:welcome2: to the loonyzone, Matt!

Got the same myself, only had it about a year, I use it for towing my cattle box. Been completely trouble free, except one of the battery terminals came loose a while back.

Good luck in the MOT. I see it's on a trailer in the picture. Hope it can move under its own power now!

I'm new here too

That Disco looks in really good nick, how does she sound? :mil10:

It's only on a trailer so he can achieve that classic 'broken Landy' look

Welcome!

Thanks everybody she's up and running now and sounds beautiful. Hopefully the last time on that trailer hehe. Can't wait to get it on the road.

Turboman: what mpg are you getting out of yours.

Only really use it with heavy trailers, cant really comment on the vehicle on its own.

Probably about 15-18, maybe a bit more on a flat road cruising steady about 58 mph.
Most of the roads here are slow steep and twisty, even a diesel would struggle to get much over 20-22mpg, at a guess.

The auto-box sorts everything out and keeps the revs more steady than hammering up and down manual box!

I don't really worry about it, I only use it for towing, it did about 2200 miles last year, I think.

They do sound nice, turns heads when we turn up in it.

Hey there. I know this should be in sales and wanted but can't post there at the moment.

Does anybody know where i could get a front bumper for it(any colour will do for now)??. Need one by Wednesday and i cant seem to find any.

Thanks

Rare as hens teeth, according to my mate who is a lr breaker.

I patched mine up for MOT using epoxy putty and fibreglass. It had been repaired before, and I could see where it was letting go again. I think they degrade pretty badly in sunlight, texture of it was more like chalk than plastic!

Yep sounds about right.

Hey there.

Glad to say my landy passed with flying colours with no rust/rot detected. So pleased/proud to keep another one on the roads.

Nice one! Result.

I think you will enjoy that, I like mine, it wasn't a lot of money, and it is quite useful. Good for towing, and the load space is huge. We sometimes use it as a people carrier too, when the girls are all here.
