Tricks of the trade and secrets to keeping everything running sweet

Maybe an obvious one this but any tips or tricks to keeping the old disco on the road. Please bear in mind that a weekly trip to the Land rover dealership is outside my price range!!!

Best tip is to read the discovery forum on Landyzone

1. Keep on top of the rust.
2. Change the oil and filters.
3. Keep away from britpart.

Park it, leave it..

keep away from britpart? hmm maybe being in dubai will help

You referring to Tufftee?

well being in dubai unless you drive it in the sea rust wont be an issue either

Keep the rust at bay,give em a decent service every now and then, log it when you do . Check em over every week or so for basic runing stuff should keep em on the road have fun .

next month is rust proofing month. However the one thing that does mess with the vehicles is the heat and the UV element of the sun which makes plastics turn brittle and dries gaskets etc. So i am a little worried about presssure washing the underside prior to the rust proofing as it may be the dirt that is keeping things together. !!!!
