Thanks, very helpful. That's one less job for the rear then! It will go in mud, but not too often as I don't enjoy that as much as rocky track laning in Wales. So now I need to find out when the upgrade to vented discs happened for the 110. I know Discos got it fairly early (1990 or so?) but...

Have just bought a 1985 90 which had been converted from a V8 to a 300tdi Auto. Solid discs front, drums rear. Years ago I experienced very bad brake fade taking my solid front discs 110 down Cradle Mountain in Tasmania, despite using the brakes as little as I could. Being an Auto I worry that I...

Thankfully the footwells are still good. Top of the bulkhead is a bit rotted. looks to have been filled and painted over. Test drove it in the rain, some drips came in on passenger side just below the screen, but behind plastic trim so not yet sure where. Seller blamed old vent rubbers. Could...

No though the D2s I was considering were galvanised chassis too. They were about £6k but very smart, needing little fettling. This was £8k, which made me cough but does need some fettling. Different keys for each lock, rattly window, dodgy catch, heater fan iffy, and bulkhead could be...

I have a confession now. Rightly or not, I have gone for a very early 90 (1985) on galvanised chassis, with Disco 300 tdi auto .... Time will tell ! I much appreciate the advice and discussions. Mainly on road ( far more comfortable than my 1959 109 200tdi) with some fairly challenging off...

Thanks, very interesting

Thanks, so quite a useful warning light

Thanks

Is this 3 amigo wiring mod to stop the warning lights even if there is say a faulty sensor? Is it likely to get picked up by an insurer trying to wriggle out of a settlement if, say, they felt the ABS was indeed faulty?

Yes, just seen one on eBay, seems sold. Has a 7litre Cummi s diesel, not fully fitted.....!

Leccy faults would annoy me if too often, which is why I was thinking coil springs and delete the aids linked to 3 amigos. Illegal to do so, but perhaps legal if the D2 body was on a D1 chassis. I like the simplicity of the 200 and 300 tdi but not the noise. May fancy a TD5 if change the oily...

Daily driver, but I like laning a very few months, with an annual lo g drive to Wales for good laning. My Googling suggests D2 wider than Series2 but less wide than Defender...but who knows.

I've had 4 RRCs over the years lovely but so rusty!

Sometimes close to bonnet deep unavoidably. Steep rock steps at times too (wales). The 1959 200tdi Series 2 I use now is totally reliable, always, in these conditions... but noisy and uncomfortable especially on long drives. I would like more comforts going forward. Disco 2 body on a Disco 1...

Am going round in circles deciding on a fairly comfortable Landy, cheapish, that will stay reliable when used off road. Defender is so expensive these days. Don't want off road breakdowns in remote locations, so believe suspension woes can be eliminated by changing air bags to coils. But the 3...

Thanks, amazing how much less the P38 rusts. I like the styling g of most things gs Landrover. For me the P38 pips the Disco and I don't need the 7 seats and raised roof either. I would want to join Series 2 friends greenlaning 2 or times a year, a bit too much mud on Salisbury Plain once a...

That's interesting, I'd assumed D2 and P38 shared the same chassis, and of course D2 chassis rust badly. Maybe I should look into P38 then. Have had 4 RRC and they were superb on and off road, but all were utter rot boxes. ARE p38 bodies OK for rust cf Disco2? I know D2 suffer inner fro the wi...

OK am sure it's been asked before! Time for more comfort than my 1959 S2. They are similar money and the P38 style suits me better, I like a lower centre of gravity and don't need 7 seats, and think less rear overhang for off road use. Is the P38 more trouble than a Disco2 to own and maintain...

Thanks J, that helps.
