It's a hell of a change from the BMW Mini she originally wanted for her 60th birthday lol. She came up to me a year ago and told me she wanted a 90 instead, I knew I was onto a winner the day I met her. She handles it easily, she just has to jump up to get into it with it being so high and her...

My pleasure.

Or be like me and get to know your local Landy mechanic really well and become friends with him lol.

You reckon? I like it but on other Defender forums/Facebook groups the majority say it's an awful colour. While it will be upgraded further interior wise for more comfort etc and with a nice set of gloss black Mach 5 alloys it will be a working vehicle. My wife owns a laundry business and if...

She wants it either Keswick green or Atlantic green, both shades of the Heritage collection I believe.

I'm on the lookout for a 90 roof with alpine windows preferably close'ish to Newport in Wales. If anyone has one for sale please drop me a PM, thank you.

The truck cab is going, i'm on the lookout for a hard top with alpine windows. It's a lovely Landie fair play and i'm still amazed he let it go. I don't know if he needed the cash quickly or what but i'm not complaining. I did the same years ago when my wife and I rebuilt a 1971 Chevy Camaro...

Thanks for your kind comments everyone. I won't upset you and tell you what colour she's painting it lol.

That's a given lol. £4,100 my friend. Exactly, that's what makes it so sweet. In the original post my friend. It's a 1987 and it has been extremely well taken care of with only 98k on the clock. I've come close to buying a few for the wife but something has always held me back. The wife...

It's beautiful, the lad did so much work to it I can't believe he's sold it. I believe he said he's done 20 odd miles in it in 2 years for MOT's etc. The wife is happy as a pig in the proverbial so that means I get some peace and quiet. Major brownie points here.

Photos added to first post, let me have it :eek:

After an astronomical quote from Flux of £600+ for my Discovery 2 TD5 with 10 years NCB I saw Annettes & Orchard mentioned on a facebook group and gave them a call. They quoted me the exact same policy as Flux for only £324 so I went back to Flux just to see what they could do. I was then quoted...

Yup it was the one on eBay and fair play his write up didn't do it justice. It's parked in my garage now with my Disco and my sons little wind up Citroen C1 in front of it so it's safe for now. My mate (who's also my mechanic) is fitting a new steering wheel to it that can be taken off every...

I'll take them tomorrow in daylight (provided it hasn't been stolen overnight lol). It's all primered ready for paint or wrap (whichever is more economical as this cleared my account out completely) and has had so many upgrades it's unreal. So far it's had :- TD5 front and rear axles with new...

They'll follow shortly. Got to be honest, these are beasts. I need a bloody ladder to get in it.

I've just bought my wife a mint 300 Tdi 90 pick up (soon to be a CSW) and I have to say it's not until you've driven one of these that you truly appreciate the luxury and comfort of a Disco 2 Td5 lol.

I'm looking for the drinks holder that fits into the front dashboard. How much including postage?

The retaining clip has broken on my dashboard drinks holder and is now permanently out so I was wondering if anyone is scrapping a Disco and has one for sale. Keep catching my shovel sized hands on it when changing gears lol.

Much appreciated gentlemen, many many thanks.

I have a 2002 TD5 Disco 2 and would like to attempt some repairs myself. How difficult is it to service the turbo unit? It's been lagging like hell lately and leaving me in some embarrassing situations when needing a quick exit from a junction etc. the car has just had a service so I'm assuming...
