It's my 3rd car and only used for laning, maybe the odd pay & play day

Been laning this weekend in my disco td5, was really pleased to be fair but I've still got the defender itch that I want to scratch. The car I'm considering is a 90 van td5, in blue 2000 (130k), it's got a few mods, winch, 2" lift kit, rock sliders, mud tyres etc. Is this a wise idea? I...

Went on the Wales trim over the weekend, on the whole was very surprised how my disco 2 tackled the lanes. Couple of battle scars due to overhang on the back, nothing too serious! I did however have 2 more serious problems, on strata coming back my alternator threw a hissy fit and put the...

Alternator was ok today, jet wash and a hammer sorted that!

Hopefully it won't be anything too sinister, sure the guys on here will give you some good advice. I doubt the weekend would cause a turbo failure? Could be that red diesel?

Thanks for a brilliant weekend. It was great to meet you all!! Special thanks to the organisers of this trip and those who helped us with the unexpected stop:D !!! Got some good pics and videos that we will load up and please let us know if you want anything emailing! Also if anyone has any of...

It's mine that's f*cked up. Been in water about 2 foot deep, the alternator itself seems dry, however think there may be some muddy deposits in there preventing the brushed making contact. The only tool we havnt got it a T50 socket to get the bottom bolt out, the rest has been removed so...

Are we all meeting in the pub & or eating together tonight? I assumed that was the plan Saturday but not sure about tonight?

Natural yoghurt out the fridge, take anti histamine paracetamol & ibuprofen. You will need to rinse the yoghurt off after an hour as it will dry like a crust!

Good good

Going to sort cb radio tomorrow, what set ups you guys got? Obviously there's the radio itself, Ariel & hand held mic, but what about a speaker?

Got the truck ready to go, fitted everything myself, actually surprised as I wouldn't normally have done it all, would have been too worried on my other cars but these land rovers are pretty primitive engineering! Realised why my steering is off centre, the steering bar is fooked! Must be bent...

Are you sure you will be up and ready to go for 9am, all this talk of the pub on Friday night?

I have got a brand new set of cooper discovery at on mod rims Can sort a deal if you want?

The bonnet pull lever is broken in my discovery td5, had been like this since I bought it! However, I've got some mole grips on the cable and it usually opens fine. Came to open this morning and no matter how hard I pull it will not open, the cable is not moving inside the black outer. Now...
