    LOL. You might get faster replies, but lets be honest you don't need to open a thread, you don't need to type abuse. Why waste your own time even opening the thread then wasting more giving abuse?

    Sorry I didn't get 10k of posts from abusing people asking common information. I don't doubt its a good forum with a wealth of information, but peoples attitude here does leave a little to be desired at times.

    Don't open the thread, it will drop of the board soon enough. Or someone will come along and offer them help, I understand where your coming from with it, try being staff on a site that is designed for cars that 17 year olds have, you wouldn't believe some of the crap posted, luckily facebook...

    LOL I signed up in Oct 2010 I've seen alot, but do I feel the need to open the thread just so I can increase my post count? No if I have nothing to add I don't post, quite a few here could learn from that. Being part of forum staff on many forums I'd have banned the consistent offenders...

    I've been here longer than a fair few of the major posters here, I struggle to post anything as the shear **** that dribbles out of some peoples keyboards are unreal. As for the rules I would like to think that attacking members is up there? Is it to hard to think that we all started...

    Does your landy start ok on LPG ??

    Mine won't start, it has to get up to temp before it automatically switches. I have thought about trying to change it but its not worth the effort IMO as its only a few minutes on petrol before swapping to LPG

    What mileage is your Disco 1 on?

    Defender 90 with Diff Locks?

    I have a snow boarding mate that has just swapped his 90 for a TD5 Discovery, but is looking at getting a Land Cruiser in its place.

    Number plate location - sun visor?

    If they want to be funny they will get you either way as its meant to be at the most forward part of the car. Coming from a Max Power back ground I have encountered the issue a few times, if they get arsey they can issue a £30 fine and a refer you to a garage to have the slip stamped saying its...

    vivaro/primastar/traffic??

    Buy a newer Vito. I've had the pleasure of my mate 04 plate trafic, gearbox, 2 sets of lower arms, EGR failure, turbo, gear linkage cables the list goes on, its helped me maintain my TD5 so I shouldn't complain to much.

    Why did you buy a disco!!

    I was given mine, got given the TD5 as mum was thinking about moving up in cars and my Laguna was being a pain in the arse. I got given the 300 V8 because I needed to replace the van that dad wanted gone and the TD5 had broke. Some time later I was left with 2 broken Discoverys that I was...

    TD5 Auto 33 mpg after EGR removal

    Interesting, this is something I keep looking at doing with mine, that and a de-cat, I ought to check there is actually a cat under there first. I also have the ACE light issue, mines leaking somewhere in the front drivers arch I think, hoping its just a pipe not the ram, mind everything else...

    Anyone running a V8 On LPG?

    I have a Disco 1 3.9 V8 Auto on LPG around 11mpg daily with LPG around 79p/litre. Yes it feels a bit down on power, you have to push the pedal a bit harder, on petrol it was getting around 15-18mpg. Noise is nice, but if you enjoy the noise it will easily be single figure MPG. Mine is a full...

    My 3.9 V8 disco not very fuel efficient! help!:(

    Am only getting 11mpg on gas and thats fine, its only because the fuel gauge drops while on gas and I smelt petrol so looked deeper in to it. I found mine round the back axle area, it was damp and stunk, it got worse very quick and I could soon see a drip. Am replacing the broken pipe with a...

    My 3.9 V8 disco not very fuel efficient! help!:(

    Sounds like you have a fuel leak to me, it doing about the same as mine is with its fuel leak, mines on the return line so aslong as the engine is running its still pushing petrol round causing a low pressure leak.

    Which discovery is best?

    I've got both 300 V8 ES and TD5 XS. They are night and day really. If you can afford to buy a D2 then get one of them, IMO a much better alrounder.

    Whats the law regarding seats?

    This recently stopped me swapping my TD5 Discovery for a 110 as I am the same with my licence. I didn't see any point in taking the extra seats out of the back as it would defeat the point of having a 110 CSW. I am still looking in to which bits and who to see about upgrading my licence.

    2 Disco's twice the pain....

    I asked if he wanted to go through the side doors, just shrugged his shoulders and went "Be reet". Based on the amount of rust hidden inside am surprised it didn't just disintegrate. What was more impressive was the rear doors staying shut with around 300 kg of scrap resting on them with it...

    Changing from manual to Automatic

    Best thing about auto is hill starts as it holds itself ready for moving. Down hill you can either put in one of the drive gears and it holds there or if its a newer auto select hill decent.
