Thanks Guys, the car is on ebay, starting at 2250 for 3 days. I will drop that if it doesn't go. Not to sure on the write up, hard not to get too personal but there has been some interest. Also had some interest on Autotrader. Thanks again for all the tips and I will keep you posted....I might...

As per my previous Topic we are now very close to D-Day for a move to Hong Kong. I am still the proud owner of a V8 Discovery which I very much would love to keep but there is no way I can. If you are interested in a 1998 V8i ES Spec with a fantastic professional gas conversion, Southdown...

Guys, I have started work on a Blog that I intend to list as many of the lanes around Essex as possible on. I spent hours looking for information on the lanes on the web but just never found anything that really helped. I now know a fair few lanes and all though I am sadly moving to Hong Kong...

Hi, just found out that I am being posted overseas for a few years starting in December. Will be sellling my Disco :( so if anyone is interested let me know. I will be happy to answer any questions. 1998 V8 Discovery ES (3.9i) (Dark Metallic Blue) 5 Speed Manual Full Service History...

We bought it off Landspeed who are in Ipswich. I was impressed with their service and although I am a rubbish haggler we got all the window rubbers replaced and a few other small jobs done. We have noticed since picking it up that it has a leak in the manifold gasket, the tail lights don't work...

I have just bought my first Disco as a family car. We ended up buying a R reg V8 ES with LPG conversion. We managed to find that the installer of the gas was local to us and he knew the car quite well so we were relatively confident we were getting a good deal. We found that with the V8 you seem...

OK, we had a drive of a Tdi today and I found it a little disapointing as far as using it for the normal family car goes. Unfortunatley they also had a V8 there which I must admit was not what I had been planning on but it was such a good drive that I am seriouosly tempted. It has a gas...

After taking the family out on the greenlanes a couple of time in the old leaf sprung series 2 my Wife has decided she likes it but can do with out the aches that result from pre technology motoring. We are selling the family MPV and looking for a Disco.....looking to be a 300Tdi up to a max...

Sweet....now nothing will stop me....cough cough

Hi Folks, After your help getting the Series 2 going last time I thought I would delve into this pool of knowledge again. I need to get some sort of rubber cover for my Distributor and Coil to stop water getting in there. I have seen them in magazine before but just can't find it again anywhere...

Thanks for all the tips guys. Ended up with a New Coil, Condenser and Points and all is back in order now....

Thanks guys. Being new to the Landy owning experience and not being overly advanced on mechanics I have ordered a new coil and will start by trying that. Thanks for the advice above as I would have replaced all fuel parts first up.... Will let you know how it goes.

Hi, I have just recently aquired a 1959 Series II. It is fitted with a 2.25 engine ca. 1994 I am told. It was running well but today started to cough and splutter and jump alot. This happened after it was hard to start. The engine turns over fine and seems to idle ok but once it is in gear and...
