Hi, I'm looking for some company to go out and explore some lanes around Dorset particularly round the Purbeck area. Been out on my tod a couple of times near where I live but might be pushing my luck. I'm all new to this so any wisdom would be much appreciated. Ive marked all the UCRs I can...

Hi folks. I'm looking for a Discovery TD5 manual. I have managed to find an American spec manual which has a lot of detail about the V8 but less about the TD5. I'm sorry if this question is repeated often. I've tried to use the search function and whilst Ive found some links posted they all...

James Martin seems to be the oracle for all things LR. And a little scary, like the forums headmaster.

Happy Christmas folks. Went through a rut earlier in my Disco 2. The engine cut out and engine management and hdc lights came on. It wouldnt start for a couple of minutes. Any idea what these two mean together?

Do you mean gearbox oil?

Ok. I got back in to check the gears change without the engine on. Everything seems ok. Took it down the road and everythings back to normal. Im so confused.

Im beginning to think Ive got a lemon. Last weekend I had a problem with my brakes so my disco td5 hasnt moved for a week. I replaced a pipe and hose yesterday, went to fire it up and the battery was flat. So this morning I recharged the battery and decided to take it on a trip up the dual...

Should I throw it in the bin then?

As the title of the post suggests really. Bought a new one from eurocarparts and it arrived slightly damaged. They sent me a replacement but i managed to straighten the original out with some pliers. Near Dorchester. Could possibly deliver anywhere up to Poole as Im up there for work.

Hi folks. Second post about this topic so I do apologise. Bloody newbies! Whilst 'tinkering' at the weekend I split a brake cable. After futher research I realise Im now going to have to bleed my brakes through. The landrover workshop manual says that I should raise the vehicle. Trouble is I...

This morning i removed the running boards from the sides of my new disco and took her out for my first day greenlaning. Loved every minute.

Hi. I'm about as new as you are. Should be picking my first landy up tomorrow from Poole. A '99 disco, would have loved a defender too but there seems a big premium on them. Might see you out one day!

Hi Pikey. Im looking at buying it off a friend who has been using it as his daily drive for a while now. Had a bit of work done since hes bought it and he's very good with cars. I dont think Id look at buying it if it was from ebay or such. Ive picked up that the main areas to check for rust are...

Hi chaps. Very close to purchasing my first landy. A 98 discovery 2. Im really excited and kind of scared. My mechanical knowledge is pretty much non existent but Im hoping with a haynes manual and a little help off the forum I can take care of at least the basics. Let the journey begin...
