi :welcome2: to the asylum

One mod you might want to consider is removing the side-steps before nature does it for you!

Oh, as slow as possible, as fast as necessary; the guy in the Nissan might be interested in that one!
And personally, I would never drive around if one of my dogs was running loose

Consider getting some proper off-road driver training, cos with friends 'showing you the ropes' you don't know the quality of advice you're getting (coming downhill with your wheels steered off centre like that's a GREAT way to roll your motor!!

)

Thanks Dirty Gertie, until we have the funds I can't see us doing any serious mods to the Landy as I still need it for work at the moment (and i'm a short-arse, so need the steps LOL)

. So its just for a bit of fun at the moment and if my OH really gets into it, then I guess we will have to get me a different car and use the Landy for pure off-roading.

Regarding the dogs, they were only off-lead when doing very slow maneuvers, obviously they go back in the car if we are going any faster

(and again, that was the first time we had driven the Landy with the dogs out, so I will train them to stay away from the vehicles when we are taking pics)
