Thanks for the replies guys, Very entertaining reading! I'll keep an eye on Flea bay over the next couple of weeks. Cheers Carl

Can anyone tell me if the roof bars on the disco 2 are the same as the disco 1? I am trying to get some cross bars to carry my Kayak and have seen lots of Disco 1 cross bars at good prices but disco 2's seem less available and more expensive - mines a 2003 face lift model. Can anyone point...

You're doing a great job mate. fair play to you! Carl

Was looking at an 07 Disco 3 last week, £21k. Very nice but at the end of the day, my 6 year old girl looks fabulous polished up and drives sweet. That's why I had the old girl overhauled, all new disks, all the drips of oil and diesel fixed up. Cost me well over a grand but she's hopefully...

Does anyone remember that episode of Fools and Horses when Trigger wins an award for keeping the same Broom for 20 Years. he then confirms to Del boy that it is the same Broom but it has had 30 handles and 25 heads? Well, thats a bit how I feel about my disco. I've had her for 3 years and...

Like them all guys - keep em coming!!

The missus is going ape. The drive was covered in snow, then rain, now its dried up and revealed numerous patches all over me drive. I have had a look underneath and nothing apparent although it seems to be coming from the engine area. Its going in for a service tommorrow so hopefully...

I shall wait an see wot happens. To say i shall be a bit Peed off if they try to make a claim against me will be an understatement. Not sure what my insurers will say. It makes you feel like not bothering to help anyone at all. However,if it was my wife and mother stuck 5 miles from...

Thanks fr the advice guys. My stance should her insurers contact me will be the truth in that she was steering and in control of the vehicle, my disco was providing traction nassistance only and was well away from the hedge One thing is for sure, the disco was not sliding or directing her...

How do. Can anybody advise whose insurance prevails whilst recovering a vehicle with a tow rope. Reason being, I dragged 2 ladies out of the snow in a small car today - they were stuck on a hill. in the process, the car slipped and scratched the wing on some thorn bushes. The ladies...

Nice one mate, hope you enjoy it.

How do? I came off the motorway today having done around 150miles in my 03 TD5 auto and sat in traffic on the inclined ramp upto a right turn on a bridge. I had been tanking it a bit as I was late, but only up to around 65. I usualy don't do above 55. When I pulled away at the bridge, the...

Hi Mate, We tow a Bailey Senator with our 2003 TD5 Auto. Can't tell youve got it on the back. Its different again to towing with a 'car'. You don't get thrown round in the disco,the disco has complete authority over the caravan and the whole outfit feals very safe. The Auto takes all the...

Hi Fellas, Now i've been flapping for while about Traction control ability and off roading as i've never had the oppertunity to do any. However, at a family party on Saturday I was chatting to my brothers father in law who happened to have 300 acres of farm land in Staffordshire and agreed...
