Hi all, MrB from Cornwall checking in.....

New to Landies but currently have my eye on a 1995 Disco V8 Auto.

I'm looking for something for a weekend bit of fun.. Greenlaning, a bit of off roading and it also needs to tow a horse box from time to time. I'm hoping it'll come in handy if we have another snowy winter!

The vehicle is standard but I doubt it'll stay that way for long so I'm looking ( I think ) at changing tyres to all terrain and fitting some diff guards to start with :confused:

Any other suggestions and must do first mods? I was considering a 2" lift kit but read a thread on here that they can cause a lot of stress to related parts?

The truck in question is from a garage/specialist/dealer so will come with 3 month warranty. They have offered me a good deal on it and have also offered to fit any accessories I purchase without charging labour :cool:

Any advice, recommendations, help etc much appreciated :)
 
welcome :D dont bother with any mods as it will handle like a bag of ****e especially the lifting it part.Decent set of boots is all you need.

Both of them are OK but pricey.

I got some hefty discount as he wants to move the 3 petrols on. He sold the black one just before I made an offer so I took the silver one.... Nicer and a better drive than the green. Got the silver for pretty much green money and there a re a few things they are going to do to it before I collect it plus a 3 month warranty, which as a landy newb is quite reassuring!!
