Hello and welcome!

What a refreshing proper introduction much better than the usual "this bits bust help me fix it" on post 1 we've been getting of late, As already mentioned learn to weld or befriend a welder, buy a big box of tools (or find someone who has), some WD40 and swarfega, download the free RAVE workshop manual and keep on this site.

Thats all Ive done and its served me well for about 4/5 years:D

EDIT: Holy S**t Ive just visited your webpage : Kerry Newell - Wildlife Artist - Home Page and Im absolutely blown away, I dont think I have ever seem such realism in pictures before, some of those dogs WOW :eek: I bet you could do some lovely pics of my Landy (bit different from wildlife but normally covered in:)- I mean bugs, mud, leaves and algae etc not dead dogs/cats/bird etc lol) Discount for Landyzone members nudge nudge wink wink;):D;):DLOL

PS Good luck with your trip through the Amazon;) Go for it!

Hey there and thankyou for that lovely 'welcome' :D
Okay my cousin's a welder so need to give him a call to arrange some 'training' ;) Have had the offer of tool use too so that's great while I build up a collection of my own :) Have been and bought WD40, overalls, mechanics gloves (the blue type as advised), 2.5 tonne ramps and a crawler board. Now if you could just direct me to the site that sells 'time' as I could do with buying some 72hr days ;)
Any chance you could direct me to the right site for downloading the RAVE manual please as the choice is endless and some sites you have to be a member etc..

Hey thanks for checking out my website!!! That was a lovely surprise ;) Glad you like my work :D Sorry but I don't do Landys unless their covered in hair :rofl: But as for a Landyzone member discount .... a great idea ;)

Yeah the Amazon trip - hopefully one day :) xx

To understand the disco you need to know everything. so get it on some waste land with some hills if you can and use your low range and lock. once you get the feel of it and what she can do then you will be well hooked. Still an important part to come to grips with.

Bless you thanks for that! Yep definitely gonna be making the most of this adventure! ;)

I have owned my disco for just about 9 months its a 93 200 tdi, things I have learnt ontop of what you have put are.
if its not smoking its run out of oil
as soon as you find 1 leak and plug it, it will quickly develop 2 leaks.
and if an advert says its rust free it just means they will not be charging you for the rust :)

LOL Cheers :)

Well I'm on my third disco. they are good for green laining have good comfort but and a big but the rust is a problem that most of the time will need new panels not just patching. Mechanicly though there is little to go wrong so long as you service regularly. As for leaks well there not that hard to fix or find.

Cheers, have taken that on board regarding the 'R' word, looking forward (man that sounds optimistic! lol) to getting a more detailed look under Bertie at the weekend - will have my camera at the ready - hoping for this reaction: :banana: as opposed to this reaction: :doh: lol
