5 mins to deal with dvla? lol ! true tho i need to have another look at it

yeah will do , its taken a while as it is but i had the confirmation so not sure why its miss behaving , i did tax it on the green slip former keeper had to drive it home as missing logbook so may need to do it again if ownership has now transferred

closer than you might think lol !

the vehicle has only just been purchased mate , so its in process of everything changing , not sure why its had a gap of a year tax tho as previous owner was still using it ??

mine has diff lock but you crawl underneath to do it , luckilly id done it at the start of the lane so she still had drive to the rear when the front snapped , its completely mangled the front axle so its a new axle and power steering pump next weekend ! the whole way home was banging ...

yes mate disco 2s dont have swivels the cvs are exposed so you can see it from the outside that its broken lol , theres not much left of it especially after over 120 road miles ! yeah i was using that to check the water depths before entering at parts where i was able to get to the side of the...
