I reckon it was the DVLA crushing it for not having tax and a number plate on it, rather than being rolled ;)

And what self respecting tea leaf would have nicked that? Surely they would have abandoned any plans to steal it once they got inside. They would be the laughing stock amongst the criminal fraternity - hey guys, look what I nicked last night followed by lots of...

Anybody been fooled into believing it's a late model Defender dash? I particularly like the quality finish applied to the plywood bulkhead. :rolleyes: Not sure I'd like to sit in the rear seats with the seat belts as they are. It does have one benefit tho - makes me realise that my...

Whilst driving, leave the car in gear, turn the ignition off, a few pumps on the gas, and then turn the ignition back on (only works with a carb though). Did that in a company van in Trafalgar Square once - didn't half make the pigeons shift en masse, as well as **** en masse too. Somewhat...

Then Mr Spank visits Bottyland :eek:

I had a 2006 Disco 3 for just over a year. Lovely car to drive but did like a drink if you like to keep up with the general traffic flow (which you can do as its pretty happy at speed) or pootled around town. Mine was also in the higher road tax bracket, so when we sold the boat we used to tow...

I used to have a Disco 3 TDV6. Absolutely lovely car to drive, but did like a drink if you drove with any gusto at all, and was costly on road tax too (post March 2006), so couldn't justify, (or afford) keeping it as a daily driver. Had a Disco 1 before that, and the 2 cars are like chalk and...

Could the Disco transfer box be the problem? I've read loads about the effect these have on the gearing, with comments about them being almost undriveable, and needing lots of gear changing to keep them on the boil.

Nobody has asked what ratio transfer box is fitted. I recently assisted to change the engine in my 110 from a 2.5 petrol to a 200tdi (well, I made the tea and supplied the biscuits), and was disappointed when the thing was screaming its guts out at 50/55mph, but admittedly on undersized tyres...

Hi Do you still have these? I would be interested in taking them off your hands. Jon

I have a problem with the nearside rear upper indicator on my 1994 300Tdi auto Discovery. The indicator stays on with a constant light whether the ignition is on or not. When I indicate left, the bulb flashes alternatively to the one in the bumper, but stays on constantly when the indicator is...
