    How to hand paint a landy(with pictures)

    I painted my disco last weekend with a 4inch foam roller, Asda sell 2 harris ones for £1.50 and they done the job really well, when you first start rollering you do get a few bubbles, but if you just roller over them a couple of times they go away. here's a couple of pictures of what its like...

    Ideas for the roof.....

    I'm painting my disco this weekend in Satin Nato Green, seems a bit lighter than expected but I think it'll look good with Matt Black painted rubbing strips on the doors. The only problem I have is I don't want to paint the roof of the disco the same colour because I think it'll look too...

    Central locking replacement

    I purchased a similar kit off ebay but it never had any actuators. 45mins work yesterday and I got it working, although I had to lubricate my locking mechanism because it would unlock and try to lock but due to the stiff mechanism it wouldn't so a bit of wd40 and job done. The system I...

    Drivers window replacement

    cheers guys, i've found a seller on fleabay who's local and wants £15 so I'm collecting it on saturday. I thought it might be fairly simple to do but rather than take the doorcard off and start scratching my head. I'll take a few pictures when I do it and post them in this thread in case...

    Drivers window replacement

    Got home this evening to find this, I opened the door so don't worry it wasn't broken into but does anyone know how easy it is to replace the drivers window and can you give any useful tips. I can't go through the insurance because my insurance doesn't cover glass :-(

    not stolen but vandalised

    not stolen but vandalised

    exactly, the only positive to come out of it is they've given me reason to chequer plate the bonnet and fit a snorkel. but i hope they die a painful death or pull out on me one day so my disco can destroy their car lol

    Land Rover Experience cars - standard?

    I went on a LRE at Eastnor Castle last year, we used a 2010 Range Rover TDV8 HSE, the only modification on it was a guard on the bottom of the front bumper which the instructor admitted was only on there because they kept ripping the front bumpers off and their manager was getting a bit ****ed...

    First Pay & Play day - advice?

    The main thing I done on my first pay n play which was at Avon Dassett in my Disco1 3.9 V8 was drive upto the car park where you could see a fair bit of the site and watched people for about 15minutes, deciding a route to tackle that I knew I could do, and just stayed away from things I wasn't...
