A 1992 Range Rover Vogue SE 3.9 V8 EFi Automatic! And it only cost me £350! 5 Months MOT 12 Months TAX 314,193 miles on the clock (however full service history makes up for that!) New tyres 1,200 miles ago Just been serviced by a Land Rover main dealer 2,000 miles ago Here are the luxuries...

After gingerly driving 3 miles to the nearest town to get some food, I stopped outside the bank to get money out, and when I came back the engine wouldn't run at all! Just cranked over and over and over... I finally opened the bonnet and popped open the air filter cover, and it was packed with...

She's mint! Don't off road her!

Just 30 minutes ago there was a knock at the door, and there was my mate Mike and my 1993 Land Rover Discovery 5 door 200TDi parked at the side of the road! He has replaced the oil pump for me since my other Diesel is written off. What a nice thing to do eh ? :) Now I've got to buy him a...

You're near Elgin ? I'm in Elgin Dr Grays hospital just now :lol:

Nope, drums alright. He has done me a favour. I prefer drums on older cars.

No, the snow came and went, however it is coming back tomorrow or the next day. As far as I know the early Disco's had drum rear brakes. That or it has been converted to drums for some reason. However I'm a bit ****ed off because I went out to start the old girl up earlier and within 5...

My 200TDi's oil pump bit the dust a week ago with the light on, so I'd say it might be that.

Funny this thread should come up, I had to pull 2 Freelanders out of a ditch in my Discovery 3 door 3.5 V8 just before the snow melted away. A Freelander is the equivalent of a Ford Mondeo in 4X4 terms, a Discovery is like a Ferrari Enzo, and a Range Rover is like a Bugatti Veyron!

Yes :lol:

They're not as good as Range Rovers! Or Discoverys for that matter!

This morning I decided to get the 1990 Landy Disco 200TDi 3 door ready for the snow! I changed the sooty glow plugs for fresh Bosche ones, changed both front Shock Absorbers (they were the originals and leaking, causing it to dip and dive quite a bit, yes I know, Landy's do dip and dive, but...

That's them!

They aren't like yours, they are quite chunkey though, so you would think they'd work great.

I went out tonight in 6" of snow in the 1990 200TDi with almost new BF Goodrich tyres on, and it was all over the joint! My '94 Peugeot 405 1.9TD FWD would have made it better with almost bald budget tyres! First thing tomorrow I'll be swapping the wheels over from the '93 200TDi which is...

I'd say about 28-30.

113,000 Miles.

Length, width - 1.8".

6.2 Inches.

Yep, another "oh ****!" moment. The snow has all gone now, leaving a 2" layer of solid ice on all the roads. I stupidly thought the V8 could go over it fine, since it managed snow OK! First few streets went OK, then I came do a downhill, pressed on the brake pedal, and all four wheels locked...
