I'd be tempted to go TD5 that has a particularly good service history. Reasoning? I would believe all the teething problems from the production line will have been sorted out whereas the TDCI may still throw stuff up and will be more expensive to repair. What ever you get, make sure its...

you ruddy plonker Rob!! Give me a shout next time I'd have come over and done it/shown you how to do it! I completely overhauled the brakes/bearings and brake lines on someones disco last week, along with the amount of times I've had hubs off/axles apart on mine I can do wheel bearings with me...

Yup.

Gwyn lewis will sort you out too, worth giving him a ring

if your carrying heavy loads go for some bearmach heavy duty blue springs. I've carried large amounts of chopped up timber in the back of mine as well as had a sankey on the back fully loaded and they don't half take the strain well! Also towed the best part of 2.5 - 3 tonne with bearmach HD...

Hi Twinkletoes, Thanks for the positive comments! Running a heavy duty 2" lift at the moment and thinking of adding a 1" body lift as it does rub badly on articulation off road. I know a 2" body lift will clear the arches completely but I want a compromise so I can fit down greenlanes without...

it hates going into 2nd so I just pull away in second and use it as first. apart from that she's a pretty usual disco, rear doors don't lock/unlock, rear windows don't work, she leaks (water into the inside and oil out of the engine) and whenever I fix one bit of rust another appears! :lol:

:doh: I really wish people wouldn't use old oil... its bloody dangerous! I just hope there's not too many motorcyclists near you!

its gonna be marmite I think :/ lol The cold and noise I can deal with... wet, I think not! Will just have to see how bad it is when I get it on the road, if not I'll get the missus to re-trim it with something funky :D Work is on hold currently as I have someone else's disco in for a...

I'd go for standard height heavy duty springs and some decent standard height shocks whilst your at it. As said, I'd be more interested in thorough servicing and maintenance personally!

get rid of the golf! Keep the disco as a daily and keep it tidy, keep the 90 as a toy/workhorse Simples :)

I'm game! Got the landy running nicely again now so just need to find time to weld and MOT so out the game for recce's for a short while. I'll dig through my maps and see what I have in that area too!

quick update: Replaced battery with a new Optima Redtop, looked to replace the wire coming from the stop solenoid as its not the original. As I'm tracing it back I find an inline fuse holder... with a blown fuse :doh: replaced the fuse and put the spring back into the stop solenoid, fired it...

Recommend YRM Failing that patching - that's what I'll do this year, will probably have to replace entire inner wing in a couple of years though

Thats a good vid! Waterlanes much wetter than it was a few weeks ago! We went out just before christmas and there wasn't any where near as wet as that!

there should be a poll so we can vote :p I prefer the first option with the clear lenses separated personally

also near southampton and know the lanes round that area, give me a shout some time if you fancy giving it a go

Welcome, I frequently visit london for work and my better half's mum lives on the south london/north surrey border. Very rarely venture up there with the landy though :lol:

yer mean LZ isn't yer favourite?! :eek::eek::eek: :lol: a 2" lift won't make it any better off road, just makes you able to fit bigger tyres. Get some all terrain's/mud tyres and some under body protection and go have some fun before you spend a fortune!

Sure has ifloochies, been busy and feeling guilty for neglecting the old girl! Hopefully another update before the end of the week!
