    Discovery 3? Any good?

    Okay. As with most cars particularly landys I plan to keep a bit back for early repairs. Nobody ever sells a pristine car so I always expect something to come out of the woodwork within months of buying. Perhaps I’ve just been unlucky with landys in the past. There’s a local one which has with...

    Discovery 3? Any good?

    Once again I find myself coming back to landrovers... I haven't been around here for a couple of years since I currently have a VW t5 camper/ bike van. I sold my last landy (92 defender 110) a few years ago for the t5 for the purposes of using it as a camper, and transporting my off road...

    Range Rover classic wheel with cooper discoverer tyre

    Wheel and a good tyre for a tenner. Wheels pretty rusty but the tyres pretty good. Ideal as a spare of just for the tyre. Collection only from Hereford as per the eBay advert below: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=201997048871 I've put it on for a tenner but really it is...

    Claerwen Reservoir Track

    Hi all, It's been a while since I've posted here since I sold my defender last year to help fund moving house. I've driven the claerwen res road (half of it) before in the landy. At that time I wasn't entirely sure what the status was. Anyway, I was exploring elan valley on google maps last...

    Low Milage Petrol vs High Milage Diesel?

    I went to look at a Honda the other day. 150,000 miles on the clock. Due a cambelt change, and pulled heavily to the left which I think can be sorted with the renewal of some dodgy looking bushes. Long MOT though. It's around 850 quid so a bargain really, and although the interior is old and...

    Low Milage Petrol vs High Milage Diesel?

    Yeh I've been keeping an eye on freelanders for sale locally and around the £1500 mark there's one td4 with 170,000 miles on and several 1.8 petrols with under 90,000 miles on the clock. I'm tempted by a petrol just because there seems to be a fair few for sale and relatively cheap. Most seem to...

    Low Milage Petrol vs High Milage Diesel?

    I've got my eye on a 2003 TD4 with 151,000 miles on the clock. The discoveries and defenders I've owner have all done over 140,000 miles and seemed okay with a bit of TLC but I'm very concerned about taking the plunge with a FL because of the terrible reviews they get from anywhere motoring...

    Low Milage Petrol vs High Milage Diesel?

    Hi all, After selling the defender back in spring as it was too big, old, unreliable and unnecessary (aren't they all), and spending the summer just using my motorbike, I'm thinking now's a good time to get another car to see me through winter. Hopefully before the winter 4x4 price spike. I've...

    Defender to a Freelander?

    Well having settled on a 5 door, diesel model spec I'm now wondering whether I'd be better off spending a bit more and going for a 2003 onwards higher milage td4, or spending around 1650ish for a tidy L-series. The interior of the facelifted td4s seems more modern, and the front end will stand...

    Defender to a Freelander?

    Well cheers for the comments so far boys. Freelander seems like a good choice cos' it's like a best of both. Even the disco's I've had still turn every trip into an 'event' if you know what I mean. Freelanders seem to have far less fuss, and the lack of chassis to rot is selling them to me lol.

    Defender to a Freelander?

    I've had a couple of discoveries, a couple of series 3's, and I'm currently selling my defender. The thing is great but costs the earth to run. I'm constantly chasing minor niggles, and I never really use it off road. Somebody else could really make use of it and I'll happily make use of the...

    Poor Show, Defender Owners!

    I remember a couple of years ago when we had some snow, I was driving up a very steep hill onto a mountain pass, and my disco on A/Ts in diff lock low couldn't get up. After sliding and slipping about three times I gave up. As I reversed back down to a passing place I could turn around in, a...

    Tools for the job !

    I have halfords, and other makes socket sets of all shapes and sizes at home, but I've recently bought a 35 quid set off ebay, which to my surprise seem okay. I bought them just to keep in the 110, as I won't be heartbroken if they get nicked, and I figured a cheap set of sockets, spanners, and...

    Richard Hammond driving landy up a dam

    Just watched it and it's a bit of an anticlimax, but nice to see Land Rovers feature on tele nevertheless. The landy bit is in the last 15 minutes or so btw.

    Richard Hammond driving landy up a dam

    Just read about this on fbook. Haven't watched it yet but I'm guessing it will be spectacular. Think Hammond drives up a damn at Rhayader which isn't far from me so should be a good watch.

    Wheel/Tyre Combo Opinion

    Wolfs with G90s?
  18. R

    18 y/o with a 25 y/o Defender.. Well a 90!

    They certainly are a labour of love. I've owned my defender only about 3 months, and in the 2500 miles I've done in it, it's had a new clutch, new rear prop, replaced bulbs, new rear door lock, new thermostat, new alternator casing, both belts replaced, diff lock stuck on (now fixed), and...

    this is sooo wrong, do you agree ?

    Mad hat man that's very true, but I'd rather quality than quantity, especially when it's 20 quid. Besides, who needs a haynes manual, when you've got landy forums ;)
