Appreciate all the replies. New engine quotes were too high and I needed wheels quick so have bought a Disco 2. Seems in decent enough condition, here's hoping it is. Thanks.

Cheers for the replies. I'll take it all on board. Thanks.

Cheers for the reply. I'm going to pop round to the garage tomorrow to see what they say. The gasket was blowing out the back in two places, that's what caused the oil leak which I didn't realise. I took it back because the garage thought the tappets just had not settled. But now I think he...

I've a 1996 300TDi that has sadly died. Love the car, but don't know what to do. I know nothing of mechanics so any work will be done by a garage. I had the Head Gasket repaired a couple of weeks ago. It was fine for a fortnight but has now started tapping. The garage, who I trust, say that...

Just the one in my profile pic, a 1996 300tdi. I've owned mainly Series III's and MGB's before. I've only owned the Discovery for a few weeks and have to say that I absolutely love it.

Okay, I might have a look at that. Cheers.

Hi Guys & Gals, When I bought my Disco 1 one of the rear reflectors was damaged. Sourced the parts easily and cheaply. I've just replaced the broken one, mainly with brute force breaking what remained of the old reflector off the car. Now I planned on replacing the other side, just so they...

Drove to work. About to drive home. Oh the excitement of my life :)

Landy owner once more :)

I use Footman James. I pay around £130 fully comp, classic car policy.

Well the manual says no more than 30mph in 4x4 if I recall. If you do make any sharp corners on tarmac in 4x4 at 30 I hope you have a roll cage!

Got my first Landy when I was 26, my third car following a crappy Fiesta and a rust ridden MGB GT which I loved but couldn't afford to maintain. I tend to get around 15 mpg (on a good day) out of my Series 3. I do use my Landy to commute to work, but then it's only a 10 minute drive. In...

It's not something silly like collapsed fuel filter is it?

All sound advice. :)

When I bought my Series III the intention was to just use it as a local runaround, especially with the price of petrol nowadays. Next week I'm going to make a 130+ mile journey. Like many old Landy's it does tend to wander a little and keeping it going for a couple of hours plus is going to be...
