sir Adrian Just spoke to a neighbour and she said she saw it head Luton way, and we had been in Stopsley yesterday evening, so maybe we were followed home? If you could keep your eyes peeled around there too, that would be great.

Cheers Mad Hat Man, I've used the picture you posted, if you don't mind.

Hi all, haven't been on here for a while. Was planning on restoring my 2a this summer but some twunt decided to help themselves to it last night. It was taken around 3am from Hitchin, Hertfordshire. If any of you see/hear of it I would be very grateful to hear some news! There'll be a reward...

I've just had a look on paddocks website, and at the Bearmach parabolics. there £75 and £85 a pair, is this good? anyone had any experience with these springs? and is paddocks a good place to buy from? and how easy/hard are they to fit? are these the shocks i should get with them...

thanks for that. i've probably got about 500pounds to spend. i am fairly mechanically minded although have any garage facilities available. but im up for trying anything that requires a socket set, some ramps, WD40 and elbow grease!! keep the suggestions coming.... thanks simon

evening everyone, i have a 1968 series 2a (2.25 petrol) and recently considered getting a disco for a first car and doing some off roading. after trauling through the disco forums and reading about all the expensive problems with them and then looking at a couple of rotton discos i have decided...

Thanks for all the advice. I went back tonight to have a second look, and after prodding around under the bonnet found the inner wings to be fu*ked, rotten and falling apart with a tiny amount of pressure. As well as in other places. Anyway... a fool and his money are easily parted... so i...

Thanks for that beastie :) one more thing though - do you guys use the clear one or the black one? and how do you apply it?

I'm fairly new to the landy scene. I'm getting a disco in a month or so, and one of the first jobs will be to waxoyl it. is it just a case of pressure washing the underneath and then covering everything? or do i need to be careful of/miss out certain parts? or just do the main chassis? thanks...

i have just been to look at a 'H' reg disco. its done 120k and is in pretty good condition. A few cosmetic niggles to sort but looks ok apart from that. A little bit of corrosion around the back door, and i think the boot floor might need doing in the near future. All tyres and wheels are good...

Hi, i've just found this site. I've been missing out! Looks like a great site guys. I've currently got a Series 2a, but am going to be looking for an old Disco in the near future. Take a look at my post in the discovery section if you can offer any advice on buying. I look forward to becoming an...

I am going to be looking for a s/h disco within the next few months. I think i've got a budget of about £1600 (but could maybe stretch to a little more!) I am after a 2.5 TDI. Could anyone advise as to: 1) What year I should be looking at for this price? 2)What mileage is...
