Thanks! Next step is to put it in a proper dry storage, outside the woods. Once I'll have the money to rent/buy a workshop, I'll move it over there and start the actual work. But I might get started earlier, with individual components such as the rear lights, the instrument cluster...

OK, thanks for the info guys. I finally found the time to go and dig her out. She's still in the woods, but in a dry-ish place at least. Removed the leaves, moss and poop that accumulated for over 10 years. Overall condition is actually relatively good, one will easily notice that this was...

I'd still love a V8 though, but not in a Series! Been looking a Disco 1s, they do occasionally show up with V8s. Won't be driving it that much (at least I think haha), so fuel consumption hopefully won't be too much of an issue. I'll try to see what can be done on the old Peugeot diesel unit...

Sorry, I wasn't really clear, I work and live in the UK, but the car has to be moved within Belgium. I've already found a dry storage unit (won't be able to work on the car there I think, haven't seen the place yet), and my cousin should help me get the car out of there! Concerning this funny...

It's just that I've always been into Land Rovers in general, if I could choose I'd go for a RR Classic or a Defender, but not really the same budget.

I'm surprised by the very warm welcome, thank you gents! I've unfortunately had some potentially bad news. Without asking me, my grandma asked someone to take it away. It's a long story and basically, the car is still there. For now... I live in the UK, and the car is in Belgium. I am trying to...

The car should be fairly complete... I'll have some questions about whether or not some items/specs are original, once I'll get to the car again. Any idea if chassis are easy to find? Already found a bulkhead for £1500... excluding VAT! Also, if it turns out I have to put the original engine...

Hello Ladies and Gents, here's the family's old Series 1. I'd have to ask my granny to know exactly when we got it... It has seen A LOT of abuse. It was used as primary work horse for building a cabin in the woods, and not really lookd after. Car has been sitting for at least the last 20 years...

No problem :D Never heard about it actually... But I'm not impressed with what you're telling me, Belgians are heavy drinkers :p Thanks man, I really appreciate! I've actually just got myself an insurance quote... And DAMN, it's expensive here! I'm at over £3k a year, what the f*ck! Might end...

Oh and thanks for the welcome, only just saw it :D But I'm from the other part of Belgium, the French speaking one :D

Hi there, I'm having a look on the forum as we're speaking, guess I'll quite easily find all the info I need there! Checked some French second hand websites, they've got tons of Disco 1s, but they all seem to have been abused, sadly. I'm in Essex, Bishops Stortford (near Stansted airport)...

Hello everyone, Just moved from Belgium to the UK recently, for profesional reasons. I've ALWAYS wanted a Land Rover, and this is the best excuse I've ever had so far! My grandfather owned a 1953 Series 1, and I literally fell in love with land Rovers at that point. We still have the Series 1...

Hi Ant.7, Belgian guy here looking for a new daily! Your Disco seems pretty nice, and I'm not even sure we need the British MOT when we buy a vehicle from the UK, so that might solve a problem for you. Can you give any details on the boot floor? Any work that should be done on it on a...

Hi waldamar, I think I forgot to give one big precision, I'll be using the car as a daily driver. Saw Ant.7's Disco 1 300Tdi for sale, looks nice!

Hello everybody, my name's Donald, I'm 27 and currently live in the Belgian Ardennes. I've been a LR fan since I was a kid. My grandfather had 1953 Series 1, and as far as I can remember, it's the first car I drove, from the laps of my dad. We still have the Series 1, but it requires a complete...
