    New discovery owner!! some help please!?

    Mine definitely locks at 52mph, and the reduction in revs is very noticeable (3000 rpm seems a bit high to me but I will check next time I am out). Its a bit of a pain for me actualy because Ilike to cruise around at about 50-55 but to avoid a constant hunting I have to go a bit faster. I had...

    Why did you buy a disco!!

    Bought mine as a sacrificial van to generally carry **** to the tip and to use over winters so that the C63 didnt have to get covered in salt. I find that I enjoy driving the Disco more than the Merc now, so much that when it comes times to change I'l be changing the Merc for a new(er) Disc 4...

    New owner and now 4x4 convert

    I had the same "why didnt I get one of these years ago" experience. Its more like buying a hobby than buying a car. All my Christmas pressies were LR related (models, T-shirts, even spare parts! never had that before). The people that I've spoken to or met by owning the disco have, to a man...

    I think that your right. I also think I can stand it until the end of winter. In fact most of the jobs can wait for a little while. Might just have a look at the sedimenter, EGR blank and de-cat pipe. Mind you whilst I'm at it I may as well check out the calipers, Oh my God its starting isnt it...

    New (to me) 300 TDi

    Hi. I've been lurking for a while but recently bought my 1st Land Rover. A 1996 TDI300 Auto. I should have bought one years ago I've always thought the best car is a transit van and the Disco is like a posh van but with other benefits. SHe's done 158,000 miles but looks like the majority of...

    Picture of my Crap Heap!!!!

    Guess not! Gonna grease UJ's and renew swivel grease tomorrow hopefully get some result. Spose a new thread on the subject may be helpful? As opposed to current hijack (waits for tumbleweed to blow by). Just thought maybe someone would have some experience to impart .

    Can I ask if you managed to track down the squeak? It sounds like something mine does. Usually starts about 7 or 8 miles from home and seems to be related to steering wheel position, it goes when the brakes are applied. I assumed that it was a front wheel bearing but when I looked they are both...
