    Insuring a Disco @ 17

    Call footman james, they offer classic insurance for young drivers. I would get a quote for a ser II as they should fall into the classic list (they will only insure a select few cars and they would give you a list of them either :-( ) Can you post back and let us know what they quoted...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    After renewing the rear breaking system I remembered I needed to grease the wheel bearings. Just finished stripping the hubs down and greasing the bearings and rebuilding. While I was under there emptied a can of stone chip on the chassis just for good measure :-)

    I have 240v hook up when at a camp site that lets you plug in. Then the on board charger tops up the aux battery (And the other half's electric blanket when the weather cools down LOL) . Most of everything else is 12v or Gas Get a gas cartridge cooker and a kettle, works for me :-)

    Nothing today but fitted a 12v solar panel yesterday with a regulator. Not sure how well it will top up the aux battery but on special at Maplins at the mo at £39 (was about £70)

    200 / 300 tdi into a SerIII Who to ask?

I had a 2.5 petrol 110 some time ago and it was a nice ride but I do like the simplicity of the 109, easy to work on, cheap parts etc. Plus I would have to sell the 109 to get a 110 (cant have 2 landys, well couldn't get away with owning 2)...

All this would take the conversion to around 2k, a bit out of my budget at the mo :-( But I still think a 200 300 tdi in...
